I keep several squirt bottles of white mixes handy (a marble in each bottle helps with thorough mixing). One bottle is Nick's beautiful Lyla's. One is Payne's gray with titanium white, which is gorgeous, and I am still experimenting with a pale robin's egg blue combination, if anyone has suggestions.

Every thing you share is worth it’s weight in gold as far as I’m concerned, thank you!

Absolutely amazing 😉

I had not thought much about whites until this video, which I found this very useful as an older 'emerging' artist. I can't wait to mix up Lyla's White and play around with whites which using some of the colours in my artworks.

Thank you for the mixed white!

Thankyou for this recipe. I've been trying to create a good creamy white.

Thank you Nick you are so amazingly generous with your teaching and ideas, I really appreciate all that you offer.

Hola Nick. Estoy viendo desde hace muy pocos días tus videos. Agradezco mucho tu generosidad para compartir tus experiencias y conocimientos.He aprendido mucho con ellos.Me encantó este blanco. ¡Muchísimas gracias!!

I've just mixed my own, with the addition of some flexible modeling paste and an iridescent medium. Looks posh!

Love uses of iridescent mediums. Ever use interference violet by golden. Any shares or tips???

You're such an awesome teacher and artist. Ty for sharing your knowledge

That is good to know thank you Nick

I have mixed whites but mainly for fluidity. To tone down the brightness I spray an instant coffee mix into Titanium white, acrylics of course. Walnut ink works too. Sometimes i mix white acrylic artists ink w thicker open acrylic white, a craft vanilla is fun to add to that...

Nice it reminded me of a commission I once got for a wedding. It had to be a painting in White - and I really enjoyed to make it playing with subtle tonalities intuitively. But at that time I was not quite aware of all you show here - and its really fun to see your videos.

Love that creamy white!

You help my brain to think differently, thanks.

I agree with all you said-- the white is like no other color in the pieces-- it also needs to have balance and harmony with the other colors in the piece. Great idea to mix all the colors and add just a hint of it to the white- amazing how it makes a difference.

Wow! Awesome white.

*Just spent the entire day watching most of your videos. Very inspirational. Thank you.* 2 things I would love if you could discuss: 1) How you decide which underpainting sections to mask around (keep) with the (usually white) overcoat and how you decide what to shape use. Also, do you envision the final overcoat design beforehand? How do you keep the interesting masked around areas balanced across the entire painting? 2) If you could go over small paintings like this occasionally and show what you would do to make them better. Thank you ahead of time!

Love this concept for white. Have done with black but like you said you really can’t see it.

That white is a very useful tip --as I am trying to do a white painting. Much obliged!

Loved this vidio Nicholas such helpful advice on colour mixing and effects of harmonising thankyou

Thank you!!👍

Great mix! Thanks Nick. In oil, Iv'e been using the cad yellow light with a touch of raw umber. Turns the yellow a bit too gray. The opposing side, I use tiny bit of Paynes Gray & Ultramarine Blue. Because ultramarine is the closes blue to the richness of a cad. But now you got me thinking about replacing Paynes with Sap Green. When viewing the pixels of Adobe colors, you can kind of see how the pixels effect each other laying beside or translucent on top of each other. Instead of always grabbing white to lighten, lately I have been grabbing cad yellow light for rich light browns. A tiny bit of cheap orange cad instead of expensive orange cad serves to tone it down. Strange how you can make cheap paint play with expensive.

Thanks for sharing!

Great color! Thank you 😊

I see a book in Nick's future and I can't wait!!😊

Love this tip! Thank you! ❤

I really loved this one, thanks for sharing so many tips!

Thank you for this video!! Love the white color!!

You’re wonderful. ... so generous with such good info. And love your sensibility.

I am really appreciating all your great advice and....I love your work!!!

Exactly what I needed to see as I break from painting. Can’t wait to try it!

Nice colour!🙏

Thanks Nicholas, i learn a lot from you!

Thank you!

I have been having trouble integrating white into my paintings. I look forward to trying your mix. Thanks again!

So precious! I love this video. Thank you, Nick.

Thank you for the info on your white. I have been watching your videos for awhile and have been wondering which pigments you used. So helpful!

Have a great time.

Wow, thank you so much. I learned a lot from your blending technique. Something to experiment with.

I'm going to give this a try

very useful!

'Wilton White' it should be called!! Thank you, Denise

Thank you! I have been missing this white and not knowing how to achieve it. Could you also do light turquoise please? I’m trying to find a very light non muddy turquoise! Thank you 😊

Thanks. I’ve been staring at 3 new paintings , unfinished, wondering what I will do with the white background. I wanted the white expansion of space but they look unfinished.now I can think in a new way/

Hi there. I just mixed paint your way. It was deep and beautiful. I ran out on the picture. Well I screwed up. I needed more. How do you repeat same colors.

It is NOT "A COLOUR"...it is the "perfect"(if that is possible) combination of the 6 COLOURS(aka:hues)found in a rainbow The proof?...: if you were able to shine "pure white light" through a prism, you would see: Red,Orange,Yellow,Green, Blue,Violet(aka the rainbow colours). In theory, if you were to reverse this experiment by shining Red,Orange,Yellow,Green, Blue,Violet-coloured light back through that same prism, they would blend to make "White Light".Sincerely, David W. Jones, visual artist/painter/art instructor since 1983.

I'm curious - do you paint a part of your studio wall different colours for your videos, or do you repaint your studio regularly?

thank you for your videos!, i like them!,, i have a doubt, what do you use for mixing acrylic colors? paper on metal?, thanks!!, regards

What's the title of the book you're giving away and the author?

How to find where you are (live) and your livesteam video is. Natty potter

I have no idea where I am and what changel I should be on and have you heard about people doing arts with using words and pictures. Natty potter

So a question: I can do for a painting, make mude of all the colours I used and then ad a little in white? Do you do that too? Or is this not done?

🙏🙏🙏
