I truly love marshes and very much like your rendition, using the fine browns you mixed. Here's an observation that will either amuse or annoy you-I hope it's the former! Slide the "time" bar to EXACTLY 10:00 minutes, freezing the screen just there. Now look at the marvelous slivers of white (representing water) within the treeline AND and the wonderful branch texture at the top of the trees.
Now, at 10:02, you brush out those slivers of water. And, by the end of the session, when the painting has dried completely, the tops of the trees have melted into a soft blur. Both results are absolutely fine and are likely exactly what you wanted! I was just intrigued by the two different "effects" mentioned above.
Thank you, very helpful! It is lovely to watch you ‘winging it’ because it helps us see how to solve problems on the go!
You really are one of my absolute favourite watercolour artists!🌿
I loved how you made it all happen ! Stunning colours and great painting!
Such wonderful; awesome instructional teachings. I can't thank you enough.
I loved doing this with you! Thank you.
thanks Jean, I always enjoy your videos!
Beautiful Jean!
Beautiful painting. Thanks!
Thank you Jean, I actually knew that in theory, never put into practice so it was great to see you demonstrate all the different combinations. Great demo!!
Glad you found this useful June.
So fabulous Jean perfect timing as I am trying a Burnt Aussie landscape...this will be so helpful.hope you are keeping safe 🤗
so helpful and easy to remember with the way you explained it! Thank you!
Very helpful! I mixed a bunch of colors today. Ended up with some pretty purples, a few browns and greens.
This tutorial has been incredibly helpful to me. You’re an amazing teacher and a truly original, talented and inspiring artist. Thank you, Jean. Sending love to you. Jessica xox
Thanks so much Messyjessy for the lovely comment.
I really love using the quin burnt orange in making browns and "spiking" my other colors with transparent brown oxide(DS). And I am not really a fan of most raw umbers cause they seem well like what they are, mud. But I liked the combinations with DS raw umber cause it's more transparent and in making greys. So many options! I really enjoy your videos and love the organic look. Thank you.
This was really helpful, thank you so much!
Gracias Jean. ¡ Admirable !
This was PERFECT exactly what I wanted to do this week. Guess I feel brownish hahaha but really everything Jean does is so so helpful!
Thank you Jean, I've just found your channel... I loooooooove browns - they are my favourites and as you said NOT many people talk about or teach how to mix different browns. I learned a LOT, thanks again.
Glad you found this useful Magdalena.

Thanks so much Kathy.
Very helpful, thanks!
Hi Jean, absolutely love your tutorials, thank you so much, it’s really helping me get through our lockdown in the UK! Please can you do a landscape with sea and sand? Loving the “winging it” tutorials 💙 Thank you, Sarah 🌊
Wonderful!! I have been trying to paint a marsh scene for years....Your demo helps(in my mind anyhow..) Now on to paper!
Give it a go Leslie.
Thank you. I always learn things here.
Thank you! Very helpful!
Love it! Thank you!
Thank you for this video .
Hello gorgeous explanation of the browns, I always follow their videos but I would like to see her paint in larger formats.
Thank you.
Thank you, desperate to find a chocolate brown for a brown lab dog this has been very helpful to find some depth of colour i was missing.
So glad it helped Kate.
I tend to use Burnt Sienna as a base and add a bit of neutral tint - I don't use brown a lot but this combination gives me a wide range of usable browns that I can replicate easily with a limited palette. I will try some of your combinations.
Yes Peter, I forgot to mention that combination which makes a lovely brown. Thanks.
Thanks!
Very helpful, thanks
Wouwww cute 😘
Thank you!! :)
I've been mixing Quin burnt orange with Sap Green, amongst others. My struggle is making browns that I can duplicate in another painting, when I mix my own. And the other challenge is knowing which brown goes with the other colors I use. I'll have to keep making color swatches :) I'm just starting in watercolors, after painting in Acrylics for the past 11 years (didn't know I could paint till I was 50. Now 62). Very challenging indeed! haha
@@rosemaryclark610 Making charts is a good idea. Congratulations on persisting with watercolors. It's an exciting medium.
Thanks mam.
Thank you so incredibly much! This was so helpful! Apologies if I missed it, but is that the Winsor Newton burnt umber or Daniel smith burnt umber you used at the start? Thank you so much again!
It's W&N and her is the link bit.ly/2xl85pX I list all the materials with links below the video. Just click on "show more."
You are amazing! My favorite watercolor artist on youtube:) I was wondering if you have ever tried watercolor on a canvas? I'm not having any success even with watercolor ground, do you have any tips?
No I have not Avery. I strongly believe that watercolors work best on good watercolor paper. It's what gives them their unique luminosity and appeal.
Very helpful, thank you!
I wonder, could you do one on greys? And in particular light grey.
When you add three primaries you get browns. When you add two secondary colors you get greys. :)
See my video on mixing neutrals at czcams.com/video/BFWQJfVgIy0/video.html
Loved this. Can you now do greys please
Will definitely do one with greys since I love painting with neutral colors. Need to plan it out and then come up with a demonstration painting.
See coming week's video.
At 7:43, I believe you meant to say that a primary should be mixed with a complimentary secondary (as you said initially). Am I right?
Yes exactly. Did I mix that up?
Allo!
""Watercolor - mixing browns""- in this video are you using just normal color or also granulating?
