Tess Caze this was an amazingly informative vid really what I needed i would always try to mix a lot of paint cuz i found it difficult to match colors and I didn’t wanna run out 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
Notes I have written down so far... at 14:30 •VALUE should be your first priority! •BLUE and BROWN will DARKEN a color. •YELLOW and WHITE will LIGHTEN a color. • If something looks GREY it really means it looks more BLUE. • If somenthing looks BROWN it really means it looks more REDish or ORANGE.
And this is the only thing I needed to learn at art school and was never taught. Your free video just surpassed my $30k college tuition. Thanks a million.
Notes: - Use blue to darken cool colours and brown to darken warm colours - Focus on value first then the colour - using the opposing colour to neutralize and tone down a colour - use white to lighten cool colours and yellow for warm colours
He intentionally tries to mess up on the first color... deliberately grabs some of everything to try and make a hodgepodge... and almost nails the color right on. Awesome. It's like watching a Wayne Gretzky hockey tutorial "Don't worry about doing too much to begin with. We're just going to skate a round a little bit, have some fun, and then just try to touch the puck with our stick..." *tap* *Scores game winning goal* Humor and awe aside, your color mixing examples and clear approach have been astoundingly helpful to watch and learn from, thank you!
I literally was like; absolutely not. Blue, yellow and red make an ugly brown colour. Because that’s what they teach me in school. I never knew how to mix a grey without black and this is literally such an eye opener to what I learned. Thank god you and the internet exist
same with mixing black, i was like, OF COURSE, a dark blue and dark brown make black, they balance the temperatures while also being very dark. How have i never thought of that!
same! ive been struggling so much with painting lately because i have no idea where to even start when trying to mix a color. but now im thinking... omg duh you can mix red blue and yellow together like that! theyre the frickin primaries!
I watched so many color theories and every time got confused. This gentleman cleared all my hurdles. What a simple and peacful lesson. God bless you sir. With love and regards,
I have never been a painter. I'm not currently looking to become a painter. Why did I watch this? It's so fascinating to watch someone who is a great teacher who you can also tell is passionate about what they are teaching. If I ever do want to take up oil panting I know exactly what videos to come back to.
try bob ross as well, he's the king of turpentine, whenever you decide to join the dark side (oil panting side; perks include: skin and eye irritation, nobody cares about your art, and infrequently you will find sky blue paint underneath your penis on the ball-sack skin.
Oh my god I love Bob Ross painting. It's so fun. I don't care if anyone cares about my art or not. I just do it for myself and if someone likes it, they can have it, and it's fun to have my own paintings decorating my walls. Lots of my friends and family have my works. I'm pretty careful to not make a mess because I don't have a whole room I can spray "odorless" mineral spirits all over and I like painting flowers more because I'm a plant person, and there's the "Bob Ross" floral painting books that are fun and then there's another guy, but yeah..it's fun, .Gary something...that does a similar style but the effects are far more beautiful.
They say that if you don't know how to explain something simply, then you don't understand the subject. You explain this so simply, and you have such a deep knowledge for color. Thank you so much for taking the time to teach people, especially at a beginning level.
I started to watch thinking “oh here we go another painting demo...” but was absolutely riveted...and watched 2, back to back..such clear and straightforward teaching, gorgeous to watch the shiny colours transforming under the brush...will definitely be returning to these when I start painting again! Thank you so much for these tutorials- and as someone said, no annoying, distracting background music!!!!
You are a terrific teacher....thank you so much! I have been taking workshops, attending demos and taking classes for 12 years and believe me when I say, I got more out of this ½ hour tutorial than all the others combined.
1: Cadmium Yellow 2: Burnt Umber 3: Alizerin Crimson (The other is hard to get unless you buy geneva color) 4: Titanium White 5: French Ultramarine Blue For Vibrant Colors: 6: Pthalo Blue (toxic color) 7: Cadmium Red Scarlet 8: Manganese Purple Additional Color I like: Love the color Cobalt Teal for an extra color, could mix it, but easier to buy it already mixed. Very useful for adding saturated color quickly to greens, blues, violets etc-
Pyrrole rubine is not hard to get, just need to look harder, however, do not use alizarin crimson because it is fugitive (fades with time), make sure you use a permanent substitute.
