great video. something to remember when mixing, keep in mind what kind of light you are mixing in vs what kind of light there will be when the finished painting will be hung. daylight, fluorescent, LED light and regular iridescent light will change the appearance of a color. also, knowing how paint dries darker, when trying to match your mix to a color swatch, using a hair dryer to quick dry a dot of your color mix on the swatch will save time on over-mixing if you accidently add to much of one-color tint. less corrections will save time.

There's a reason that paint and pinot (or whatever paint night you go to) instructors only use the primarys with black and white. Okay, the most obvious is that it's cheap. But what I was getting at is by combining those colors, you can make any color you like. However, black is very dominant, so use less than you think you should. Also (and maybe you should do a color mixing video), black is not just "black". There's blue-black, green-black, purple-black, and even yellow black. Even in shadow, unless it's a black object in shadow and then it's still questionable, blacks aren't actually all black. If you mix a warm black (on the yellow/red side) into a cool painting (towards the blue side of the color wheel), you may not be able to put your finger on what's off, but your eye will see it to tell you it's off. Jet black is as close to "pure" black as you'll get. I suggest to my students to paint a single line of black on white paper. Drag it all the way down until there's no paint left. Check the middle to end color and you'll see whether it's on the yellow side or the blue. For instance, if you've ever painted with Payne's grey, the mid range is blue. Black comes in charcoal (which is blue), Ebony is actually a grey/olive green, and the list goes on from greens (which is usually what cake icing is and why your poop ends up green if you eat it) to yellows to reds ... Black is never just black. Same with white. Titanium is what most folks use because that's the purest. But go to a paint store and look at the chips. White is also not white unless you get titanium.

Is there anything that can change the colour which is a darkish charcoal. I put 2 coats on a white piece of paper & once dried is a very dark charcoal muddy colour if that makes sense.

I want to make a simple tan or beige colour out of my white. Everytime I add a little brown to it, I get a light brown but it always has a slight pink to it. What I learned from the google machine is to simply add a little yellow to it with the brown. Now I am not looking for an exact colour to match another one. I simply want to tint my white to a very light tan or beige. What do you think? Would adding a yellow to it work? Normally I would just try doing it, but I need about 16 oz. of it.

I would mix it up on some wax paper so you can spread it out and see the color you are making. Honestly, my favorite video about this is from Chris Breier - kzread.info/dash/bejne/h2esrMOsdtq9g8o.html

Why the 2 separate blues? Do you need both pthalo and ultramarine blue?

There are some really bright purples that mix better with each one. That's because one tents toward green and one tends toward red.

I’m so horrible at mixing colors. It took me 31 attempts to get a version of teal. I want it to be easier. So just wondering, is there an app out there that takes a Hex Color and converts it to an acrylic color?

How do I eliminate almost any cells?😊

Keep your paint thicker. Use a medium that doesn't naturally cell like Elmer's Glue All or Liquitex Pouring Medium.

Actually, there are 5 important colors: Red, Yellow, Blue, White and, what I’m mentioning: BLACK.

Having a separate black can make it easier for many people. However, you can make black out of cyan, magenta, and yellow and then tailor. Doing it this way you can also make lots of different types of black with different color biases for the perfect color (think Paynes Grey or Dioxozine purple type deep colors that are almost black)

LOL. I thought you said fed up version, not sped up version.

😂😃 It can be that sometimes too.

The primary colors are magenta, cyan, and yellow. Do not buy red blue and yellow paint You will get muddy dull colors. If you don't believe me that those are the primary colors and you still believe the lie about red blue and yellow What do printers take? How do printers make red when they do not contain red? Because red is not a primary color It is a mixture of magenta and yellow.

Yup. Took me longer than I care to admit to really internalize that.

Dang it went so fast I couldn’t see what color you were adding. I backed up several times. NO HELP FOR ME 🤷‍♀️ I have learned so much from you, so disappointed 🤷‍♀️

In the bottom right on desktop or top right on mobile you can select the gear icon and change the speed of the video down to .75 or .5 to watch it in slower motion.
