Flash back to susan savages acrylic painting 1 class. We weren’t even allowed burnt umber! Nor ANY pre made green…. We used this brand of paint. Class requirement was this brand
I bought some of the colors you mentioned and followed your example of mixing some of the colors, but didnot succeed in making the bright and vibrant colors you made! All my colors are more dull and darker, it’s a pity because I love the beaming colors of you in this video.
green gold is hard or impossible to find, outside of Golden
Great lesson. U r so good with colors
Hi, I’m hoping you can answer my question….will your 3 extra colours you mentioned work well if mixed with a medium quantity student grade acrylics. Thanks in advance for any help.
