You won’t have to remember this if you paint flesh. You need red , yellow and blue. Black (or raw umber) and white. THATS IT. DONT GET CONFUSED. He is giving you twenty years of study. No one will remember all this.

One thing on most youtube videos that makes them difficult to digest is, that the authors cut out any pause in the narration, so that the overall effect is one of a constant stream of words, with no punctuation. I don't know why they do that. It would be easier to understand a complicated subject, if it was told with the natural flow of sentences preserved.

Just remember most flesh is basically orange with white added to lighten it or brown added to it to darken it. He's just making his own orange and brown from the primaries. This is good because if he wants the orange or the brown to have more red he uses more of the alizarin crimson. If he wants it to have more yellow he uses more of the yellow. If he wants it to have more of the blue he uses more of the blue. That's all he's doing. For a neutral orange you can buy out of the tube you can use Raw Sienna. If you want it more yellow use Yellow Ochre. If you want it more red use Burnt Sienna. More dark brown Burnt Umber. More greenish tan Raw Umber. Even more red Indian Red. More violet Turkish Red. Etc. But if you use the primaries like he is doing you can make these colors yourself. That's why it's an exercise. You don't have to remember it. Just practice it and you'll do fine.

The thing is, flesh is not always the obvious colors of flesh. But you have to look harder to see the cobalt blue or the cadmium or green in the overall painting....sometimes blue or cadmium red, whatever, used as flesh, will set the flesh colors off and stand out like magic realism....

Monsol color theory. Hue, value, chroma. Hues : purple, red, yellow, blue, green. 5 total. Value: black (darkest) white (lightest) Chroma: the strength or purity of the color. Other words: intensity, saturation. A color is more chromatic the further away is from grey. Exercise to learn about mixing colors and chroma. Work with a limited paletted of really intense colors: Yellow : cadmium lemon. Red: Azarim crimsom . Blue: ultramarine blue. White: titanium white. Cadmiun red is another red color that is warm, but to make it cooler you would need to use blue or white, and that would desaturated it. But most colors in nature are desaturated, like the lemon.

I'm going to be honest, you need a f*ck of a lot of determination, because making a living from your art can be incredibly difficult. The only advice I can really give is keep painting and improving, enter your work into competitions, find ways to show your work and meet people, in person and online. Opportunities will come. If anything it has become easier to reach an audience in recent years because social media, so we're not so reliant on galleries anymore.

Thank you very much Stephen! Yes I do. Though that doesn't mean I always finish a painting in one day. Rather it means in one process, starting by blocking in the larger shapes then refining and eventually adding details. With a larger painting you can refining the whole thing in one go but you work a section at a time. Even so, you continually have to keep reassing each section and comparing with the whole, so they may need repainting. I will have to make a video about the process of doing a longer painting at some point?

Alex, I don't paint nearly enough to be any good but your superbly presented videos are for me the best encouragement to be found on KZitem, thank you. Please keep up the good work. One question though, at one point in this video you say that adding white to neat ultramarine from the tube increases its intensity, but that statement seems to me to be incompatible with the situation, if that is taken to the extreme, when intensity will obviously be reduced if so much white has been added that there is no chroma or intensity left. As I understand it just because pure ultramarine has a very dark tone does not mean it has low intensity, it is just difficult for us to perceive that intensity.
@SIMPLIFYDrawingandPainting
5 ай бұрын
That's very a good question. Generally, adding white will cause a colour to loose its intensity. But with some dark transparent pigments, like ultramarine, or alizarin when you add a little white it becomes a much brighter colour. In its pure form ultramarine is intense, but only in relation to other dark mixtures. It's very dark so you might use it to add more intense notes to really dark shadows.

The way I found most useful was to take the three primaries and white, and I also added burnt umber to help with the darks, and I chose a colour chart from one of the companies and spent an afternoon mixing colours to match the chart. It was a real eye opener how many colours I could make and it was a great experience which made me feel more confident in colour mixing. I still have the swatches I made for reference with notes of the colours used in order of the quantity of colour needed.

Mixing colour charts is definitely a very useful exercise, but I reckon I learned more about intensity and matching the relationships between different colours by using combinations of the 3 primaries?

@SIMPLIFYDrawingandPainting
7 ай бұрын
I agree.17th century painters didn't have acces to cadmiums etc. they would have had vermilion and more nuetral earth pigments so probably quite similar to the Zorn palette. The Zorn palett makes it much easier for mixing flesh colours i.e. portraits and figures, but it's not so good for mixing brighter colours. This palette allows you to mix a much wider array of colours, but its harder to mix greys and neutrals.
