    Using your limited palette taught me so much. It makes painting such a pleasure. I love the color mixing process. Now that I've used this method for a few years, it takes me much less time to get the color right. I also know instinctively when I do need a touch of veridian or magenta. I am so glad I discovered your site.

    Thanks a lot Mr. Carder! Your videos help me to improve my skills. I have two questions. Unlike you, I prefer to mix most of the colors during the painting process. For example there are only a few colors prepared on my palette for painting an ordinary pear, like dark mantis green or moss green. Then I mix two of them to get necessary mid-color if it is needed. And sometimes, I add other color to the canvas directly and just blend colors a little bit. My first question is: Do I have to prepare all of my hues and tones before I get started? Does that method contribute to realistic view of my painting? Secondly, as you said, you use your own brand’s oil paints at the moment. Which essential Winsor & Newton colors you were using before you found Geneva Fine Arts Company? More in particular which red?

    I'm currently learning and using Acrylics for the short term as I don't have a place to use oils with airflow. Could anyone point me to Winsor & Newton equivalent colours? I'm guessing titanium white, ultra marine and burnt umber will be the same but which red and yellow should I use? Cadmium Red looks much brighter than this red but could be the screen. Also cadmium yellow comes in a few hues. Much appreciated

    Thank you! I have two questions: First: how do you get transparent colors through a limited palette? Second: How should I be making my paintings so they get a glossy finish? Sometimes, some parts of my paintings (of certain colors) end with a very opaque finish, which doesn’t look good when a light is placed close to the canvas. Thanks again for all your great content and teaching spirit

    1st. In terms of color transparency... I usually use, for initial sketches, color + terebenthine (to thin them) and for glazeing add a little more linseed oil to your colors until they became transparent as you want. 2nd. Some colors are thicker than others and have less oil in them or the pigment is very dry from his nature and absorb more oil. The easiest thing to do after your painting dryed completely (usually between 3-4 weeks or maybe more, drying depends on many factors) varnish with a thin layer of linseed oil. Also you can find special oils or gels for varnishing (online or at local art shops). =^.^=

    Hi Mark. Great video as always. Have you seen/read the book entitled 'Blue and Yellow do not make Green'? If not it's really useful in explaining that in order to make secondary colours that lean towards cool and warm, an artist's palette should contain a warm AND a cool red, a warm AND a cool blue and a warm AND a cool yellow. Have you adopted that approach before? It has worked for me in the passed with great success and is still classed as a limited palette. Cheers

    I appreciate all the videos I've watched so far. However, I have a question: I saw that you've changed your yellow to bismuth yellow instead of cadmium yellow because you said the cad yellow was towards the green, or something like that. Con you elaborate on that in another video? Is the bismuth yellow as strong as the cadmium? Thanks.

    Ok but here's a question. It's an honest question and not intended to imply that you are contradicting yourself, since I suspect there is a good underlying explanation. So here's my question: on another video you pointed out that white can easily ruin a mixture even in small proportions. That one should make efforts to keep it out of certain color mixtures. But now in this video presentation, you are mixing white in almost all the mixtures. I have to admit I'm a bit confused. Hoping you can clarify this for me. Thanks!

    Thank you for your videos, they are very interesting, informative and helpful. Also, there's something I'd like to know more about which I'd like to propose as a topic for a video. I'd like to know what is the process and technique behind painting details in very loose colors which look correct from a distance, like here imgur.com/BFqhEZi for example. I just don't understand how the artist figures which colors will work. I know you've mentioned something about it in one (or more) of your videos, but I couldn't find a detailed explanation of it. Anyway, keep up the good work, Cheers!

    I have been to many talks about color mixing and color theory - but this is the one I use and recommend to other. Its just so clear - and it is maybe strange that I take this as my favorite color theory because I do not paint realistic but use color as tone and look at paintings as visual, tactile Music and I also do a lot of mixing during the painting process - and this theory has really given me a nuanced understanding of color - and then another question I use Newton and Winsor art could you say which colors you used before your own because it is so expensive to buy anything from USA because of rules of import - but your lessons are just great nomatter what style you are working with - thank you for sharing www.lisengel.com

    Hi Lis, At Mark's site there is a supply list for those outside of the US that lists the essential palette colors ( www.drawmixpaint.com/supplylist/international.html ). I believe the Winsor & Newton Artists' Oil versions of these colors are what he used before (he recommends them in the supply list). And if you watch the "how to thin down oil paint with medium" video (here: kzread.info/dash/bejne/nqSJm8ege9iTm7A.html ), the tubes Mark uses there are the same ones on that list I linked. The colors: - permanent alizarin crimson - cadmium yellow pale - french ultramarine - titanium white - burnt umber

Edit: what I mean is that colors doesnt works like temperature, orange is not the absence of blue, yellow doesnt contain blue.. or you can blow my mind by saying that yellow contain more blue than orange.. ?? I learned that the 3 primaries maked brown, in light black is absence of.. light but in paint black isnt obtainable with primarys, in theory we need the 3 primaries AND black and white.. or I miss something and someone can explain me this..
