Color Mixing with a Limited Palette

Color is critical to my art practice and I spent years experimenting with color. I have found I can create any color I'm after using a limited palette of 11 oil paint tube colors I call my Essential 11 - a palette I talked about in a previous video, link below. In this video I demo how to mix a number of common colors - French Ultramarine Blue, Aqua, Indian Yellow, Payne's Gray to name a few - using this curated palette. What colors are part of your palette? Do you use paint right out of the tube or do you mix? Or both? I'd love to hear from you. Thanks for watching! #colormixing #oilpainting #abstractpainting

    Have you ever watched a cooking demonstration and how the chef handles the food so beautifully. I felt the same way as you mixing the paint with love. Thank you.

    Thank you for such a clear layout of your palette of Gamblin oils! I am planning on getting my first batch of Gamblin's this Black Friday (and thanks to you, I have a much better vision for what colors to order), and I am wondering: could you please elaborate on these colors' texture properties? They do not appear to be stringy or long... but that is all I can tell, visually, in watching this video. Are most Gambin colors waxy, slightly gelatinous, chalky, pasty, sometimes runny, oily, slippery, or sticky? Particularly transparent and semi-transparent colors (like your Diox. Violet or Viridian, or their phthalos and quins). Is the texture consistent across all colors in Gamblin's line, or do they reflect the individual tendency of each pigment? Also, do you have any experience with white haze film forming at the top layer of paintings when using any of Gamblin's colors? Thank you very much, in advance, for any insight you can offer!

    I'm so glad this was helpful to you! So... the best way to get detailed answers to your questions about the texture and transparency of various colors is to contact Gamblin to schedule a phone or video consultation. They are extremely helpful and informative about all products they sell... and it's a free consult! Here is the link: gamblincolors.com/contact/ What I can share here is that Cadmium colors are dense, Quinacridone colors are strong and somewhat transparent, Cobalt colors are also dense (Cobalt Blue and Cobalt Turquoise) and Prussian Blue and Dioxazine Purple are very intense colors.

    @@mariannemitchellwholeartis9922 Thank you very much! How excellent of Gamblin to be so open to communicating about the details of their products. I have found most companies are quite cagey about, well, anything, regarding the contents and behavior of their paints. I will contact them, then, when they return from their holiday break. Hoping you had a restful Thanksgiving weekend :)
