MIX YOUR WATERCOLOURS LIKE A PRO!
In this video I show you how to mix watercolours to achieve a combination of subtle and delicate hues, essential for landscape painting. We have a look at the importance of understanding what you can achieve with just 3 primary colours and a few earth colours. I show you how to set out your palette in a way that's simple and effective and demonstrate the benefits of using a limited palette. You will also get to see some of my most important, 'go-to' colour mixes that I rely on in my landscape paintings.
The painting of Kimmeridge Bay that I use to illustrate this tutorial is available as a Limited Edition of 50 prints - please visit for more details www.ourlandsca...

I am one of the many who decided to take up watercolour when Covid hit. I was eighty three when I started. After paying foir on line lessons for eigthteen months, I have learned more from watching your beginners tutorials. I feel more confident about continuing now. I was just about to give up. Thanks a million.

Bravo, carolehayes5418! I am coming up on 79, and started watercolour painting in 2015 through a class given at my church. I just found Oliver Pyle's tutorials online tonight and have already learned learned more. I have not painted since Covid lockdown started here in Feb. 2020. So now I am refreshing my knowledge with tutorials before starting to paint again. Mr. Pyle is very good at explaining in " beginner's language" , not expecting us to understand the terms and all of painting and products right off the bat. I really needed this refresher tutorial so I can start off right. Keep on painting and playing with your paints and brushes dear lady. Have fun☺️😀 and try different styles and🎨🖌️ techniques for the fun🪁 of it. 🤗

Oliver’s videos are so informative. It took me years of workshops and classes to amass just a fraction of what he covers in these videos. He’s a wonderful teacher. He’s clear and easy to understand and his passion and enthusiasm for the medium is contagious!

@mscott976 Месяц назад

I’m just a child of 73 and am binge watching these videos to try my hand at watercolor! I really enjoy the videos and his way of presenting information!

@patricianegron7167 Месяц назад

I have just recently found Oliver’s tutorials and I’ve been watching for over a week now. I love his style of painting and his color mixes. I’m ready now to begin my own color charts and washes for skies and water. I don’t feel ready for an actual painting yet until I’ve done his practice sessions first. I also started painting after Covid, it’s been an extremely hard time for me as I lost my husband [who was a physician] to Covid. Slowly but steadily painting has been a great help to me as far as getting on with my new normal. Thank you Oliver for being such a great teacher and an amazing artist!

Wow! This is by far the best demonstration ever. I love your paintings. Your colors are so spot on . After watching this I know why. Thank you for sharing this. An 86 year old from Canada

Hello Oliver … The Greatest Instructors Are The Most Accomplished Artists ! You are That Talent

@helenspicer6296 Год назад

Oliver Pyne, Wonderful teacher and brilliant watercolour painter. My palette is a little different for the Australian landscapes but fantastic tutorials and I am addicted to your work. What generosity to share so much with everyone. Thank you so much for the inspiration to keep going at 86 years young.

@Paul_C83 Год назад

I started watercolours 20 years ago, I was never very good and did it less and less over the years... eventually only getting the paints out of the case once or twice a year. A few weeks ago I decided now that I'm travelling more to nicer places I want to make more of an effort with my watercolours by studying and trying something each day. It's been very clear to me that i dont have the expertise when it comes to having the right colours and how they connect to each other... but also how I always added paynes grey to change shade of colours. Having watched this absolutely brilliant, clear, easy to follow and understand tutorial... also my first video of yours.... my mind is now open to so many possibilities. Having practiced during and after the video I'm so excited with the results and how much my paintings will now change and make me less stressed and annoyed because now I have a much better understanding. Thank you so much

@llucas2008 15 дней назад

I’m sure everyone’s told you that you’re brilliant. I just found you because I just resurrected my desire to sketch and paint again. I’ve tried my hand on oil and acrylic (daubbled) and I love oil pastels but I’m just getting into watercolor and I can’t get enough of your videos. One day I dream of visiting the Lake District and doing my sketches and watercolors. Right now I use my photos from my travels to Sonoma and Ireland and later those of Austria and Greece. Thank you for inspiring me.

