I know that you have made me a poorer instructor, I simply cannot express how much better you explain these concepts than any other person I have met or watched. I am poorer because I say when asked about these ideas I just say go watch Denise on “In Liquid Color “ I hope that this is Ok, and I wish only good things for you and yours!
Extremely informational. Thank you. You have a lot of time into those color charts. I am just getting into watercolor myself. I am also going to have my oldest daughter, who I homeschool, watch this video for her art class. Keep the videos coming!
I'm glad it was helpful for you! I'm an educator by day (elementary after school art programs), so it means a lot to me that you find this video valuable as a teaching tool not only for yourself but for your daughter as well. I am getting the itch for some more color charts, so stay tuned! :)
Looking forward to seeing them. My daughter and I are awaiting our Jane Davenport Peerless watercolor set. We are purchasing them together as we are both on a tight budget and just getting started in watercolor. I am sure we will be making a chart of some sort as well as a cool cover to store them in and make them portable.
Thank you so much....very helpful....I will continue to follow you. A person can always learn something new...plus...sometimes we need a reminder of all the basics! Great job! Wow that large color chart! Amazing!
Granulating pigments are heavy and coarse unlike finer pigment particles. These pigment particles gets collected on the paper and give beautiful textures. And, swatch is like a sample which is useful to compare different colors and create a color palette.
I have learned so so much from your color mixing! Thankyou! May I ask you how you get your videos so crisp and clear? Tricks? Camera? Lighting? zoomed in? I'm a high school art teacher and my videos are so blurry even with using a ring light and camera settings
Lots of light! Unfortunately space wise, I have four lights I film with to get my otherwise dark room bright enough to film in. If you have a good camera on your phone, that often works better than a larger camera.
I find split primaries a tad confusing. I would love if you would do a video with a bit more explanation.....also what colors to use to tone other colors down. Reading it in a book isn't the same as watching you do it and explain as you go along. I loved this tutorial and will be watching it several times. Thank you so much for sharing!
Thank you for commenting! I'm kicking myself for leaving out a more detailed description about the split primary color wheel. The purpose of using two of each primary in a split primary wheel is to have the ability to make the cleanest, brightest, and most vibrant secondary and tertiaries while mixing. To get those cleanest mixtures, it's best to stay within one section of the color wheel (i.e. warm blue and cool red). The farther away two colors are on the wheel the more "mud-like" it's likely to be. Mud isn't always bad, but the wheel is a helpful tool to get to know your paints a bit better. I put down on my list to make a more in depth video about toning colors down. In the meantime, know that you can do this with a color's opposite. For instance, if you want to tone down a bright red to a muted pink, you can add just a hint of green and it will lessen the intensity of that color. Like I said, I'll put it on my list for a visual explanation! Thanks again for watching :)
hi my name is nana, I love love love your videos! its very useful, im learning so much about colors, im very interested in the last chart that you make which is to combine color to get the neutral one in the middle of the color range, could you please post a video or maybe if u have a blog for more explanation on how to do it and which color to use to make it.. thanks a lot!
Sri Ratna hi Nana. I'm glad the videos have been helpful! I do have a video on neutralizing colors. There's a play list on my channel called Color Mixing and you can find it there :)
Hi Denise, I know I am a year late :-) but would you be able to tell me what blue can replace the Pthalo blue DS? Here in Canada, the price of the tube is $85 on Amazon Canada. Thank you and much appreciated.
Hello! Sure, if that's something people want to see :) Do you mean watercolor sketches I've previously done? I only *just* started an actual bound sketchbook but I have all of my sketches in a portfolio folder.
Any sketches that you have done..it doesnt matter if its not from ur sketchbook..id love to see how you have grown as an artist..its sort of a motivation for me to see other artists' journey
So... if you aren’t sure what the primaries are in a specific brand, how are you supposed to determine what the primaries are in order to mix clean colors? Someone pleeeease help. I will be super grateful for advice on this
Nice video, but there are only 3 REAL primary colors from which all other colors can be mixed, except white. Those are Yellow, but NOT red and blue. These last two are *secondary colors*, so they can be made. The real primary colors are: Yellow, MAGENTA and CYAN. Mixing with these give the most clear and vivid secondary colors you can have, and therfore also the most clear and vivid tertiary colors. *Secondary colors* are: Magenta and Yellow = *red*. Magenta and Cyan = *blue*. Cyan and Yellow = *green*.
Possibly, no, PROBABLY the most useful art instruction I've ever received. Bravo! It really helped tame the subject of color mixing for me.
Thank you so much Caroline! That means a lot to me and I'm so glad it was helpful!
Caroline Honse I feel the same !

