@@Athenapaints this is a great place to start! Just mix up some swatches like this and dip in with your brush as required! Good luck - let us know how it goes!
Information is very good but I wanna know from where I can get this color pallet because it is nice desaturated grey colour which is very hepfull for value judgement 🙏
Hi! That pallette was designed with exactly that in mind... and the best bit, is that you can make it yourself for very little money! It is the glass bottom of an old corner tv stand, and I used grey spray primer to paint the underside. From the top, this gives a wonderfully hard wearing and scratch resistant neutral surface to mix on!
@@palnagok1720 definitely try it! There are so many possibilities - use artist quality paints though as the student quality ones have less pigment and more filler which can be disappointing; the earth pigments are all series one so cheap enough whichever brand you buy!
Hi! It is titanium white - very reliable and cheap. For portraiture, you might try zinc white, but in the demo it is plain old titanium white. Get a decent one though - artist quality is a good idea; The pigment is not expensive, but as a rule the student ranges can go cheap on pigment and push the percentage of filler... this is artist quality titanium white - still only about 5 bucks a tube!
I bought burnt umber but a different brand?? and I put the same amount both white and both are completely different colours. One of them is a nice skin tone similar to urs but another one (recently I bought it) is dull grey-like wtf??
I think the issue is the quality of the paint... I use "artist quality" paint, which means that there is more pigment, and less filler in the paint than student quality ranges - I'm guessing your burnt umber is a student quality paint... the lack of pigment can result in really washed out colours in mixes, and I think that's what you are seeing. Artist quality really isn't that much of an increase in price from the student quality so it is worth investing in just one or two tubes to try them out! I recommend burnt sienna, and burnt umber - they will always be series 1 (so the cheapest ones in the AQ range) and will work perfectly with your other paints anyway! Let us know if that makes a difference! :)
Hey Grace! Sure - these are both Michael Harding paints - artist quality, but worth every penny! The colours are Burnt Umber (no.126), and Transparent Oxide Brown (no.224). Thanks for watching! 😊
@@mythribg3349 Try mixing a little burnt sienna into the burnt umber to warm it up a bit... that should give you a close starting colour - although not transparent. I can't think of a one tube alternative to the transparent oxide brown, but mixing will get your base colour close to where you need it to be! Thanks for watching!
That is a great question! I'll let you in to a secret... all skin tones are based on brown. The trans oxide brown can easily be modified with a little red and white for lighter complexions. Now, for a one tube equivalent, there are a few companies that make a base "Flesh tint" that operates in the same way as you see here. Thanks for watching!
There are hundreds of mixes for skin tones, but in truth, they are ALL based on a kind of orangey brown... These are just two out of the tube options for darker skin tones... for another super easy way to achieve some very convincing skin tones, try this: ruclips.net/user/shortsbgOCfTyRGYs
Well this looks so much easier than making skin tones from all the primaries
If only I had this type of brown
@@lTrustedStrawhatI think you can get it online

I was thinking ,you could get a lot easy mixes from all the transparent metal oxides, yellow, orange, red , brown.

can adding yellow make the burnt umber warmer? how how else🤔
not yellow so much... you need a deep red - try a little burnt sienna
@@DafyddTimothyyou’re a savior I hope your pillow is cold at night 😢❤❤❤
Is there a similar color to the transparent oxide in acrylic paint?
For sure you can get this colour in acrylic, but I'm not sure how it mixes I'm afraid... if you give it a go, let us know!
What was the name of the white you’re mixing into the browns?
Hi! It is titanium white - very reliable and cheap. For portraiture, you might try zinc white, but in the demo it is plain old titanium white.

Besides titanium white, lead white is even warmer

What the right side one called? I’m hearing transparent choc side brown idk what I’m hearing lol
@@JustBeYouooh it's transparent oxide brown - an amazingly useful colour for loads of things, but this is it's power play!
Hi! Could you share the brand and the color nr?
Hey Grace! Sure - these are both Michael Harding paints - artist quality, but worth every penny! The colours are Burnt Umber (no.126), and Transparent Oxide Brown (no.224). Thanks for watching! 😊
@@DafyddTimothy thank you so much! I will look into this :)
@@DafyddTimothy I’m going to look into these too, the colors are gorgeous! 🎨
Can we use burnt sienna instead of transparent oxide brown?
Hi! Great question, but no. Burnt sienna is a great colour, and is basically the same pigment, but the transparency is the key
@@DafyddTimothy okay! Can you please suggest an alternative to transparent oxide brown? (There’s availability issues where I live)

What about lighter skin tones?

I don't mean to sound critical, but it's right there in the video. See what happens when Dafydd mixes white into the browns? 😅
So you can only use them two colors for skin tones 🤔
There are hundreds of mixes for skin tones, but in truth, they are ALL based on a kind of orangey brown... These are just two out of the tube options for darker skin tones... for another super easy way to achieve some very convincing skin tones, try this: ruclips.net/user/shortsbgOCfTyRGYs
Why am stressed for trying to start with primary colors.lol