Oh wow Olly - the information in this video on mixing watercolours is absolutely stellar! When lockdown UK happened in 2020 I decided to learn watercolours, and my first job was to mix every tube of watercolour that I had inherited, with every other colour. I produced a note book of thousands of shades and hues, it was illuminating! My friends say I have a forensic understanding of colour now 😀 But I completely agree with you, you have to mix them yourself to see what happens if you add a little bit more of X colour and a little bit less of Y. Understanding the colour wheel is really important too. Thank you so much for showing us the colours you use, and how you created those fabulous rocks at Kimmeridge - it is my current goal to use colours more loosely and let them blend on the paper - let go of control, and Ultramarine Blue with everything! Thank you so much for your generosity of spirit and teaching 👍😀

@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442 2 года назад

Thanks Terri - the note book exercise will have been very worthwhile.

@tmsouth1 2 года назад

That's how I started out my watercolor 'journey'. I don't have nearly that many mixes yet. Days when I may feel too tired to paint I mix colors. It is so relaxing. I too have learned so much and am so glad I started out that way. I still have more work to do as I have gotten a few new colors.

@donnagoode6923 2 года назад

Sir, I’ve taken many painting classes and you are the first instructor to illustrate to me, the nature of cool and warm as it applies to the primary colors this explicitly and succinctly! Thank you very much.

@artdavisstudios Год назад

Rewatched this and took notes. One thing about your videos that is so exceptional for me is that I can rewatch them after I've applied the techniques shown in my own work for a while and then the second watching reveals new insights. Great stuff!

@bls924 Год назад

Wow! Thank you for this invaluable information! I learned so much about the simplicity of using just three primary colors to create beautiful harmony in a painting. I never realized how important swatching out colors can be. Seeing your video with the different gradations finally made me see the subtle, but important changes in color. A light bulb moment.

@karengodbey8517 3 месяца назад

Oliver, thank you!. I believe it's the first video that I've seen from your channel, ...and it is priceless! I began dabbling in watercolors about 3 months ago. The content in this video came at the perfect time for me in my journey. Thank you so much for showing your step by step technique, explanations and application. I just subscribed & liked, and will be recreating your charts today. I appreciate your skills in art and in teaching!

@juliabehar4229 2 года назад

Oh my goodness!!! What a GIFT this tutorial is. Thank you!! Now I just need to watch it and practice 2 million times:) I have been learning watercolor for for 9 months. Some in person classes and now online. This tutorial is exactly what I need. I came across your painting as I scrolled through utube looking for new inspiration and completely fell in love with your painting style. I wondered if I would ever learn the secrets that produced such breathtakingly soft, harmonious and light-filled paintings. This tutorial has opened that door to me and I am so grateful for your generosity. I am English so it doesn't hurt that your paintings depict scenes that are very dear to my heart but now I live in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado so learning how to mix my own colors is pivotal. I would also like to say to thank you for teaching in such a clear, complete, encouraging but realistic manner. Your humor is an added bonus. I look forward to much growth as I hop on to this massive learning curve. Thank you!

@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442 2 года назад

Thanks for the kind and thoughtful comment Julia - and all the very best with your watercolour journey. The Rockies will make for wonderful subjects!

@alexharbron 2 года назад

I wouldn't descibe myself as a beginner, but there was something here for me too. The pre-mixed darks is genius; especially for quick plein air work, and the green mixes have got me stretching my colur palette for new recipies. Thank you for the inspiration Oliver.

@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442 2 года назад

Cheers Alex - I find they're perfect for that point just before the wash dries and they're right at hand and ready to drop in before it's too late.

@jainetawton3852 2 года назад

Thank you so much for this series of videos. I have been painting for a number of years but I was always disappointed by my muddy colours, now I know why! Your explanations of colour mixing have been a revelation and I am no longer confused about using the different colours. Now I can have harmony in my paintings and save myself a small fortune on buying pigments. Thank you!