I have always been an average painter, I really do enjoy doing it. However I've always had the toughest time in matching colors. I've taken a few lessons over the years but no one ever explained color theory as easily to understand as you have. Thank you so much, I really look forward to incorporating this into my painting.
Wow, didn't even notice that this was a half hour until someone mentioned it in the comments! Just goes to show you how well your teaching skills kept my focus. Excellent lesson!
Wow, this painting video has really opened my mind up. This makes such logical sense. I am artistic but never understood proper art skills. Now about to learn. This video is clever in how it explains colour. Thank you so much.
This was the best explanation of color theory I’ve ever seen. I love how you didn’t just describe, but you walked us through as if we were doing it ourselves. Thanks for sharing!!
Mark, thank you for this video. It was great! It wasn’t until I had a bunch of tubes of common and obscure colors that I finally decided that I’ve got to develop the skill of mixing my own colors. Your video should be a “must see” for any artist who doesn’t want to end up with tubes of paint that they’ll rarely use. And your mixing cycle is straightforward. Thanks, again, for the lesson!!
Some things i learned about color theory is if you want to have a cohesive painting and have color harmony, then: 1.never use black or white to change a color's tone,(unless youre going for a certain look) 2. Every premade paint color (thats straight from the tube) has a temperature, ie: warm, cool or neutral. Even black and white. For example Mars black is slightly warm and Zinc white is cool. 3. Objects in the background of a painting look more hazy so adding a bit of a light gray to your colors will help with that. It will dull the saturation. 4. If you want certain colors to pop, paint them next to their opposite on the color wheel. 5.
This is what I have needed for 50 years. Thank you Sir. Thank you. If you came to Earth for this one reason. Know that your life has served a purpose!!!!! I'm so dang grateful😂
Fantastic. I'm new to painting and love learning, but my biggest frustration so far has been my inability to make the colors that I want. This is the best explanation I've seen yet! Looking forward to practicing this on paint swatches. Thank you!
Bless you for taking the fear out of colour mixing. You have a gift and what a privilege to see and follow your advice and techniques. Thank you, thank you.
I would just like to say thank you for what you do, not only have you broken some of the snobbery behind artists societies that want to impress the world but purposely scare monger the rest by painting fear porn propaganda , as a self taught artist i praise you for your achievements and "sticking it to the man". Also you extend your teaching skills to the rest of us that are still a little scared of trying, thank you for your kindness, wishing you much continued success .
I studied art in college. We spent a ton of time mixing colors...like two entire semesters were color mixing projects. We all got really good at it pretty quickly. I paint sets for my local school plays each year. I use interior, flat house paint and only get red, blue, yellow, white, and black. I paint all the sets with only those 4 colors. I can mix any color I need, just like what we see happening in this video. If anyone is painting a set and you want to use house paint from the local hardware store, you have to ask them to "mix" you up a custom gallon of individual pigments...that requires them to override the paint machines. If you just pull a red on the paint chip wall, it already has several colors mixed into it. So if you mix a red and a blue from the paint chip wall, you never know what you will end up with. You have to start with pure colors of paint with only one pigment in each. I really confused the employees at the store the first time I made this request. They are all used to me now and are pros at giving me what I need. This is also helpful info in you want to paint large, interior murals.
I actually used this method when I was mixing in front of my instructor and he was so impressed. He did not teach this and asked where did I learn it. I gave you the credit , so Thanks for sharing your knowledge.
I am one of those people who color theory is just a nightmare for. Finally you've explained it in a way I can understand. Thank you so much for this. I'm not even an oil painter and I've watched this video a few times. :)
You're a brilliant teacher Mark. - No frills, just solid knowledge. I bought your course about 12 years ago and watched it every night in bed, for a year. The way you teach colour matching, is gold. This is essential knowledge and you break it right down to utter simplicity. I find colour matching to be really easy, and can get an exact match. I put this down to what I learnt from you.
as someone who always has to teach and explain your strategy is SPOT ON. You explain and show the possible mistakes and the WHYS not just the HOWS, So many people only the teach the correct method. You need to see and understand the mistakes
Great instructions! I have painted with ready made colours in acrylics for years, but now I want to start with oil and have to decide on which palette to choose. I am very grateful for your instructions. Thank you for sharing!
