How to Mix Paint Colors

Video Transcript

"DAVID CLEMEN: Hi, I'm David Clemen on behalf Expert Village. And today, we are going to paint a wooden food tray. All right, welcome back. Now, we're going to mix the colors to get the--mix different paints for different colors for the different fruits. And I'm going to start with the bananas and since I've already got this white and yellow combination. And I'll go with a little bit of white, a good amount of this cadmium yellow and when it's mixed with the white, it kind of turns into the color of a ripe banana. So once I get my color that I want, I can just kinda come in here. And it's a little orange so I'm going to actually add some more white to it, so it's more of a banana yellow. And I can actually take just a smidgeon of black, just to kind of darken it up because you know when bananas are ripe, they kinda get that darker yellow on them. And then, I'm just going to come in, and fill in where I traced with the lighter paint before. Over here. Fill this area in. And now I have my base for the bananas, and it's a little light so I'm going to come back in and make it, like do a second layer of this so it can build up a little bit. Take a little bit of that black and just build it up. And I might be going a little too dark on that one but that's all right. Okay. And that's mixing the colors for your bananas."
