I have never had color explained so simply to me. It makes sense to me the way you explain it. I too have loved art since a small child. My parents could not keep me supplied with paint by number oil sets when I was young. I had a 42 year career in Intensive/cardiac nursing in Hospitals. Now at 67 I am a Bed and Breakfast owner and operator with my husband. Art has never left my life. I now take some oil paintings lessons and I also do encaustic wax painting. I spent this afternoon watching several of your color videos ( blue color, etc.) and taking notes so that I can experiment with those colors. Thank you.
Honestly, you are the best online instructor Ive ever come across online. Thank you for sharing your outstanding knowledge of the art world with us. Much appreciated
Thank you Jason for this video!! I had previously spent several frustrating hours trying to mix a specific grey until I saw this video. Your information helped me obtain the grey I needed fast. Many Thanks!!
I’m learning to 🎨 solely through video podcast tutorials. I’ve been painting a year now, & didn’t know this. Ty so much for the very valuable info I wasn’t aware of. I’m now subscriber!
This helped so much. Thank you again Jason for all your hard work , your time and effort in producing all of your amazing videos. I’m watching all of them and taking a lot of notes on all the subjects you made videos on . Cheers !
Thank you so much! I am in a class where we are copying a Master and I chose Mary Cassatt’s “ Girl in a Straw Hat” and have been going crazy trying to mix a matching background. This teacher has us only using a 7 color palette, but your video was wonderful because I really began to get it conceptually. Thank you so much! I will now go and check out your website and I have subscribed to you channel. Bottom of my heart thank you!
Thanks so much for the nice comment! I'm so glad you found my video helpful. good luck with your class! Copying old masters is a time honored tradition as a learning tool. I've seen art students at the Met in New York copying the Rembrandts right there in the museum... French easel and all! :)
Beautiful alchemy. One would never know from looking at this palette, that it is actually good ol' ordinary "grey" being demonstrated. The rose and green is a particularly intriguing mixture. Thank you.
Just watched the video for the second time just to reinforce some info on the mixing of greys. What a resource, now going to apply what I know. Thanks Mr Walcott.
I'm new to oil painting and my next challenge will be a beautiful scene on the Isle of Skye. Your informative video and wonderful teaching skills have helped me so much in mixing the colours I want. Thank you so much and all the best to you!
Thank you, this is brilliant! I discovered the power of subtle shifts in greys in digital art, but have been struggling to handle them in traditional media :) This has been immensely helpful, much more so than most color mixing videos around.
I still come back and review these videos periodically, bc they are so good. I did find an interesting Italian Green Raw Umber from Rublev (PBr 7). It comes as very fondly ground pigment, & one need only mix it well w/ some good oil. It’s a dark kind of olive color that also makes a lovely greyish green 🙂
I believe I've told you previously just want to say again . . . YOU ARE A FANTASTIC TEACHER, all of your videos (yep, I've watch all of them) are wonderful, so informative and helpful . . . I watch, then a few months later, watch again. THANK YOU FOR TAKING TIME TO PROVIDE THIS INFORMATION.
sir: Thank you much, for the privilege of your time and sharing your artistic genius. You have explained a concept in art with clarity, efficiency and precision. You teach in a straight forward way absent of any platitudes. Your teaching is teaching not a “profusion of confusion. Please keep doing these videos. Respectfully, R
Just found you on RUclips. I am a beginner oil painter. You are such a good teacher. Thank you so much for your tutorial on mixing greys. I am currently trying to paint a piece of silver grey driftwood and wondered what advice you might have, Thank you.
Thank for watching and for the nice comment! I'm glad you've enjoyed my videos. :) For the wood I would use a combination of Burnt Sienna and Ultramarine to create your grays. I like that formula because it's easy to vary it towards warmer with more Burnt Sienna or cooler with more Ultramarine.
Dear sir, once again I am fascinated by your knowledge and simple explanation. Thanks for making such great videos. If I may request, can you please do a tutorial for painting PEARLS?