Hi, I just wanted to say that this video helped me understand colour mixing so much, I've been really struggling with getting the right colours but today I used this methodology and was able to complete my first portrait, thank you! - Chloe
Brilliant video, in all my years of various learning experiences, I've never had colour mixing explained as clearly as this. And no black paint in sight, thank you 🙏🏼
How nice to see someone who really knows what he's doing...!! and as a bonus ,does not rattle away like a machine gun mis-pronouncing every word-but slowly & with deliberation- He really wants us to understand what he's saying !! &, as another bonus, no loud crazy music with drums-trying to obliterate the narration..Someone give this man a medal *
It’s so tempting to buy all those lovely colours at the art shop - I’ve been there and done that. I’m now mixing my colours with more thought and my paintings seem much more harmonious. It’s frustrating at first not being able to go straight to a colour (which is almost always wrong !) but I’m now determined to get those accurate colours by mixing. As Picasso said “ They can sell you a thousand greens but never quite the right green” - thank you for this wonderful insight into colour mixing 👍
I watched this the first time about 5 years ago now and think about it every single time I paint. I use it every time and it works every time. The key to painting a fantastic portrait is color matching and proportions. If you have those two, you’re solid and this video made a huge impact on my art. I recommend this to anyone and everyone trying to learn to paint with oils
By far, this has been one of the best videos on color mixing on here. Simple instructions and love that you say don’t worry if you do t get there right away. Keep working and you’ll get there. Definitely saved this video and will watch again. Thank you!!
Your three demonstrations have made it clear to me how you can change the saturation, without changing the value. I looked on youtube for 3 days to find this information clearly presented. Thank you very much. Cheers
Teach your students everything you know. It will squirrel around in their heads and come back to you even better... in ways your own brain could have never thought. Super lesson on mixing!!! THANKS
I paint cars at a collision repair shop. It is always such a pain in the neck when my color doesn't like correct from the formula I'm givin. Certain colors are easier than others to dial in. This helped my brain under stand color alittle better thank you sir.
Thank you so much for sharing!!! I feel I have grown stagnant in my art and paintings and one of the reasons why is my values are off! It's frustrating to look at my art and know something is wrong but being blind to how to fix it. This video opened up my eyes about things I once knew but slowly moved away from because I also do a lot of bright abstract art for fun but I want to improve my realistic portraits. I know now that I must go back to the basics and make sure to get my values right. I am so glad there are people like you who take the time to teach online. It is very helpful for me, I experience ADHD and tend to hyper focus on the wrong things and use too many colors. Videos like this are helpful for me to learn but also experience the freedom of switching between videos and pictures which helps me learn without becoming bored. I also love your video on over blending. Definitely a problem I have and want to also focus on breaking. I love wet on wrt portraits and know have some knowledge on how to improve mine while also gaining the confidence and trust to try new things. Thank you so much for sharing!
I've been painting for almost a decade and matching color has always been my biggest issue because I could never find such a clear tutorial of it. Thank you for this.
Amazing thank you. I am getting 'back' into painting and feel inspired. I have always been strong in Art but Colour mixing has always been my downfall. I just get frustrated, use too much paint, get muddy Colours and throw out the window. I will follow this. Thanks.
