    Love your repurposed palette tray! And those messy painter 👩‍🎨 hands!

    I do a lot of color exploring in my own sketchbooks but for some reason it is so enjoyable to watch another artist do it too! Love your channel and paintings.

    Hi Louise..I just discovered you since I started searching abstract artists. Yesterday I watched your interview with Jacqui Fehl and Sharon Hart and they struck a chord. I create alone and do not have a "tribe" in the art world. You did a great job interviewing/conversing with both women.Thanks

    Thanks, Louise! I mixed some colors over the weekend and it was fun.

    Love this exercise. I just did the one on greens mentioned in one of your other videos. Loving where these colour watching is taking
    me as well. I have done with orange and will be trying with different shades with different reds, blues etc! I am using paint tubes that I have had for years and figured better use them then they go dry lol. Thank you so much. I will be gessoing some large sheet for further exercise!

    Another great color-mixing exercise! I'm going to try this one, too. I'm a beginner, and I find these tutorials so helpful. Thank you!

    I was doing all of these experiments but could never manage to keep it all in one place so I could refer back to it. So I bought a notebook and a bunch of plastic sleeves that are used for storing baseball cards. Then I cut a whole bunch of paper to fit the slots and just started creating all sorts of colors. I try to keep it basically organized by color family. It's was a great way to find new colors, but most importantly, I have a book now that I can put my hands on when I just can't figure out what color I need. Now if I could just take all those colors and create the type of beautiful abstracts like you do I'd be even happier! LOL.... Cheers!

    Another exploration of "what ifs." starting a new series, so it might be a great time to pull out those dusty tubes and pots and do some excavating!

    Great tip! Thanks xx I find it very soothing to sit and mix different colours if I don’t want to do a ‘proper’ painting, but love the idea of using 3 colours you don’t normally use plus black and white 🥰

    • @ThisPaintingLife
      @ThisPaintingLife  4 года назад +1

      Yes it brings up some real surprises as well as some 'yuk' moments x

  • @heatherstubbs6646
    @heatherstubbs6646 3 года назад

    This is a brilliant idea! I sometimes struggle to remember what I used to create a certain colour, especially the greens. A sketchbook dedicated to colour combinations is definitely in my near future. Thank you!

    How do you make the palette you are using? Do you use it when you are painting also? So much room! What do you do with left over paint you want to save?

  • @tinycuisine6544
    @tinycuisine6544 2 года назад

    Great as usual🙂 would you be able to recreate each color after so much mixing? I assume yes, otherwise you probably wouldn't be going through the trouble. Thanks Louise!

    Probably worth noting the make of the paint as colours vary a great deal eg, Liqitexpaynes grey

    Truth to tell, I hate intentional swatching, for me it is a waste of creative juice. It's always a mess & I never use the ones I do anyway. I just pick a set of colors when I sit down to paint and see what happens from there. Having a great sense of color harmony is what brought me to painting in the first place, after all :).

      @@ThisPaintingLife Whoops, I didn't mean to dismiss the technique, I was just sharing. It is a really good way to learn color mixing, for sure! Did not mean to sound superior to the technique, even though it reads like that.

    why I buy a new color (I'm still filling my stash), I make a long strips with heavy paper and do color and value tests with it and any colors I think I might use for mixing. Like when I got my Viriden Green, I did test strips with mixes with yellow ocher, cad yell med, cad yell light, ultra marine, etc., also using black and white for values. Then I punch a hole at the top of each and string onto a piece of yarn with the previous test strips.

    This is really helpful! Thank you! Do you have a hard time recreating the colors if you want to use them at a later date?

    • @ThisPaintingLife
      @ThisPaintingLife  3 года назад +1

      Not at all - limited palettes mean you can always recreate anything

  • @rebeccaschmidt7431

      I use Mars black but I can't say I've really tried others

    Whoops. Liqitex paynes grey is totally different from Sennelier paynes grey so worth noting the make on the swatches.
