If you need to convert different colors, I recommend looking at their online chart. Note: these are just the conversion to the 18 piece set that you can get on Amazon. Dark Green Permanent or Hooker’s Green Hue – Holly Branch.Dioxazine Purple – Purple Iris (much lighter).Cadmium Yellow Light Hue – Yellow Flame.(Remember these are NOT 100% exact conversions but are more like a substitution) Liquitex BASICS to Apple Barrel Craft ( 18 piece set on Amazon) That is fine and works often! For example: “Dioxazine Purple” can be any shade of that purple you may have on hand whether that be a craft paint of purple or a tube paint labeled with a similar but different name. What many people do is take the color chart (like the one pictured below) that I provide on my tutorials and try to find a close color to it. However, you can get a close impression of that color (or a substitution). It is important to know that paint brands won’t convert 100% exact match because of the way the paints are mixed in those tubes for that brand. If that means you use a tube of craft paint for one color, a tube of Liquitex BASICS for another – that is fine! A common question I get is what if I want to use craft paint but the tutorial calls for the tube paint? Can I convert colors? The short answer is yes you can! If you are okay with it not being a 100% match.Īlso, is it okay to mix acrylic paint brands in a painting? Yes it is absolutely okay! I am all about using whatever materials you have on hand.