Sigh..........I wish I would have found you a year ago when I started painting..........this is amazing.......thank you so much for sharing your knowledge I have learned so much of off this one video 👍👍
I’ve been drawing and painting for over 40 years and color mixing was always a pain in my butt. This is the absolute best teaching I’ve ever heard on this subject. Thank you so much!
yes i got the color right on a little stukko wall after watching it.....exellent advice.. kinda like how i matched samples before... but i learned what lightens n what darkens n best ones to use. sure this will come in handy again....thanks n awesome lesson n advice
I watched a few of your videos and they are very informative and helpful. At first, I was really bored with the content, but I think its like anything you want to master, you have to first learn the fundamentals. Thanks so much for taking the time and offering these to people who are interested in painting! It is so much more useful than just watching someone paint!
it was the most useful video I've ever seen. The simplicity of the narration and the amount of examples are quite good for someone who has none. Thank you
Thank you for this video, it was extremely helpful. I've watched a few videos on how to mix colours before this but this was the best. You explained everything so well and it was easy to understand. I like that you included the colour wheel because the other videos I watched didn't do that. I actually managed to sit through this whole video lol. You're great at this, keep it up!
You have made something that seems so hard for instructors to teach, teachable. The very easy way about you really seems to put it in a slow easy way to see and understand finally what I need to learn. I so appreciate you. Thank you. You have a forever student.
I notice you don't use a pallet knife for mixing. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks for the great teaching videos. I'll be changing to Geneva soon.
Draw Mix Paint Gotcha. I'll have to get more brushes! Mark, what brands, types and size brushes would you recommend? (This may be on a vid I haven't seen yet.) Mongoose hair was recommended to me, and I have some of those, as well as some old bristles. By the way, I'm watching this one for a third time. I've been practicing along. It's fun!
As a landscape architect for 48 years, I have never had color balance explained in a simple system as you have plainly delineated in this video. Thanks for the time and effort to teach this color matching system as it applies to many different genera - all anchored by color.
+8chariotrider I've just always loved his work. Hyperrealism is impressive, but it's not my favorite style. I've always been drawn to Rockwell's "Shuffleton's Barber Shop". I think that's the right name. I love many more, but that's always the first one that jumps to mind.
This is the best and most defined explanation of a color mixing demonstration I have ever witnessed!!! Thank you!!! What a wonderful explanation and experience of learning how to “get there”. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This helped me understand why I need to go by a color wheel for the first time! I even had color theory class for printing degree in college years ago and didn't get it. It now makes more sense!!! THanks!!!
Thank you so much for this! So many tutorials on color theory and mixing and I’ve never had a good understanding of it all until now. Once an artist reaches the point where it becomes instinctual, they tend not to articulate the process in a way that’s understandable to a beginner

Notes I have written down so far... at 14:30
•VALUE should be your first priority!
•BLUE and BROWN will DARKEN a color.
•YELLOW and WHITE will LIGHTEN a color.
• If something looks GREY it really means it looks more BLUE.
• If somenthing looks BROWN it really means it looks more REDish or ORANGE.

Thanks Miseal. Very helpful.

@@eros2583 are* (mitochondria is plural for mitochondrion)
Misael Ortega you have no idea what color is. You can’t mix them all and get bright orange bright green or pink
And this is the only thing I needed to learn at art school and was never taught. Your free video just surpassed my $30k college tuition. Thanks a million.

You really are a good teacher, thank you.
Dorothy Siclare z
you are right, this is one of his very best videos. exceptionally lucid explanation.
Agreed, I've learned more about mixing from this video than from decades of lessons and tutorials and other teachers.
1: Cadmium Yellow
2: Burnt Umber
3: Alizerin Crimson (The other is hard to get unless you buy geneva color)
4: Titanium White
5: French Ultramarine Blue
For Vibrant Colors:
6: Pthalo Blue (toxic color)
7: Cadmium Red Scarlet
8: Manganese Purple
Additional Color I like: Love the color Cobalt Teal for an extra color, could mix it, but easier to buy it already mixed. Very useful for adding saturated color quickly to greens, blues, violets etc-
Pyrrole rubine is not hard to get, just need to look harder, however, do not use alizarin crimson because it is fugitive (fades with time), make sure you use a permanent substitute.

