  • Browns are probably more difficult to mix than greens. Here's a demonstration on how to mix rich browns.Shopping through the links below helps support my watercolor channel. Thanks for browsing.

    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.

    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.

  • @gorway7
    @gorway7 Před 5 lety +1

    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.

      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

    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?

    • @JeanLurssen
      @JeanLurssen  Před 4 lety +1

      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.

    I wonder, could you do one on greys? And in particular light grey.

    • @shaziagill3
      @shaziagill3 Před 5 lety

      When you add three primaries you get browns. When you add two secondary colors you get greys. :)

    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?
