    I love mixing colors! I mix (usually) directly on the canvas, and make beautiful one of a kind neutrals because I use many colors in my paintings. Using Titanium, Antique, and Zinc whites even makes more choices of neutrals. Have a blessed day and keep painting!🎨🖌

    Hi David, I’m a Artist from Australia (lisafrancesjudd.com.au). I have enjoyed your simple explanation of colours, values, contrasts etc. and have learnt from you so thank you for your generosity in sharing knowledge with those of us who did not go to art school. In my early Painting years I did exactly what you described, using colours from the tube most often. I have learnt a lot about colour through trial and error and am still continually learning more and developing my paintings.

    Thanks so much David! I didnt know this, so your video was very helpful! Why is it that when you mix grey (or other colors) it looks more alive than when you take it from the tube. I still have no idea…..! Do you know why that is?

    • @davidm.kesslerfineart1717
      @davidm.kesslerfineart1717  4 года назад +1

      Ellen, you have the richness of multiple colors mixing together, rather than a single color (out of the tube). I usually try not to mix them too much, laving small bits of each color showing through which enhances the richness.

    Thank you. I think you neutralize by using complemantary while adding white as well not to get a shade (or black)?

    Is there a final coating that can be used for textured oil painting? To preserve the painting for years to come? Or would you just let it be

      @davidm.kesslerfineart1717  6 лет назад

      madrid Hamma neutral colors can be used as a contrast to more vivid colors. The mor intense colors may be used to create your centers of interest, while the neutral colors may be used to create areas of rest.

    Neutralize.. is like toning but with complementary color right

    • @davidm.kesslerfineart1717
      @davidm.kesslerfineart1717  4 года назад

      I’m not sure what the definition of toning is. Neutralize means to decrease the intensity of the color and move it more toward gray. I thought the demo would be self explanatory.

      I assume you mean can you cover a canvas with acrylic gesso then paint over it with oil paint. Of course -you just can’t do the opposite.