How nice to see someone who really knows what he's doing...!! and as a bonus ,does not rattle away like a machine gun mis-pronouncing every word-but slowly & with deliberation- He really wants us to understand what he's saying !! &, as another bonus, no loud crazy music with drums-trying to obliterate the narration..Someone give this man a medal *
It’s so tempting to buy all those lovely colours at the art shop - I’ve been there and done that. I’m now mixing my colours with more thought and my paintings seem much more harmonious. It’s frustrating at first not being able to go straight to a colour (which is almost always wrong !) but I’m now determined to get those accurate colours by mixing. As Picasso said “ They can sell you a thousand greens but never quite the right green” - thank you for this wonderful insight into colour mixing 👍
I learned more about painting with this video than in my whole life before it.
So... thank you!
I watched this the first time about 5 years ago now and think about it every single time I paint. I use it every time and it works every time. The key to painting a fantastic portrait is color matching and proportions. If you have those two, you’re solid and this video made a huge impact on my art. I recommend this to anyone and everyone trying to learn to paint with oils
This is a supper helpful video clip on basic color matching techniques and using Gray Scales or values.
Thank you, Lee
By far, this has been one of the best videos on color mixing on here. Simple instructions and love that you say don’t worry if you do t get there right away. Keep working and you’ll get there. Definitely saved this video and will watch again. Thank you!!
Excellent teacher, excellent explanation, friendly and great tone of voice to listen to. I learn heaps!
Your three demonstrations have made it clear to me how you can change the saturation, without changing the value. I looked on youtube for 3 days to find this information clearly presented. Thank you very much. Cheers
Tell us how.
You, sir, are my hero. Thanks for making this process clear, concise, and eminently followable!
Teach your students everything you know. It will squirrel around in their heads and come back to you even better... in ways your own brain could have never thought. Super lesson on mixing!!! THANKS
This is the most beautiful, informative and helpful video that I have ever seen. Thank you
I paint cars at a collision repair shop. It is always such a pain in the neck when my color doesn't like correct from the formula I'm givin. Certain colors are easier than others to dial in. This helped my brain under stand color alittle better thank you sir.
Best color mixing explanation I've ever heard, hands down. Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing!!! I feel I have grown stagnant in my art and paintings and one of the reasons why is my values are off! It's frustrating to look at my art and know something is wrong but being blind to how to fix it. This video opened up my eyes about things I once knew but slowly moved away from because I also do a lot of bright abstract art for fun but I want to improve my realistic portraits. I know now that I must go back to the basics and make sure to get my values right. I am so glad there are people like you who take the time to teach online. It is very helpful for me, I experience ADHD and tend to hyper focus on the wrong things and use too many colors. Videos like this are helpful for me to learn but also experience the freedom of switching between videos and pictures which helps me learn without becoming bored. I also love your video on over blending. Definitely a problem I have and want to also focus on breaking. I love wet on wrt portraits and know have some knowledge on how to improve mine while also gaining the confidence and trust to try new things. Thank you so much for sharing!
Wow, Thank you sir :)
I've tried alone and searched about how to mix the colors, your video is the best . I do love it thank you again and again
I've been painting for almost a decade and matching color has always been my biggest issue because I could never find such a clear tutorial of it. Thank you for this.
Very detailed and clear explanation of color mixing. Thank you!
Your method is so clear and easy to understand, more importantly, it works for me, help me so much! thanks a lot!
Amazing thank you. I am getting 'back' into painting and feel inspired. I have always been strong in Art but Colour mixing has always been my downfall. I just get frustrated, use too much paint, get muddy Colours and throw out the window. I will follow this. Thanks.
THIS SAVED ME A TON, I HAVE WATCHED THIS WAY BACK WHEN I STARTED OIL PAINTING! this lesson surely helps more than any other way on this app IMO 😂
Sigh..........I wish I would have found you a year ago when I started painting..........this is amazing.......thank you so much for sharing your knowledge I have learned so much of off this one video 👍👍
I’ve been drawing and painting for over 40 years and color mixing was always a pain in my butt. This is the absolute best teaching I’ve ever heard on this subject. Thank you so much!
yes i got the color right on a little stukko wall after watching it.....exellent advice.. kinda like how i matched samples before... but i learned what lightens n what darkens n best ones to use. sure this will come in handy again....thanks n awesome lesson n advice
I watched a few of your videos and they are very informative and helpful. At first, I was really bored with the content, but I think its like anything you want to master, you have to first learn the fundamentals. Thanks so much for taking the time and offering these to people who are interested in painting! It is so much more useful than just watching someone paint!
