Hi GAS, very nice video, thank you! I was on YT searching for a video that mixed Dioxazine Purple with Phthalo Green, to get a mixed blue, because I'm very interested in the idea of a limited palette without blue in it, but being able to mix a "good" blue still. I love blues, but i found myself disliking the paintings that i had really saturated blues, and also I didn't care for having to mix green from blue + yellow. So, my "first step" palette was based on the Zorn palette and I chose: T. White + Yellow Oxide + Pyrole Red + Carbon Black (all opaque colors). So, after much consideration, I added to that just 3 transparent colors: Transparent Oxide Red, Phthalo Green (Yellow Shade) and Dioxazine Purple. I decided on that combo of 5 colors, plus black and white, and I'm looking forward on using this palette and mixing my own blues, ranging from really green to really violet. If you have any thoughts about my strategy, please share, i'll be glad to hear. Thank you again.
Hi Renato I think your palette is good. Zorn when painting landscapes would also use more colours than the palette he is famous for. The palette you list is the palette he used for painting portraits. Phthalo green (yellow shade) mixed with Dioxazine Purple will give you some subtle blues. If I was using your palette I would add a blue to it so that I could increase the saturation of the subtle blue if I needed to. thanks for contacting me.
Thank you Ian, for another enlightening video, can you please do one on grays i can't seem to stop my grays looking blue no matter which black i use. best wished Keep safe Carole
Isn't colour wonderful, lately I've been drawn to blue apparently it's a healing colour... Cezanne quote colour is the place where our brain meets the universe... I don't know if he actually said this but it's true . I love colour when I was in your class I wasn't brave enough to paint but I did in other classes and at home, thankyou for another great enjoyable tutorial...
Thanks for that Cezanne quote Sam. I suppose as colour is light Cezanne was right. It does not surprise me to hear about the healing properties of blue as it is a calm and relaxing colour since it is the colour we associate with the sky.
Thanks again Ian for another fabulous video.
Great help.xxjo