I was disappointed with my greys your video is the best explanation and uncomplicated and so easy to follow . Thanks for sharing I liked and subscribed 👍🏼
This makes so much sense, thank you very much, I find myself coming across grays so much in the paintings I want to do and its such a challenging spectrum to get a hold of. I always start with cad red, ultramarine and yellow, but I always make the grey come out too purple, so this simplifies things a lot. It'd be great if you made a vid on mixing with those three colours though just so I can not chicken out and actually know how to do it
I’ve recently pulled back to a three colour palette and I am constantly coming up with new colours but the greys are very fun to work with. I still have other colours so I also experiment with what those combos can produce for grey but I believe that a grey created using only the colours in the palette pull the painting together with some sort of colour harmony.
That is very true! Neutrals can be the backbone of a great painting. It helps the color notes pop but also helps keep it cohesive. Thanks for watching :)
Another great video--very important and useful information well presented, thank you Mr. Walcott. And thank you too for showing us the beautiful flower still life at the beginning of the video. Quality work all around, you are a talented man, sir. All the best!
Well done! You did a wonderful job explaining the different compliments and showing the different tones and shades of gray. It's interesting, as a color consultant, I tell my clients the paint color by Sherwin Williams called Accessible Beige is a complex neutral and the undertone is pink. If only I could whip out my oil paint kit and show them:) Anyway, thank you for sharing your knowledge:) BTW I just subscribed.
Thanks so much for the nice comment and for subscribing! I'm so glad you found my video useful. It's amazing how maleable neutrals can be and how vital they are to good color schemes. :)
I watched this video again, really good. Do you ever use Payne's Gray? It's more common in watercolour than in oil, I like to use it to neutralize or darken other colours. I bought one in oil (M.Graham brand) but haven't tried it yet:)
Thanks for watching! I haven't really used Payne's Gray in my oil painting. I think it's very similar to the gray you get when you mix Ultramarine and Burnt Sienna.
Thanks for the mixing tutorial for greys. I am a beginner and trying to paint the BACK of a white beach chair. The FRONT of the chair is facing a sunset over water and that naturally causes the back of the chair to be darker. In that situation, I assume the chair would look more real-to-life if the back of the chair was painted a "warm" grey since it is a sunset beach scene. Is that correct? If so, should I lean towards mixing the burnt sienna, Ultamarine blue and a little white?
I'm so glad you enjoyed the video! Depending on the light, generally white objects outdoors in sunlight will have bluish/violet shadows. You can add some warmth with Burnt Sienna and tone down the blue a bit but generally those shadows will be mostly bluish due to reflected light from the sky. Thanks for watching :)
@@walcottfineart5088 Thank you very much for your prompt response. I will watch your video again and attempt to paint the back of the white chair with a bluish look as you suggested.
Hi. Can I make a good burnt sienna color starting with burnt umber and adding red? (The only 6 tubes I have right now are.... yellow lake, scarlet lake, Ultramarine, and yellow ochre. (and white). Or should I just use my 3 "primaries" ? thanks!
Thanks for watching! You're much more likely to get a color closer to Burnt Sienna by using your primaries...the two lakes and the Ultramarine. It's always possible to take a saturated color and bring it down, but you can't go back the other way.
thank you again jason, this video is very well explained, you know your stuff!....i used to make my grey by mixing, ivory black, vandyke brown and a little yellow ochre and then white....its a really nicely coloured grey, but i gotta say, i love that pthalo green and quin rose grey....gonna try it now on a zombie unicorn im painting...hahahaha....i make darkart.
Yes, grays made from mixing black and white can be a little one dimensional. You'll get much more interesting gray tones from mixing colors. Thanks for watching!
This is a very helpful video, sometimes when deciding which colors to get it is helpful to know which ones are exact mixing compliments. A couple things I’m still wondering about are, what about cerulean with cadmium red, and phthalo blue with pyrolle orange, and which violet would make a middle gray with cadmium yellow light -ultramarine violet, cobalt violet, manganese violet, or dioxyzine violet? They seem like they should mix a very middle gray but I don’t have those colors on hand.
