When mixing you will end up with a tinted black that is either slightly blue, green, or brown. Mix all of your base colors in equal parts then adjust from there.

People have been manufacturing black pigment since ancient times. Most are a result of burning or charring something. Artist's charcoal is still made from willow twigs that are roasted until they become black. A common color called "lamp black" comes from scraping the soot off a pot or other object that has been heated over an oil lamp. If you want to make paint you have to use black pigment (like charcoal or soot) and mix it with a medium (like oil or acrylic). In a pinch you could grind up some charcoal and mix it into a dark color paint (like ultramarine blue).
Sometimes it's best not to even use black in a painting. Monet, for example, never used black. For shadow he would use the complimentary color (the opposite color on the color wheel). Say if you wanted to make a shadow on a red object you would use green. A shadow on a yellow object would be purple and vise-versa. Believe-it-or-not you can use yellow to make a shadow on a purple object (as long as it is wet-on-wet). |

you can't make black. see if you have some black shoe polish in the house. you can mix it with the darkest color you have.
maybe you can find some soot in your garage. |

Hi,
Some artists are not too keen on using black on their works. Some mixes can be done : Alizarin Crimson + Phtalo Green Alizarin Crimson + Ultramarine blue + Raw Umber (?) Alizarin Crimson, Ultramarine Blue, Viridian Green, and Burnt Umber (try mixes with these colours) Finally : http://www.wetcanvas.com/ArtSchool/Color/ColorTheory/Lesson11/index.html http://www.nitaleland.com/faq/colorfaq.htm Hope this was helpfull and remember a colour will look darker or lighter depending upon the surrounding ones. Kind regards, José http://www.auctionads.com/refer_242a48c5e5ce3f175fc5 http://sitekreator.com/hushcolours/index.html |
