Oh my gosh, exactly what I needed to see and hear right now! I'm a (self-teaching) beginner and love the olive greens, golds and bronzey tones, which always come out looking too bright and unnatural for me even when I mix them. I'm headed straight to my sketchbook after watching this, and for sure getting my black out! Thanks so much, Louise.

🤩Louise Fletcher, you make me feel happy each time I am listening to you or reading your posts. Thank you!

I love using black too. Thanks Louise

Wow! I've been told by so many fellow artists not to use black. This is truly a game changer. Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I'm self taught except for watching your incredible videos - thank you!!

Of course we need black! Agreed, no rules❣️

your enthusiasm always convinces me. The afternoon has turned dreary so what could be more fun than mixing greens?!

I always seem to struggle over greens so this is very useful...thanks Louise

Thank you for a full vindication of black in painting. ❣️

I used black to make some collages sing and then mixed the most amazing green. I can remember my art teacher saying black was not allowed and she sat me down to paint a black singer sewing machine. It was a good exercise but I love black too.

Love black now🤩🤩🤩🤩

I always used a black board when making interior design presentations to clients, because everything looked so much better.

You are right on the mark, my kind lady! I love black, but their are two blacks, cold and warm, but black is our friend! This is such a wonderful video, damn you have made me smile again! You are a hero of mine!

Thanks Louise. Great video as usual. You explain things so well. Cheers.

Thank you for this really fundamental lesson. I really don't know enough about colour mixing.

Your first combination of the fluorescent orange looked like lava! So many complimentary colors by simply adding black/white👍😃

Fascinating, thank you for sharing your experience and wisdom, Louise.
