Hi there, Liron here! Today I want to solve the "green skies syndrome" for you, an issue that plagues many aspiring painters!
This is usually caused by attempting to mimic the colors you see, and ending up using strong blues and strong yellows.
Then they mix on paper (or on the palette) and you get a really garish green that looks aweful.
Here are my 3 solutions:
1 - Mute everything!
2 - Use water as a "buffer"
3 - Use opaque paint as a "buffer"
I hope you find this quick vid helpful 😊🙏🏼
If so, be sure to check out my courses above if you haven't!
Thank you,
- Liron

    Great tips and insights. I usually test my colours on scrap paper first, because not all blue+yellow paints will give a green surprise! The other thing I do is to not let them mix, so that means having dry paper barrier or tape or something. Then wait for for first layer to dry completely before painting next colour. Once both are fully dry, a damp brush can then gently blend across the gap. Mind you, don't take my word for it, I'm just experimenting...

    I like using W&N Naples yellow for skies. It doesn't mix green very well with cobalt blue or ultramarine, it does with cerulean and phthalo blue though.

    Liron, thanks for posting all your tips. I've using them and have been practicing with the portrait lessons using just the silhouette but instead of black, I'm using a color. They have been turning out very well. Thanks again!

    Your method works really well for loose expressive paintings. I've use paynes gray with yellow ochre for stormy skies and get no green. When I'm painting a tighter style I'll paint the sky to be a fresh sky with a mix of warm, cool blues, maybe a light addition of a violet or coral at the horizon, or will follow the bead of water with the blues tones all the way to the bottom and fade out with water. Let dry fully. Then start second layer. Here are thousands of ways to get a sky.......It does take practice!

    I've also used a tiny amount of yellow ochre and it stops that green effect. Yellow ochre is also a good buffer between green and red to prevent greying

    Naples Yellow from W&N, and Turner, is great for skies, it does not contain any yellow pigment.

    Does temperature equal value? I'm still trying to understand that. Thanks.

  • @LironYan

    Nope! Value is a scale that goes from dark to light (the simplest example would be a white to black scale, with all grays in the middle). Temperature is an objective scale containing all colors (aka blue, red, yellow, purple, green, including different iterations of each color) - going from the warmest color possible - to the coolest. Values & temperature are (kind of) mutually exclusive (: I will film a vid on the topic soon, because I understand the source of confusion.

    What if you really want to capture that saturated blue and yellow of a gorgeously vivid sunset? I’m at a beach in FL and the sky at yesterday’s sunset was almost a pure cyan transiting into a pure yellow then orange.

    I bet you it wasn’t pure cyan & pure orange 😉 They can seem misleadingly pure, but if anything they MAY be bright (a completely different topic for a different video), and also LIGHT (aka contrast with dark values in the context of the painting. You’d be hard pressed to find a truly pure and bright orange or blue. You know where you would find them? In orange worker vests and blue road signs (:

    You can a nice effect with blue->rose->yellow which will also give you a little violet and orange
