Hi class and welcome to the great green shootouts. Who we can see how to really get a nice green and the ones that can cause trouble in your paintings very easily. To start with I'm going to use burnt umber and yellow. Well no blue, no you don't need to start with blue it can really make terrible greens that can ruin your paintings quicker than you think. Okay here we go with the burnt umber. So here with the burnt umber you can see you get these very subtle greens. Okay they're not green green but when you're painting the landscape if you look at the side of a tree this would be perfect for highlights um on on foliage so it's a really really handy for when you're first blocking in so the bright green doesn't put your eye out when you're trying to judge tones and colours. The next one which I often use is black. This is a carbon black still with a cadmium yellow light and you'll see how that affects it. That's got a blue undertone so it's light using a very very muted blue to get a green. You only need a small amount of black to make a big difference to your yellow. This has got a lot higher tinting strength than your yellow especially if this was a transparent yellow like cans of yellow or lemon yellow. So here you can see with the ultra green blue it goes a lot obviously a lot bluer you've got a lot bluer green here but this black and the yellow makes a very very nice green in between these two so if you don't want to go as a subtle with the brown black is often a very good choice. Again with a thalabaloo be very careful you only need a small amount to change it. So here you can see when we look at the mass tones of the colours as in how dark they are this thalabaloo green looks very dark darker than the ultra green blue but mixed with a yellow it suddenly gets a lot more vivid what I would call an acid green coming especially on this one here. So as part of the shootout guys my money is on the black and the yellow this is the one I would probably use most to create a nice balance and a tonal painting. I might use a bit of the ultra green blue just for an odd punch but more than likely I would use a glaze to warm up the colour rather than using a pure opaque finish.