There are some very beaitiful colours you created in the process of creating neutrals. I'm learning a lot.

Love this! Would love to see the different charts expanded to its own individual video. You're a great instructor!
alwaysroses thanks so much! There is a new video on the neutralizing chart (opposite colors) :)
Loved your method for split primaries! Earth palette was definitely a favorite, though :-)
Thanks for watching! I myself want to work more with those earth colors :)
Not having ever had a class on color, I found your video the best I have seen Thank you I would love further instruction!
Thank you so much! I'm so glad it was helpful :) More videos to come!
this has finally clarified so much for me however I would like more in depth on split primaries thank you so much love your channel!
Thanks Madison! I'm so glad the videos are helpful!
Thank you so much....very helpful....I will continue to follow you. A person can always learn something new...plus...sometimes we need a reminder of all the basics! Great job! Wow that large color chart! Amazing!
Thank you kindly Eve! I did have a lot of fun with that chart haha :)
So good for this newbie. I’d love to see a video of mixing skin colors
Thank you for teaching me how to mix colours
love your videos you make it easier to understand. now if I could just remember everything! thank you!
Thank you so much! :) I'm so glad they're helpful for you.
Could you please do a video defining the terminologies you use (i.e. granulation, swatch, etc.) thank you.
Granulating pigments are heavy and coarse unlike finer pigment particles. These pigment particles gets collected on the paper and give beautiful textures.
And, swatch is like a sample which is useful to compare different colors and create a color palette.
I’m still confused. The warm/cool and knowing which to use is overwhelming
I agree, color mixing can be very confusing.I have taken her skillshare class, it helped me a lot in color theory.
Very informative video especially since I've recently made myself a very tiny primary pallet

What is the brush you are using? It looks so functional. Thank you for a great video🌸
Hi Denise, I know I am a year late :-) but would you be able to tell me what blue can replace the Pthalo blue DS? Here in Canada, the price of the tube is $85 on Amazon Canada. Thank you and much appreciated.
thank you
You're welcome :)
Thank you, very helpful..
Glad to hear! Thanks!
Alain, so usefull. Thank you... Can you tell me what is the abreviation "MG" for the Colors that you use ?Anne- Marie
Thanks Anne-Marie. I use both MGraham and Mission Gold. My MG is MGraham while I juse MM for (Mijello) Mission Gold.
would u consider doing a sketchbook tour??

Thanks for replying! I'll see what I can do! Best wishes :)
In case you missed it, I do have a sketchbook tour video up now! :)
InLiquidColor i havent missed it and i gotta say i loved it!! especially tge bird sketches!!
So... if you aren’t sure what the primaries are in a specific brand, how are you supposed to determine what the primaries are in order to mix clean colors?
Someone pleeeease help. I will be super grateful for advice on this
I replied to one of your other comments with a link to a class I made to update all this information. I hope it helps!
I don't understand the color chart at 12:40. Its split with value and mixing colors? How is this chart organized?
Thanks.

*Secondary colors* are:
Magenta and Yellow = *red*.
Magenta and Cyan = *blue*.
Cyan and Yellow = *green*.
I have a whole other video on that that came after this one :)
Okay :)
I'm looking at another one of you now, about honey and glycerine.
Very interesting, thnx.
Magenta and yellow make red orange , Cyan and Magenta make blue purple
sigh, red is NOT a primary color.
I have a video on that.
