It may require much more paint, by volume, of a student grade paint to achieve the same resulting color, as it would if you were using an artist grade paint. In other words, it is not the “volume of paint” that is important (which is usually indicated in most recipes), but “amount of color” represented by that volume of paint. Third, when one mixes colors, the end result can best be determined by the amount of color one adds to the mixture, rather than amount of paint. For example, Thalo Blue is of such a high tinting strength that to measure an amount small enough to include as an ingredient in a “color recipe” is nearly impossible. Second, there are a few tubed colors of paint that are of such high tinting strength that one could hardly devise a logical method of measuring them out in specific portions accurately. How could you possible use measured volumes of those paints in a recipe. Just think about how many color versions of Naples Yellow, Yellow Ocher, or Burnt Umber there are in terms of their actual hues. First, tubed colors from different manufacturers are seldom the same. There are several reasons they don’t work. The “recipe approach”, such as “One part of this color, to three parts of that color, just doesn’t work from a practical standpoint. I also want to make this transparent that I am in no way affiliated to this site or getting paid to do this I know that nothing supersedes practice and learning to mix by eye but can this help in forming a strong foundation and to see how colors behave with each other ? There are also some pages where the master palettes seem to be decoded of some of the classic oil paintings.ĭo you think this could be a tool to help and understand the color theory / mixing better ? Here I have found this paint mixer which gives calculated recipes for color samples uploaded on this site. I was browsing the internet today and looking for information to brush up my color mixing skills and understanding hues, I found this site called As quite a few people here already know that I am a beginner with oil paints as I have been in touch with them for their valuable guidance and help (and thankyou very much for that ) ! (i am getting better and better gradually )
