Color Mixing Demo - How to Mix Black From Primary Colors #shorts

Показать описание

In this video, I demonstrate how I mix black from primary colors. I match the the color of the black handle of my palette knife. You can watch my in-depth tutorial on how to mix black if you're interested in more formulas for how to mix black. It includes 11 recipes for mixing your own black.

Below are a list of the art supplies that I use in my color mixing demos.

PALETTE
The plastic palette that I use the Mijello Fredi Weber peel off palette. It’s made from a type of plastic that acrylic paint doesn’t stick to. You can peel off thick layers, thinner layers can be scrubbed off with a rag and warm water. It’s much easier to clean than a wood palette or any other type of plastic

I use the peel off palette with Golden OPEN acrylics and I clean them off while they’re still wet. I store the entire palette inside of a Masterson sta-wet palette without the sponge. The seal on the lid is really good because the paints stay wet for weeks!

You can see how this works in my video below

PALETTE KNIVES
I’ve been using the palette knives from Liquitex. This set of 6 is inexpensive and they work well. I purchased them in 2018 and they’re still in good shape.
