Color Matching Challenge! (Inspired by @Jazza)

How hard is it to match paint colors by eye? It’s time to find out! I’m putting my color theory to practical use and taking on the color matching challenge that @Jazza did recently to see if I can get a higher score, even though I’m a complete beginner with mixing oil paints!

I’ve had this idea on my list to do for months since I saw the artist do it perfectly on tik tok 🤣 but I kept putting it off because I didn’t think it would be feasible to do too well. You did great!!!

[WillowRoseArlen]

Oh my gosh, EXCELLENT first attempt at this! Definitely one-upped Jazza, he'll have to do a follow up video to redeem himself 😉 😄

me screaming "YOU NEED YELLOW!" the whole time you were making teal 😂😂

Tip: when mixing a light color and a darker color. Start with your light and slowly add in the dark. Some pigments are much stronger than you think.

The science behind seeing colors is so fascinating, and I'm kind of glad you're hooked on this, this video was so cool!

I would like to say Thank You for being a very normal, funny, enthusiastic artist, who makes learning inspirational & achievable. I have spent the last few weeks binging on your wonderful videos and smiling at your antics. I’ve sharpened my pencils, downloaded your colouring pages and watched the colour theory and b, ending videos multiple times. I started to learn to draw during quarantine, and then work took over again but I am starting to use colouring to deal with stressful days, and that is down to you!

Painters refuse to accept that CMY are the true primaries... Red, yellow and blue make for a more muted and natural palette which is often preferred.

The painters that do want to mix very bright, clean colors often use a "split primaries" palette, where they have a warm and cool version of red, yellow and blue. Obviously, this ends up including magenta and cyan... Proving once again that CMY is way more versatile..

When I went to art school we actually used the printer colors, Cyan Magenta Yellow White and Black. In acryllics though. I love acryllics, but wish we had learned oils, or at least dabbled with both.

THANK YOU for pointing out how annoying it is that many colour sets don't have magenta and cyan!!!! Bugs me much! I am an art teacher and when my kids have to paint the colour wheel, I also make a point of showing them WHY it can only be THESE primary colours when we want to be precise.

You are amazing and a huge inspiration, it is really incredible the time you put into your videos for us!! I have been practicing art lately. Thank you so much. YOU HAVE A FELLOW MELBOURNE GAL HERE

So fun!! I've just started learning about Color mixing and keeping limited palette, which has allowed me to purchase professional grade watercolor paints for the first time in my entire life this week! Color mixing is a skill and it's helping me to better understand color theory in more depth.

Thank you so much for continuing to try new things on your channel! It's truly inspiring to the older (30+)new artists like myself!

Golden acrylics, primary yellow, primary magenta, and primary cyan are the best. You can get an amazing range of colours. :)

[nikkieyeque]

the colour struggle re: cyan and magenta is REAL!!!! for physical artwork, e.i polymer clay, pastels, paint having CYMK makes the process so much easier. There are colours that you CANNOT get with the standard RYB in meduims with pigments. I have to buy the magenta & cyan samples separately so often!

[agnesegerton-bland]

I can't wait to see you learning painting, I'm sure I'll learn some more alongnwith you!

[blooelmo]

Yahoo and happy day! Thanks for putting out a blast of fun video! You did great with this, and lookin forward to the painty stuff.

Be well alls, and chipper cheerios! 😄

Fantastic video! I’m a Autobody painter and it was so neat seeing a artist perceptive and struggles on colour matching. Your video on the Cyan, magenta, yellow colour wheel re fuelled my passion for colour. 👍🏻

[LazyMiso]

This was so entertaining and frustrating to watch ahaha 🤣 and omg I love your cat, he's so chill

[molliannstocks]

Better color-matching comes with practice, as does so much of art! Jazza's had many more years of practice doing this, so.... good for you! One tip - when trying to make small adjustments, don't use the whole puddle - pull a little aside, add your additions. If they don't work, start with more of the original color puddle, and adjust that!

Anyone who dares challenge Jazza is my favorite kind of person. Cant wait to watch rhis

[pamelagrandymerkel]

Very nice color mixing Sarah. I love it you're having fun. That's the main reason for learning & being creative. Excellent example for me too 🤗🤗👏🏽👏🏽
