Mixing blacks and darks in watercolour - fascinating blacks and vibrant darks 

Thanks so much for simplifying black mixing so brilliantly.

I was scribbling notes like mad! Ha ha FUM BUM! I hope my late comments don't bother you, I'm always late to the party (Beginning painter at 53!) but comments are supposed to help give your analytics a boost in the algorithm. You're so good that I'd love you to have a larger audience! ❤️

This was fantastic Liz! This older video popped up on my feed. So VERY pleased I watched. The purple and green - not a yellow was utterly new to me, and I shall be making notes. Listening to a longtime professional artist is one of the very best ways to learn when not attending art school, or as in my case, getting a bit long in the tooth to be starting 🫣😳🤷‍♀️🖌️👩🏻‍🎨🎨❤️❤️

Thank you for sharing your expertise. You are a good teacher and am fortunate to have found your channel.

Brilliant, thankyou for an excellent explanation and demonstration. I can't get enough of your videos. I am learning so much.

Ahhh I learned something new: FUM+BUM & it’s a great dark color. So there’s no yellow to mix with purple to get a black or darker color. Oh wow, now I’m interested in mixing up more color combinations to see what colors I will/can get. Thanks for sharing this wonderful informational video with us!

This video was so very helpful to me as I was having trouble making lively blacks. Thanks for the info.

Wonderful! Very helpful. So glad i found you!

Thank you! Beautiful mixes :)

Very useful tips. Thank you.

Great tips. I screenshot your mixes. Thankyou

Great great info! Thank you !

It's an absolute joy to watch your videos. Thank you so much for sharing your expertise.

Thank you very much, Liz. I learn so much from you. These color mixing lessons are just great!

Wonderful Liz! Thanks for sharing this very useful information. I now have some new mixes to make the darks in my painting.

Liz..have you tried Frisk artists’ sponges? They do a marvellous clean up job at removing paint stains from plastic palettes

Thank you for another great color mixing lesson. You are a great teacher and very generous sharing so much valuable information.

Thank you! I learned to mix black from blue and burnt sienna a while ago, and from aliz and viridian, I have an old paintbox that has real viridian in it, but the purple route is a new one form me. And you are such a lovely teacher!

Really useful, thanks Liz. BTW, I’d never heard of ‘fumbum’ before but I’m sure I’ll never forget it now!

What paper did you use please
