Why I Swapped Cyan for Phthalo Blue | Exploring My Modified CMYK Palette. Week 7 Day 3

Описание: 🎨 Hey friends, welcome back! This week, I’m continuing my deep dive into my modified CMYK palette—plus white! Today, we’re talking about my replacement for cyan: **phthalo blue**.

Phthalo blue is the biggest shift from a traditional CMYK palette, and honestly, it’s the most important modification. In this video, I’ll break down why I made the switch, how it compares to cobalt teal, and what makes it such a versatile (but tricky!) color to use. Plus, I’ll walk you through my latest **9x12 oil painting on ABS**, where I dedicated the piece to phthalo blue’s incredible depth and range.

💡 *In this video, I cover:*

✅ Why cyan pigment doesn’t exist and how cobalt teal compares

✅ The strengths and challenges of phthalo blue

✅ Mixing tips for greens, purples, and deep chromatic blues
