Paul – great vid as …
Paul – great vid as usual! Interesting to see your approach to colours – that abandon of yours is coming through clearly again!! ) Do you tend to mix your paints in advance of a painting (Picasso did this) so that you can paint with fluidity? Also, do you use a particular colour to give a hue to the other colours, pulling them all together?

I tend to limit my paintings to just a few colours (usually about 5 max) and they tend to be warm or cold themed..

Thanks Paul, your videos are inspiring! I am painting more (and more freely) because of them. I was surprised by all the colors you use on your palette.

what do you think about the non-toxic “hues” as substitutes for the toxic colors?

Good question. Hues …
Good question. Hues don’t have the same mixability as true pigments. If you want to mix a small number of colors together to get new ones, suggest real pigments instead of hues. Hues tend to get muddy and dull when mixed together. True pigments typically don’t.

The palette is interesting. I would love to see what and how you ad things to the paint, dryers, oils and so on. I might have mentioned I am an acrylic painter but have been fighting it and do love oils. I’m not sure how to get that creamy oil mix that I see in great works of art in person. I think, DAMN, mine don’t dry like that. They also don’t sell my paintings as coffee mugs in their shop so I must still need to learn something. chemicals/additives? thoughts?-thanks

Real quick. The more I’ve been painting with oils this year, the more I don’t want to play with acrylics. It’s an addiction.

Why on earth one would need so many different colours??? learning to mix great colours with only a few basic colours is best.

..keep your palette in the freezer? with food? omg….actually it’s a good idea..I do have problems with dried colors and brushes. Do you paint with shirts off? but wear gloves? perhaps, getting color on the body is ok but hands?….lol…
The best hand cleanser,”Gojo”.
No problem with heavy grease & oil.
Enjoy color on your fingers~ thank u for the vid. u r great.
