in this video I'm going to refine the
color mixtures that I made in previous
videos with both oil and acrylic and
then I'm going to paint the paper model
that I made so that I can refer to it as
I'm developing the color in my painting
in this hemisphere just in review I was
mixing the color of this mug in oil
paint with phthalo blue yellow and red
and white I would like the color to be a
little bit lighter so I'm just going to
play around with the colors that I can
get it
using a phthalo green instead of the
phthalo blue plus a yellow just to make
things a little bit simpler and see what
kind of range of tones I can get using
that so here I have some Van Dyke Brown
and some white and some phthalo green
and white over here and what I'm going
to do is I'm going to mix these two
together to get something that's a
little bit lighter in value than this of
course it will be more chromatic and
probably greener and then I'm going to
mix these two together to get a value
that's a little bit lighter than this so
that these will be approximately the
same value the same level of lightness
versus darkness and then I'm going to
mix different proportions of those two
mixtures together to see how neutral I
can make my mixture and how chromatic I
can make my mixture and which one I
prefer so I do think that this color
ended up to be closest to what I was
going for and I tested it here it's
about a step lighter than than this
really um and that's kind of what I was
going for after I realized that this was
going to be too too dark for what I
wanted and so this these feel a little
bit too chromatic and this feels just
about just about right so here you can
see they've stayed approximately the
same in value but they're changing ever
so slightly in chromatic intensity
and shifting a little bit in hue so here
I have a little bit of phthalo green and
acrylic and some white and some Van Dyck
Brown over here and some white as well
so I'm just going to see if I can get
something close to this new oil paint
color that I've mixed so I'm basically
doing what I did before mixing the green
with white and the Van Dyck Brown with
white but I'm because it's acrylic I'm
attempting to mix something that's about
half a step lighter than what my target
value is because it will dry darker so
now I'm just going to swatch some of
this next to my previous mixtures so as
this dries I'll see how much it darkens
and if it ends up matching this mixture
that I made in oil now I anticipated
that this acrylic color would darken a
bit more than it did as it dried but as
as it didn't I'm going to remix now what
if I had wanted to save these acrylic
mixtures well there's several ways to do
it and one is to use a Masterson stay
wet palette now I'm planning to use the
stay wet palette mostly to hold the
paint and the paint mixtures that I make
but not so much for mixing on it can be
used for that but I'm going to mix on a
sheet of gray palette paper
now I'm going to mix these two together
now I'm going to let these dry these
little test samples that i've swatched
next to my previous samples
this was my oil painting range of
mixtures that i made and then these
three underneath here are the acrylic so
this was the Van Dyck Brown and white
and oil paint this was the Van Dyck
Brown and white in acrylic and then the
same for the phthalo green and white
here and then the mixture in between so
you can see that the mixture in between
it's a little bit more towards the
yellow-green then the oil paint mixtures
and I think that's because there's a
little bit more this oil paint van Dyck
Brown is more neutral and this one in
acrylic has a little bit more yellow in
it and it's a little bit more chromatic
and this is still within the range of
colors that I'm going for so it's not
necessarily a problem but if I wanted to
vary that color a little bit so that it
wasn't as yellow of a green I could
instead of mixing the phthalo green with
the Van Dyck Brown and white I could go
back to the phthalo blue and mix that
with the Van Dyck Brown and then I would
get I could get a similar color but it
would be a little cooler
the brown is doing two things at once
it's doing the work of two different
pigments its neutralizing and it's also
shifting towards the yellow so here you
can see this last mixture in acrylic is
very close to this target mixture in oil
that I did so also here this is this
last mixture that I did an acrylic and
then it you can see that it matches very
closely with this oil mixture that I had
as my target so using the phthalo blue
instead of the phthalo green with the
acrylic got me a closer match to the oil
mixture in which I was using the phthalo
green just because of the difference in
color between the oil and acrylic van
Dyck Brown for the floor and the ceiling
I want a color that's more of a blue
gray I'm going to try mixing black with
white and a little bit of the phthalo
blue the color scheme of the floor is
actually going to have sort of a creamy
color here and then the blue gray here
so I want to see how that creamy color
might work with the blue gray and then
the greenish gray of the walls so I'm
going to mix some of this titan buff
which is sort of unbleached titanium and mix
it with some bleached titanium white and a
touch of this gray that I made I'm just
gonna test a little bit of white next to
it just to show the difference it's just
a touch darker and a little bit warmer
than the plain white
I think what I'm going to do is use this
dimensional
fabric paint which is a brighter
white and reinforce the plaster work and
the moldings and then I'm going to remix
this blue color to be a little bit
grayer a little bit more neutral and
repaint these blue areas on the floor
and also repaint the blue areas on the
ceiling as well I've decided to go ahead
and inscribe the rest of the tile lines
in this floor so you can see my other
model shows the demarcation of the
different colors of tile but then it
also shows the separate tiles within
each color so I want to go ahead and
make indentations in the paper so that
it will show a little bit of separation
between the tiles within each color
I'm still not sure about this color for
the floor and for the ceiling I think
that for the floor it just my choice to
use a cool gray just is ending up to
look too blue even though I neutralized
it again and the ceiling I think that's
just going to be too dark what I'm doing
now I would call a scumble or a dry
brush kind of a veil of the color I have
a very little paint on my brush and then
I am just kind of scrubbing the paint on
just a very thin layer of it and the
layer is partly see-through so you can
still see a little bit of the blue and
it kind of optically mixes with the gray
so I'm I'm very excited about this color
I think it's working out well you can
see that it's just a touch lighter and a
little bit more neutral than this blue
grey that I had most recently mixed so I
want to get the rest of this covered and
then I can kind of see how it feels with
all the colors working together and
decide whether they're harmonizing well
now I'm going to use this piece of foil
to make a backing for my maquette and
that will keep light from coming through
when I assemble the model and put it in
front of the window
