- Get to know your watercolour palette, make an easy watercolour mixing chart. I am using the Daniel Smith Essentials range which includes 2 yellows, 2 reds and 2 blues. I shall also explain split primary colour theory in a quick and easy to understand way. Plus stick around to the end where I show you some other colour mixing references you can make in your sketchbook.

Thank you for considering ultramarine blue as warm and pthalo blue as cool. Over 50
plus years ago, that was the way those blues were taught in many art schools and that was how I still see and react to them. The idea was that if you keep your yellow at the top of a color wheel (as the highest value) and violet/purple at the bottom (the lowest value) and you travel clockwise, you move down into cooler colors through warm oranges and reds into cooler violets cooler purples, then find the coolest blues and then head up into the warmth of greens and finally comev back up into your warmest yellows. It works perfectly well going in either direction and and actually is simply how you personally interpret any particular color as it relates to (morphs into) the colors next to the colors on either side. There are so many useful, but different, color systems at point in time which various artists consider to be the "correct" system that you could go crazy going from one to the next and then find that a new one has just been discovered (or invented). At this stage in my 75 years, I am happy to simply use which ever system works and I can enjoy learning about color as I need for a particular purpose at any time. Thanks for giving me the chance to vent about hard and fast rules. Happy painting, thanks for your enjoyable video, and best wishes.
I did a 48 color chart last year, took me about 10 hours. But, it was beautiful! 2,304 swatches! I also live in FL and did it during a hurricane, so I had the time!
This pallette is genius for teacher color theory and mixing. I still use this set today. I have it in my 6 pan Etcher mini pallette. I sketch with this several times a week. If I were teacher this is the 6 colors I would ha e my students start with.
This was a fantastically useful video, thank you! I've been contemplating getting that exact set but as a beginner I was worried that working with warm and cold colours would make things too complicated too quickly. You've shown really clearly why you would want to have all 6 and how useful they can be. Thank you 😊
Yay! I’m so happy this video came at the right time for you Joanna! This is such a great set to introduce high quality artist paint as well learning essential colour theory. Once you try for yourself that’s when the knowledge sinks in. You’re welcome, thanks so much for watching!
@@tarias_sketchy_adventures thank you! Can't wait to give it a go
Thank you for a lesson, very good explanation and very useful
Really well explained. Thank you. (have subscribed)
This is exactly the information i was looking for. I’m new to watercolor and didn’t wanna splurge too much on the professional 12 pan set. Thank you for this invaluable information. I enjoyed watching seeing different colors blend beautifully together 🥰. It truly is therapeutic.
Yay! Glad it was helpful!
Have you ever seen M. Wilcox book on watercolors? Dating from the early to mid 1990s he tested virtually every watercolor from every major color house. He lists ASTM light fast ratings when available and a one to four star workability rating. So many colors described as convenience colors as they can be easily mixed on your pallet. It is interesting how many rate poorly because of the inclusion of one inferior pigment when another near identical color is rated superior without that pigment. I guess I'm saying is you are so very right about knowing your pallet and knowing the pigments used in the colors on it. So keep up the great work.
I understand that used copies of this book are sometimes available on Amazon or other social marketplace channels.
I recently bought Jane Blundell's Watercolour Triads book to help me understand watercolour mixing properites better, especially because it would save me from buying colours I don't need. I'm a nutter because I've still never made one of these charts!! I've been flexing my Urban Sketching and Watercolour skills for nearly two years, and I still haven't painted a mixing chart.
Will do. Better late than never :)
Ooh yeh I really want Jane Blundell’s book - I have been hovering her ultimate mixing set! Eek! I think resisted making a chart for years too and then I finally did last year and again, hands down the best thing I did to understand how my colours mix together. Do it Wen!! Great cold and rainy afternoon activity 😊
Looks like a great first page in a new sketchbook!
Really great video! Thanks so much
Wow. This is so amazing and beautiful artwork. Good job 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Loved this video. Can’t wait to make my own color chart. Thank you thank you !
Amazing video👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Wow, thank you for a lesson, its very useful, great explanations
Very good,thanks😎
Fantastic thanks!
Thanks for watching Jessica!
I need to do this too. I've some earth tones also, pushing the total to ten or more. Procrastination, ugh
Hi. Thanks for sharing this! You've got great advice.
One correction: your cool red (quin rose) should be PV19 not PY19.
Btw, congratulations on your wedding!
Nice video as usual! 😊 But a cool red and warm blue are actually the closest to purple on the colour wheel (rather than a cool red and a cool blue) so would they not give the most vibrant purples when mixing?
Hello! I am new to watercolors, and I purchased the Daniel Smith Essential Watercolor Mixing Set. Has anyone ever asked you to clarify how warm/cool works for the blues? The pamphlet that comes with the DS set identifies French Ultramarine as the cool primary blue and Phthalo Blue (GS) as the warm primary blue. OTOH, every video I've seen that focuses on this same mixing set classifies the blues in reverse, i.e. with French Ultramarine as the warm primary blue and Phthalo Blue (GS) as the cool primary blue. I have two questions about this: 1. Which is correct? 2. Why is there a discrepancy between the DS pamphlet and artists on CZcams? Thank you! :)
Hello! Oooh that's a great question...I hadn't noticed that in the DS leaflet. I am not a world-leading expert on this but i am 99.9% sure that French Ultramarine is the warm blue (as it leans towards red/violet on the colour wheel) and the Phthalo Blue (GS) as the name suggests, leans towards green. I just did a quick check and on the DS website they also identify it as a cool blue: danielsmith.com/color-stories/watercolors/phthalo-blue-green-shade-watercolor/ - maybe they made a mistake in the pamphlet?! Eek! :p