D Mp I
it was the most useful video I've ever seen. The simplicity of the narration and the amount of examples are quite good for someone who has none. Thank you
Thank you for this video, it was extremely helpful. I've watched a few videos on how to mix colours before this but this was the best. You explained everything so well and it was easy to understand. I like that you included the colour wheel because the other videos I watched didn't do that. I actually managed to sit through this whole video lol. You're great at this, keep it up!
yes the color wheel i think one of art teachers somewhere many,,many,,many ,,,moons ago taught me n i had forgoten.....lol
You have made something that seems so hard for instructors to teach, teachable. The very easy way about you really seems to put it in a slow easy way to see and understand finally what I need to learn. I so appreciate you.
Thank you. You have a forever student.
I am so grateful you share your knowledge in these videos. Thank you!
This is the number one video I have ever seen in all the years of watching and learning about art in the teaching about color.
I notice you don't use a pallet knife for mixing. What are your thoughts on this? Thanks for the great teaching videos. I'll be changing to Geneva soon.
+Sue Hamilton I find brushes are simply much quicker to use. I use many brushes at once and so I keep certain ones for certain color ranges.
Draw Mix Paint Gotcha. I'll have to get more brushes! Mark, what brands, types and size brushes would you recommend? (This may be on a vid I haven't seen yet.) Mongoose hair was recommended to me, and I have some of those, as well as some old bristles. By the way, I'm watching this one for a third time. I've been practicing along. It's fun!
So happy I bumped into this video...I almost think at times I'm colorblind but this method is like magic!!! Thank you for sharing!
Does it applies also on watercolor ?
This is awesome, big thanks!
As a landscape architect for 48 years, I have never had color balance explained in a simple system as you have plainly delineated in this video. Thanks for the time and effort to teach this color matching system as it applies to many different genera - all anchored by color.
You are always so generous, Sir! Thank you very much.
phenomenally generous
Thank you . I appreciate your instruction. This demonstration is by far the best I have seen without complicating things for a beginner like myself.
I've always loved the realism of Norman Rockwell's paintings. I especially love his portraits of JFK and Eisenhower. Are you a Rockwell fan?
+Wade Seaton He certainly knew how to paint great realism!
+8chariotrider I've just always loved his work. Hyperrealism is impressive, but it's not my favorite style. I've always been drawn to Rockwell's "Shuffleton's Barber Shop". I think that's the right name. I love many more, but that's always the first one that jumps to mind.
your artwork and teaching ability is overwhelming! Thank you for sharing your wisdom.
2:07 name of the essential colors
thanks
This is the best and most defined explanation of a color mixing demonstration I have ever witnessed!!! Thank you!!! What a wonderful explanation and experience of learning how to “get there”. Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thank you for this very informative video!! Exactly what I needed. The principles apply to acrylics too!
This is the best colors mixing tutorial that I have seen. I can do the exercices with confidence now.
Incredible video. Really clearly explained, relaxing to watch.
I have been taking private painting lessons for 6 years first time I have had it explained thanks so much
You are a great teacher I'v really never understood color as well as I did in ur video thank you
I need to watch this again. This is wonderful! I thank you sir for making a simplified approach to color mixing.
The best one explain the color, I completely understand it, thank u so much
This helped me understand why I need to go by a color wheel for the first time! I even had color theory class for printing degree in college years ago and didn't get it. It now makes more sense!!! THanks!!!
I keep commenting through out the years when I re-watch. Thank you so much prof. Mark.
"Even if you don't know what you're doing you can still get there." Thank Gods!
Thank you so much for this! So many tutorials on color theory and mixing and I’ve never had a good understanding of it all until now. Once an artist reaches the point where it becomes instinctual, they tend not to articulate the process in a way that’s understandable to a beginner
Thanks Mark, what a super chap you are for sharing your knowledge with us.
