It is because of your videos that I now only use a limited palette. It has transformed my art above and beyond. Thank you!

[diregoose]

I didn’t know you were still making videos! Years ago your color mixing video with the cup still life had more impact to my understanding than anything I read or watched before and since. To this day I think of your advice every time my limited palette is getting prepped. Thank you sir!

[PaulMollon]

Mark, thank you for your Video Lesson. I have been painting successfully for decades, and I find your approach very refreshing and informative 👏👍😃

[AlyssaAleksanian]

you are such a generous person- in my opinion, a true teacher- someone who gives to elevate their students. Thank you for this generous wealth of videos.

[german_glez]

It is always a luxury to watch your videos, especially when they have a more purely technical nuance as in this case with the explanation of the chromatic wheel. Congratulations!

[verakace]

I learned how to paint with your videos while I was feeling my painting degree lacked the ‘know how’ of how to paint and I’m beyond grateful for this channel

[Seiffer]

Beyond grateful for your content. Most of what I know about mixing color comes from you and this answered all of the remaining questions I had.

[deebarnard]

The first video was fantastic. But this is the perfect addition.
Thanks for sharing. ❤

[annadimezza]

Thank you for your generous advice. I keep rewatching your videos for inspirational instruction. You are a master!

[Jodes]

Thank you Mark! You have made a huge, beautiful impact in the world! Bless you!!

A much needed video! This has answered so many of my questions about mixing colors.

Your prior color wheel was great, because it shows where white and burnt umber falls in relation to the color wheel. Then, it harmonized well with "If you want to make darker, use either blue or burnt umber" and "If you want to lighten, use yellow or white." Actually, it's because of your videos I was able to use AI to generate very wild and exciting colors, then use acrylic (failed due to fast drying) to match the color. I decided to get a small kit of basic oil paints, and it allowed me hours to match and play, and I soon learned using your guidance how to match even wild colors.
Note: Very vivid colors (like neon dance rave colors) involve totally different pigments, but the same theory pretty much applies.

Thank you very much for your guides and videos. You and Florence Fargas really opened up the technical (and even theoretical, you made painting to me seem like a beautiful experience more than just pigments on canvas) experiences. Thank you for that. I feel like I'm back in highschool making an oil painting self portrait again.

Your Studio is marvellous, so atmospheric as in the late 1900's. Thank you for your colourwheel method, excellent. Xxx❤

[DrawingFromImagination]

This is a big step up from the previous version. Great job on the improvements!

[renatobfa]

Great advice as always Mark! I think that there are so much usefulness out of the really strong tinting and opaque yellow ochre and venetian red NOT to put them in your line of paints that it is a shame, really. They are the bread and butter of my color mixing. Two series 1 pigments/colors that are so simple yet so common and useful. I might use something like 5 times more yellow ochre then any other yellow and the venetian red is 50%/50% with my pyrole red and magenta, just because it is so close to natural reds of the world when you mix in a little bit of white/black/yellow ochre... Anyway, just something to think about

[joecosgrove]

Sensei, like how you are continuously thinking about teaching art and color theory. This is a great step forward.

[nunuallen]

Thank you for this, I have the hardest time with color, mixing it, what goes where, etc… I have to watch this again to really get it.

[MaryAnneDorward]

This is extremely helpful Mark! Thx very much!

[huntsail]

Great job with the new color wheel, and explanation, enjoyed this.

[felixgonzalez]

I will like to print this new wheel color. Excellent explanation. Thanks
