Among the various mixtures that we can get to work in our works, today we bring you a very interesting color, mainly to represent elements of interior and exterior decoration, clothing and jewelry &#8230; Today we tell you how to make the golden color.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">First of all, as always, we are going to tell you a little about this color, looking at aspects such as its symbolism and telling you some curiosities. Let&#8217;s get started!<\/span><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><u>The golden color<\/u><\/span><\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is <strong>named after the<\/strong> most characteristic <strong>metal<\/strong> of this color: gold.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Actually, <strong>gold<\/strong> is not a color (although we refer to it as such colloquially), but an effect that manages to give the impression, through the handling of the painting technique, that it is a metallic material, with the brightness that characterizes it (that is, it does not look like paint on canvas, but a metal).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Symbology of the color gold<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Although it is within the yellow range, the meaning is different:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Fidelity<\/strong>: this is because gold cannot be combined with other elements by melting. For this reason, and the fact that it is a very durable material over time, wedding rings are usually made of gold.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Merit and pride<\/strong>: that&#8217;s why many awards have this color (like Hollywood&#8217;s Oscar Awards, for example).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Wealth, luxury, articles for high purchasing power&#8230;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3><strong>Curiosities about gold<\/strong><\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">It is a color <strong>related<\/strong> to the alchemists, who, during the Middle Ages, aimed to transform other materials into gold.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>For the Incas<\/strong>, gold was the blood of the sun.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>The use of gilding in painting<\/strong> has been closely linked to religious works.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Gold is the<\/strong> representative <strong>color<\/strong> of the monarchy and nobility.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><u>How to make gold color<\/u><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As gold is within the yellow range, we will use the mixture of different shades of this color with others to achieve the golden color. Here are two ways to obtain the color gold:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Medium cadmium yellow and tan shade<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #000000;\">Indian yellow and ivory black<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">In general, <strong>to achieve the golden color<\/strong>, we can do it through the earth tones (there is a great variety that we can use for this purpose), but, paying vital importance to the brightness, to the contrasts between dark and light and that these are very well trimmed. This way we will get the metallic look we are looking for (in our<\/span> <strong><br \/>\n  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arteescuela.com\/cursos-en\/\">Online Painting Course<\/a><br \/>\n<\/strong><span style=\"color: #000000;\"> you will learn how to represent the appearance of any material: metal, glass, fabric&#8230;).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>You should know<\/strong> that you can also find gold pigments on the market, i.e. paints containing metallic pigments that reflect light.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\">As always, <strong>we recommend that you<\/strong> add small amounts of each color until you obtain the desired shade of gold as a result.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>Understanding and assimilating the Theory of Color<\/strong> is of vital importance in order to work with paint and obtain the desired results, avoiding unnecessary waste of pigments and achieving much more vibrant and realistic finishes.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">To learn how to handle color, as well as all the techniques and materials you need to know to paint like a real professional<\/span>, we recommend you to visit our<\/span> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.arteescuela.com\/cursos-en\/\"><strong>Painting Course<\/strong>,<\/a> <span style=\"color: #000000;\">where we teach you all the concepts, techniques and materials for you to become a true artist, finding and developing your own style and getting to where you propose.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hello, Artenauta!
