"Blue And Yellow Make Green, But There Are OTHER WAYS" Topic

Tonight I was trying to make something similar to Raw Umber using my craft paints but had no luck at all.

So I decided to look up art videos and found this unbelievable gem:

So now I can use the Burnt Umber and add a tiny bit of yellow and produce the closest thing I've seen to Raw Umber.

QUESTION
What's the name of that spatula he uses to pick up and mix the paints?

Palette knife.

I knew the yellow and black trick. That's how to make French artillery green. But wow what an eye opener.

The burnt umber mix might be useful for highlighting as he says but I really wouldn't describe it as green.

Palette knife! I kept drawing a blank.

I lost three of those in the flood last year. Never really had much use for them, seeing as how I thin down most of my thicker paints.

Thanks.

I like that.

Orange & black make olive drab. ;-)

I read back in the day that most black dyes are really just extremely dark greens.

Makes sense.
