- Welcome to our FINAL tutorial on how to mix paint, specifically mixing purple paint. You can achieve both soft and vibrant purple, as well as muted shadow tones, but there's a bit of a trick. Let's go!
➤ COLOUR MIXING PLAYLIST: • Mixing Green ACCURATEL...
Hello and welcome to The Gold Coast Art School channel!
I could have filmed this series a bit better. I've tried to talk about important colour theory, and show you what that looks like on the page. And here we are at PURPLE! And this is possibly one of the trickiest secondary colours to make. The reason has to do with the pigmentation within the tubes of paint, and how deeply saturated they are. Red and blue will make purple, yes, but you cannot achieve a VIBRANT purple from what comes out of the tubes.
You need to introduce another colour to get there: Magenta.
We're using acrylics paints for this (specifically Chromacryl brand, which simply says "warm" and "cool" on their bottles instead of named colours) but it's the same with oils and watercolours to an extent. Another colour you could consider using is "Quinacridone Pink" or "Permanent Rose" as opposed to something that simply says "Magenta". You will gain different shades and tones of purple depending on the brand, quality and colour you use. So if painting with purple is your bag, it's absolutely worth experimenting to find what you LOVE!

I have a studio art degree and I feel like every professor failed me on color mixing. I learned SO much in this video and I can’t wait to mix some purples :)
Oh wow! Well I'm really glad to hear this helped ❤️ Love purple!
This video was exactly what I was looking for! I've been struggling with purple and this helped me so much :)
No worries Noah 🙂
I'm painting a photo as a present for my brother and I've been RIPPING my hair out trying to mix a very bright magenta, only to finally find someone who speaks the truth. I'll have to buy it in store😂 wish I didn't just spend 3 hours mixing every red and blue I have while Shouting "HOW IS THIS NOT WORKING" but thank you for your video!!😂👍
So sorry you went through that pain! It's such a bugger of a colour to try and mix up sometimes. It's all to do with the pigments. But at least you found the reason for your troubles and I hope your brother loved his pressie 🙂 Jess
This video series were so helpful - thanks Jess!
Excellent video!! I've been struggling, too, with violet/purple mixing. Thank you so much.
It's a bit of a weird one! Glad we could help you out 🙂
Wow so interesting to see all the purple color variations! I'm trying to make different purple shades and it's been a lot harder than when I did greens. Thanks for the help 😊
Purple is a really funky colour, it's quite particular! Enjoy your colour mixing 🙂
Great little tutorial - thanks.
Thank you so much Angie! 🙂 Jess
Fantastic 😄
Good topic. All my regrets concerning these colours have included boxes of Dylon dye!

Hello - thank you for this video. Who was the guy on Instagram that you saw give a tutorial on magenta / why the colour wheel is problematic please?
Oh gosh, I can't even remember now... but, it's one of those funky things that isn't exactly common knowledge but has been known for many, many years. We teach the double-primary method of colour mixing, but it's not the only method out there! And while you can mix around 95% of colours using this method, there are some that are left out and you need additional colours such as magenta to create. Colour theory is pretty fascinating.
I feel like u need to add more blue to the last two
I'm sorry but I still cant see the kinda purple i love come through.. .. however I'll take the magenta tip n go forth n mix with blue till I find that moment I see the magic purple colour just appear. Thanks so much for this x
Sorry about that, what kind of purple are you after? If you're using oils and not acrylics, try using Quinacridone Rose. It's also a very special colour like Magenta is, and will give you much more vibrant purples and reds.
@@GoldCoastArtSchool ohhhh no no no no need to apologise. I'm sorry my msg may have came across wrong...I went out first thing especially for magenta...added some blue and BINGO the colours of purples just exploded in the mixing cup. Thank you so much..again my apologies on first msg...good luck and keep on mixing.
You mixed pink
Paint with you videos
Paint... *with* the videos? Tell me how!
Can we not mix the magenta?
There HAS to be a way.
I'm a purist wanting to start with only the primary colors!!! Lol
We specifically teach the 2-primary method here at our school, so we very much think it's the way to go! But the fact is, you can't mix every single other colour with just that method. You will still get shades and tints of purple without magenta, but you won't get that vibrant, spicy purple. It's not a failure, it's just how colours react with each other.
