GREEN

One of the hardest colours to use in painting. It can seem overwhelming, gaudy, un natural. And yet for some of us it the colour we most live with and wish to use in our paintings. If you have issue with using greens, here's my tips.

Mix it, play with it, and most importantly ... always make a note of the yellow and blues you use in the mix. Finally - be aware that painting with green is more about the colour that is next to it - observe it next to pink - it's complimentary colour.


As part of my #JustPaintJanuary challenge I am sharing a series of small videos and live demos to help anyone interested in art to get more out of there painting. It's free to join, any time in January, by following this link https://www.helenelliott.net/justpaintjanuary
