Teri Jacobson Artie Fartsie like so today we are going to do something fun We're gonna mix paint and we are mixing green how to make green and we're gonna start with just a straight Green that is lime green and I printed off the how-to guide how to make lime green and I wrote it out in English because I am not The kind of gal that can figure out all kinds of formulas. I'm not Matthew at all So the lime color is three quarters yellow one quarter blue. So I went and got cheap cheap cheap paint at Walmart and We're gonna make this three quarters yellow and one quarter blue That looks about right and we're gonna see if that makes lime green We're gonna mix this up Get all our yellow paint in there That's looking a little bit limey that I think I may have put a little too much blue in So we're gonna put a bunch more yellow in don't worry this is my craft mat. So oh there we go. I'm feeling like this is way more limey And This is cyan and yellow So this is lime green and That is pretty much lime green. I like that. It's bright. I almost would like it to be So this is where you go and don't worry. I'm not gonna waste my paint. I have this journal. I'm working on that I need some background colors for so I'm gonna try this out. I hope you can see this I'm gonna oh my goodness that looks great lime green on the page So I am totally fine with that be in my lime green Excellent But the the cool thing when you're mixing your own paints when you just have your Standard colors and then you mix them. So let's I've got all fancy. I got you new new bottles for the other ones, but I have Just my old other paints. So what you can do is there is what's called a shade and a tint So when you shade something you add black to it and when you tint it you add white to it and A tone would be if we added black and white we could probably do that, but then we're gonna see how this looks and That's when it dries will be a lighter shade of lime green Then the one we made the first time because we added Some Wait to it, which is awesome. This is my tabs Made a whole bunch of tabs for this journal so I'm getting all fancy with it. All right. Well, I like that very much Okay, so if we wanted to make a tone we would add a little bit of black also into it and it's gonna make it I don't always love tones. I'm willing to do it for you But it's gonna make it a little bit mudier looking than if you were to add just straight black or You were to add just straight white. So this is gonna be I'm gonna have to move this over probably I don't want to get my journal into the yellow, but we're gonna do this and This is gonna be just a little bit darker tone Then the other two and that way we have a really cool bunch of different lime green colors In there and you could see this is a little bit lighter. This is a little bit darker or a little bit lighter up in here and then this is a little bit darker Okay, we're gonna set this aside and we're gonna wipe off As you can see from my workboard. I'm not very fussy about having paint on it Okay, so next we're going to make some fun colors Using the how to guide First we're gonna make green and then we're gonna make dark forest green and then we're gonna make Olive green because you can do that as you go So if we're gonna make just green and most of you know green is a primary color green is made out of two primary colors green is half yellow Half red or half blue Crazy talk. All right, so I got you even out some Fresh new paint brushes, but I don't know I'm gonna use them So if we mix these two together, we're gonna get a true green color, right? Because that's just half Blue and half yellow And it just takes a second to do so if you can get used to doing this This is what I do instead of having a million colors of paint I would rather have a few colors of paint and then be able to make background colors that I like so let's go ahead and we're gonna put this on my journal page and This is gonna be a green journal page so you can see that is just plain Jane green, right? All right, so next we're gonna look at our little list and We see that deep forest green is half yellow half blue Some red and some black now. This is where it gets crazy because you think Wow, I never thought that to make a green color. I would put red into it, but we're gonna put equal parts of red and black Which will make it a shade right and then we're gonna mix it up real good and Right now the red is kind of overtaking it But once we get this mixed in And mixed up real good We'll be able to see That that is just For a screen and you can't see that red in there at all once it's all mixed up crazy, right? It's kind of fun Okay, so that's just for a screen But then we have our paper here that says if we wanted to make olive green It's half yellow a fourth blue some red and a tiny bit of black so if we if that's that color Then we just need to make this Olive green we just need to add some more yellow Okay, that's the sound I make in my head usually nobody hears it, but that's the sound of I make in my head when I mix paint and And as you will see This is gonna make what my son calls army green Right so down here We have army green That's a really cool color And I am super excited so what this is really good for is if you like that really cool Umbre effect or say you don't have Room for all the paint colors or you don't want to have to buy all the paint colors You can just go to your little stash have three colors four colors five colors with white and black And be able to mix any color that you want in the rainbow or even not in the rainbow With just mixing colors so that is how you make different colors of green now I have a whole blog post about this as well as having a This video I showed you how to make all different colors of purple and I should you had to make all different colors of orange So make sure to look for that. I will link those three blog posts in the description Hopefully this helps tarah Jacobson or T4T life
