In this video I demonstrate
In this video I demonstrate how to mix and handle a variety of reds in oil paint using my 'Two-Colour Mixing' method. This will help you mix the colours that you want, reliably and cleanly.
I show you 6 ways to mix reds:
0:00 Intro to mixing reds
3:45 Mix 1: rose madder and light green
6:10 Mix 2: magenta and light green
7:03 Mix 3: cobalt violet and light green
7:30 Mix 4: ultramarine violet and light green
8:55 Mix 5: rose madder and cadmium orange
9:12 Mix 6: magenta and cadmium orange
The mixes will have all the advantages of Two-Colour Mixing: allow seamless colour shifts and vibrant, translucent colours even when diluted for washes and glazes.
The principles of Two-Colour Mixing are:
- arrange your paints according to the 'Color Line' (see my 'Practical Color Theory' video for more detail)
- identify where the color you want to mix sits on the Color Line
- don't use the color itself, but pick one color from either side on the line
- darken the color by moving further away on one side or the other - don't use black
- only use white to lighten a mix
- add small amounts of paint at a time
- keep your knife/brush clean
This video is one of a series looking at mixing all the different colours in my Colour Line. Each video uses the same principles which I explain in my 'Practical Colour Theory...' video - it may help you if you watch this first...
I will be bringing out more videos on colour mixing in the next few weeks, along with those looking at great artists and how they paint, so don't forget to subscribe!