Thanks for watching and for the nice comment! Yes, I should probably do a second video on this more in depth about different mixes! Cerulean blue and cad red light would probably be pretty good together. The thing with yellow and violet is tougher. You almost always wind up with brown rather than gray when you mix a bright yellow with a bright violet like the ones you mentioned. I will do another video and experiment with some more mixes! :)
Walcott Fine Art Interesting, if violet and yellow make brown usually that would be another pointer that maybe the cmy color wheel is true and yellow and indigo must be the true compliments, but which pigment would land on indigo most closely... this image shows it almost opposite to ultramarine violet watercolorjournal.files.wordpress.com/2016/04/img_6046-0.gif RGH artist oil paint carries one. Whenever I email to ask about a color, Rolf offers to send a free sample, you could try that. Although his paint has such good prices, its almost unnecessary. Some color mixing complement charts show a big hole across from primary yellow. I wonder what that means. Like, do we have a deficit as humans to distinguish between all the different types of violet and magenta-violet? Because last I checked, blue and yellow make green but that’s not what the cmy color wheel says.
Lovely video, and very important topic that every painter should master. One aspecto for using your own mixed black instead of a paint tube is that pigments like PBk7, PBk6 or PBk11 are too strong and "kill" organic pigment colors in mixtures. And the character of those mixtures are different, too. Thanks for keeping the videos up!
Thanks so much for the comment! I definitely agree about the black! You can mix your own or use a tubed black that is a mixture like Gamblin's Chromatic Black. That is a combo of Quinacridone Rose and Phthalo Green. I never liked the way Ivory Black looked in mixtures.
I have a grey glass color Paint,But I would like to make a Flat gull grey for model militery aircraft and war ships,A battleship grey if you will, what color should I mix with my dark grey glass color to get my light battleship grey. great video
Thanks for watching! Yes, Burnt Umber and Ultramarine will make a very nice neutral. If you were to add Cad Yellow to that it would definitely take on a green hue. But that could be good for a natural foliage color or even backgrounds.
Yes, not a lot of makers sell the cool version. Vasari's Raw Umber is cool and so is Jack Richeson (Shiva). Rublev also sells the same pigment/color as "Cassel Earth". Thanks for watching! :)
Thanks for watching! I'm not sure about a set that comes together per se, but Gamblin has a range of "Portland Grays", Lukas 1862 has their Warm Gray and Cool Gray, and Williamsburg has a series of "Neutral Grays" as well as a few others.
Thanks for watching! "Mud" is when you get one of those sort of dirty looking colors that isn't really a color...it's not even a pleasing looking neutral, it's just dull and yucky looking. It's kind of hard to describe in words. It also depends on where you put it in the painting more than the color itself. You will know it when you get it. :) Anyone who paints has made mud a few times. LOL
I have never had color explained so simply to me. It makes sense to me the way you explain it. I too have loved art since a small child.

Sir, is it the grey created other than black and white mixing is good for painting grey?
Yes, grays made from mixing black and white can be a little one dimensional. You'll get much more interesting gray tones from mixing colors. Thanks for watching!
This is a very helpful video, sometimes when deciding which colors to get it is helpful to know which ones are exact mixing compliments.

The pallete knife seems so flexible, i bought many but non of them are this flexible. May i ask what brand pallete knife you are using?

Thanks for the nice comment! I will do a video on skin tones at some point. I'm not really a portrait painter, but I could cover some general tips.
Thank you this was really useful!
Just what I really really needed to learn now.
Awesome!! :) Glad my video helped you...Thanks for watching and for the comment!
Would you please describe what making Mud is in mixing colorés !
Thanks for watching! "Mud" is when you get one of those sort of dirty looking colors that isn't really a color...it's not even a pleasing looking neutral, it's just dull and yucky looking. It's kind of hard to describe in words. It also depends on where you put it in the painting more than the color itself. You will know it when you get it. :) Anyone who paints has made mud a few times. LOL
Thankyou Jason