@trishbale8243 2 года назад

@KuldaevaWatercolor Год назад

Hello Oliver, I am sending a "neutral" warm message from Australia. Thank you so much for sharing your palette and all your other wonderful tutorials! I just landed a surprise teaching job (drawing & watercolour) yet I hardly ever paint with watercolour. I am 63 years young and never taught before... so you are my teacher, before I can teach my students. Love your work!!!

What an eyeopener! Thank you. This is without a doubt, the best color mixing tutorial I have watched. Truly a Masterclass. I greatly admire the 'style' you have developed for your painting and am using it as a guide to develop my own. I love the sense that they represent a 1930's date and time-sometime before the world went crazy. It has given me an awful lot pleasure on my own personal journey through watercolor. Again, thank you, Olly!

This video is such a gem, thank you Olly for delivering so much information in a relaxed, engaging style. You’ve encouraged me to do the colour charts and I love the variations in the shades you can achieve. It’s like looking at light splitting from the surface of a CD! I’m looking forward to your next landscape tutorial, I admire your loose soft style and would love to recreate it in my own fashion.

@yellowrosecottag Год назад

Thank you Oliver! So helpful! As a beginner I was paralysed by too many colour choices. Then I did an online class during the pandemic with an artist who limited to a palette of three colours with not a lot of mixing. That was liberating and enabled me to focus more on technique and control. Now recently I had been struggling with warm primaries vs cool primaries and how to lay out my palette so this video was exactly what I needed for clarification. I’m out of the mud now! Your videos are great. You show everything from the mixes in your palette to clear explanations of every step. I’ll keep watching.

@youngwonpark8825 Год назад

I have watched millions of RU-vid videos by artists, but I would like to confess that you are the best teacher. I used to struggle with color mixing and failed every time I tried to add colors to my pen drawings. You have just opened my eyes to true color mixing. Thank you very much. Greetings from South Korea :)

Thanks for a great tutorial. I'm trying coming back to painting again after a 20year hiatus and never really got going back then. Now we have youtube for guidance and this guy in particular is a revelation. Such a great technique and he's right, he makes it look easy but it is by no means. Subbed and I have every intention of pursuing this time round. I'm on my 3rd visit to this video in particular and no doubt will be back to this and others many times to come. 👍

@sookking 2 года назад

@barbarawilliams7012 11 месяцев назад

I’ve watched this many times over recent months and decided I have so many different colours (purchased sporadically over 3 decades in the hopes of ‘painting like ……) that I am overwhelmed and confused. Your message has finally got through to my old brain that I need to simplify and really get to know a limited amount of colours so Yesterday I took delivery of Windsor and Newton’s 24 pan travel set, obtained at a very specially price and great to take on my travels, and I am absolutely delighted. I will make a couple of substitutions - can’t live without light red and cobalt blue - then all those tubes will be put in a box on a high shelf. I have already spent happy hours making swatches of colours mixed in the palette and there are some standout favourites, now I am eager to try mixing on the paper and seeing the magic - I just love granulations! Thank you so much for your inspiring teaching. PS so happy that my set contains cadmium free red and yellow.

@Paul_C83 Год назад

I started watercolour painting 25 years ago but I was never very good at it and over the years I did less and less until eventually the paints only came out of their case once or twice a year. Very recently as I'm now travelling to more nicer places I decided to make more of an effort in my watercolour painting... by studying and trying a little everyday. It's been very clear to me that i dont have the expertise when it comes to having the right colours and variations.... if I have green and want a darker green then I will use a darker green on top or as usual just add paynes grey to everything. This absolutely brilliant, clear, easy to follow and understand tutorial... also my first video of yours... has opened up my mind so much to the endless possibilities. During and after watching the tutorial I have practiced... and I'm so excited by my results now i can understand... but I'm also excited to see how my paintings are going to improve. Thank you so much.

I've watched several lengthy videos on colors now and yours is my favorite. I learned so much from this and my own color charts! I've had the hardest time trying to mix nice colors for rocks and shores that are pretty together and this plus your video on washes blew my mind
