Various tricks possible. Instead of white spirits, use turpentine to thin your paints. Apply your oil colours in thin glazes, and this can bring wonderful luminosity to them, as the colours underneath come through. Use 'pure' colours, very clean brushes, and study your colour wheel to find the contrasts to bring the brighter colours out more.Want to oil paint bright colours but don't turn up as bright as i want. What's the trick plzzzzzz?
Hi,
I don't know if you're referring to the paint itself, or if you want to make a painting where a certain colour will seem to glow, like for insteance giving the impression of a light.
In the case of the second one you have to bear in mind that a colour will look according to the ones surrounding.
A yellow may seem a bright light when surrounded by dark colours, but it sure won't if it's surrounded by white.
Go to museums, grab a book with paintings from old masters and study their works.
Painting is learning to see. Go ahead and learn :-)
Good luck !
Kind regards,

Yeah, changing your ground may help. Also if you're thinning with linseed oil it causes yellowing over time. The quality of your oil paint may also be effecting your results. If your using a drying medium (such as liquin) they can darken your colours upon drying.
Hope that helps.
What did you paint on? If you used canvas did you primer it?

Pure color out of the tube, no white or dark colors added. To brighten use cad. yellow light or lemon yellow.
