What a fantastic presentation. Bravo
Thank you for taking the shark out of the water that I was swimming in, in coloring I was eaten alive by the sharks that were in the mix, it was a great😢 relief to get this understanding, and guarantee you that I'll reach the shore all in one piece. thank you again.
This video is a real eye opener for me. My frustration has always been color mixing. I painted along with you & saw for myself what I’ve been missing. This video is so valuable. Bless you both for your hard work! You are simply the BEST!!!! ❤❤❤❤❤

Thiiiisss lady knows so much!!!!! I’m blown away. Wow.
I watched this lesson because I was not getting pretty colors, especially greens. I have a color wheel but am making some charts from your examples. This should be a must for every new painter. It has really helped me.
Great job! I finally came a cross a book many years ago that explained color bias in pigments. It's amazing how many books on color mixing never mention this very essential fact. One idea that might make your explanation easier to under stand is to point out that when 2 colors are mixed and one of both have complements in the mix the resulting color is muddier than may be intended. Ex.: Ultra Marine blue (red blue) & Cad. Red light. (orange red) That orange is the complement of blue and is what kills the color mixture right off. Thank you for all your great videos!

Thank you for sharing this video. I am a new artist (acrylic painting). I've been painting in pastel for 4 years and thought I'd try something different but I was running into trouble -- now I see WHY. Thank you SO much for helping me to understand colors and mixing. I love to paint red rock scenery (like Sedona) and I would love to know how to get the many different kinds of reds and oranges you see in the southwest. Like a purple-kind of orange, a bronzey-kind of orange, etc. (sorry for the spelling, had to guess on that one - lol). Question: Your Cad Red color that you use -- is that a cad red medium? Also, can you recommend a good brand of extender for acrylic paint? I live in Southern California and my acrylic paint dries up SO fast! It is crazy. Thank you.
Wow, thats why I’m struggling , thank you Both
i have been a member for a while just been absent , husband ill, i had time and wanted to get back into painting again, i love you guys so much you have taught me so much , thank you both ,
I love the mint green phalo green and white make.
Many years I read on the topic, first time I really understood it. Big thanks!
Thank you for this. I think Liquitex has both an ultramarine blue with red shade and an ultramarine with green shade.
Thank you so much for all the work that goes into making a video like this. We appreciate it and we know and see it. 🤟💜🎨
I've watched this twice now because it is so incredibly helpful! Thank you!

Thank you! I am not a visual artist, and knew paints and light worked completely differently, and you explained it so well. Don't apologize for being academic! Information is wonderful!! Thanks!!!
Thank You so much! I have just begun with pastel pencils and soft pastels! So I have no knowledge of Painting? Thanks for showing me what i am getting myself into! You explained it so well that I actually enjoyed learning it! Thank you!!!!!!!

Well what learned in school definitely is a lot different than why we learn as artist. In school they didn’t think about the artist tubes of paint in school all those primary colors are basically had something to do with the color spectrum of the rainbow not tubes of paint lol
Excellent lesson! Thank you!!❤❤

I feel embarrassed because I had every yellow except lemon yellow and hanza yellow, so had to order and got Sennelier's lemon yellow Hansa , plus I had yellow oxide instead of yellow ochre, so I also ordered that in Sennelier...( your Amazon page was out of them so I got them at Jerry's!) So when they come in I will paint over the wrong colors in yellow! Even so, I don't think I have ever had a class so well informative...especially on the bias of yellow and green! You taught me things I never even thought about before but now I know and will follow my color wheel to the max. I also did the class on tints, tones and shades which was equally as important as this one! Color is so important to me and I am determined to do this! A million thank you's Cinnamon because you care!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. awesome so helpful 💓

I wish I would have known this when I was still working. I spent a lot of money and time because of my ignorance. However, in my defense, in all of the art related continuing education I was involved in, THIS never came up. Color wheels - yes, but never THIS. ARG!!!! Going forward as a beginning canvas painter, now I know :

This is extremely helpful! I'm wanting to start with Liquitex basic acrylics. I can't find all the exact colors you recommend and I'm a little bit confused. Which colors would you recommend from liquitex basics?
You explaine the color bias so well. Many people believe that the primary ADDITIVE colors are Cadmium Red Light, Ultramarine Blue , and Hansa yellow medium. And the SUBTRACTIVE are Magenta, ( with a touch of blue in it>). Cyan (touch of green) , and yellow. Also Cyan makes a stronger green. And Ultramarine a stronger Violet. About 10 years ago I came across a book called " Blue and Green Do'nt make Green." By MICHAEL WILCOX. a color theorist. According to Wilcox. there are no PRIMARY colors. Because there is no paint as yet that are pure in color. The book as illustrations on how the reflected light reflect or absorbs a give n color. He suggested that only 6 colors are necessary to mix all the others. From then on I tested his theory and glad to tell you that I no longer use all the colors I used before. I thank you for your video.

If you love color theory and you seem to , be sure and add Bob Blast and The Color Nerd to your creators to check out. I am not sending you away I just think you might really enjoy them and also Cesar Cordova does some really epic color dives. Wilcox is a great tip for anyone reading your comment!
IS THERE A COLOR THEORY BOOK AND POSTER YOU COULD RECOMMEND FOR US? Thank you so much for this video! P.S. I enjoy when you get academic with us😁
I only paint whit liquitex basics. I wanna try the 12-piece set and i wanna try the iridesent colour set also from liquitex too🖐🏾👍🏾👏🏾 i don,t know if these sets are good for beginners or for colour mixing. I love youre explanation of the paint colours

Sounds like your paint separated. You can try mixing it within the tube by squeezing it around or write to Sennelier for a new tube if it won't remix 💜
QUESTION: Golden sells in tubes, and in little bottles what's the difference??? Which one do I need to work on your projects? Michaels also sells Winsor & Newton what are your thoughts on that brand
Don’t apologize for being academic! 1) you can’t break the rules if you don’t know them and 2) I crave the theory and the WHY of painting. It makes it sooo much easier for me

Great video demo - but I use simply red, blue and yellow.for my own taste considering that everyone views colors differently.
this is just fantastic information. thank you cinnamon, you are such a great fount of knowledge. you amaze me. I use sennelier abstract paint and I've been looking for phthalo green and lemon yellow hansa in these brands. do they actually make thes colours or do they call them something else? I always try to see if I can see the pigment number but I'm never sure if it's the right ones for those colours. hope you can help me. thank you again for being such a great tutor ♥️

YES the color you want with them is Cadmium Yellow Lemon Hue , and they have Phthalo Green too. My art store will be open by Mid week and we have both colors in stock store.theartsherpa.com/
Thank you. This was so informative. I have 5 of your recommended colors in Golden Artist Colors. But Can Cadmium Red Medium be substituted for Naphthol Red Medium? Also, can I use Hansa Yellow Medium and C.P. Cadmium Yellow Light for my yellows instead of Cadmium Yellow Medium and Hansa Lemon Yellow?

i can't afford expensive paints and i have trouble getting the brightness, out of them , what do you suggest? like before when i tried to pain along, it was acrylic april i was doing the lady bug and i could not get the bright red, out of my paint, and i was using liquitex basics acrylic, and cad red or there version,
Now for sure I will get Winsor Ultramarine green shade and Winsor blue, I guess it is red shade. The set comes with Winsor yellow, I think that is warm So, I need a cool yellow? I think Winsor green is yellow shade so how do I check the bias?
So, so, so very happy to see Lemon Yellow replacing Titanate Yellow. I could not find it anywhere and the subs for Titanate Yellow just didn't work for me. So excited.
