How to mix greens with watercolors. The topic is also relevant to oil and acrylic painting as well.
My PATREON MEMBERSHIP PAGE: www.patreon.co... - in addition to ad-free content you get exclusive content (new videos will be more in depth than those on my RU-vid channel), hi-resolution reference photos, photos of my finished painting, and drawing outlines where available. Other benefits are also included.
My teaching manual: Mastering Watercolors - A Practical Guide: amzn.to/3ZF2FRW
This videos explains the main reasons students often struggle to mix the right green.
Topic covered include which colors I use and why I use them. In this way you can apply the knowedge to your own colors that you use to mix greens. Or you can use my own.
I only use Artist's Quality watercolours, which are made by Winsor and Newton. However there are a number of other quality brands out there as well.
This is the 18th video in my beginner watercolor artist series.
If you are a beginner, and this is the first of my videos in this series you are watching, then I highly recommend that you go back and begin at Watercolor Class One and do the exercises in each. These exercises are what I used to put my beginner face-to-face students through, before allowing them to progress to more advanced subjects. Even now, before a student, new to watercolor, can join my online class they have to first prove they have studied and applied this beginner lessons. In this way, new students are able to more easily join my more advanced classes.
I also have a couple of watercolor painting books which I published and distribute through Amazon.
The first one, which has sold over 10,000 copies is bascially my teaching manual and is titled:
Mastering Watercolors - A Practical Guide.
The second is full of step-by-step demonstrations and is titled: Watercolor Step By Step: amzn.to/3z4YXEu
Both books are available in kindle format and paperback.

Aack! I was preparing to do this lesson and purchased the colors I didn't have- and bought Daniel Holbein-Raw Umber, Auerolin and Cobalt Turquoise, though I purchased Winsor & Newton Phthalo Turquoise due to cost. I was amazed to see that these colors are completely different colors than those on your palette. I approximated your bright green with Emerald and aureolin, a pretty close match. I kept mixing as you did and the idea of brown having red yellow and blue in it, and adding combos of yellow and raw umber seemed to work, in spite of the color differences...
@JoeCartwright
@JoeCartwright 5 месяцев назад
Well done. It is better to understand why my colors work so you can apply it to your own colors, rather than just robotically using mine.

Thank you for sharing your knowledge on greens, it was very helpful. I did a color swatch similar to yours with my blues and yellows, but I used cheap paper and I wasn't happy with the outcomes. I'm not sure if I used too much water of if the cheap paper made the difference. Also, I love your paintings!! Can I ask if you work mostly from photographs? Or do you make up your scenes? Thank you!!!
@JoeCartwright
@JoeCartwright 5 месяцев назад
You are so welcome! Glad you enjoyed my video. The amount of water will probably make more difference than the type of paper you are using for color swatches, though it would certainly be better to do color swatches on the type of paper you use for your paintings. Most of my work is done from photos I have taken or from me painting outdoors with the scene infront of me! 😊

Aureolin is not lightfast unfortunately, with many online references to that fact. Otherwise, thank you for sharing the varied natural greens you can make with two blues and two yellows.
@JoeCartwright
@JoeCartwright 2 года назад
Thanks Yvonne. Using Aureolin is a bit of a tradeoff. I use winsor and newton artists quality watercolour and light fastness listed as "Very Good" and permanence listed as "Permanent". While this is not as good as French Ultramarine which has a lighfastness as "Excellent". Under normal conditions i.e. under glass and not in direct sunlight I have not found any fading after almost 20 years of using this colour. However, I do understand your concerns, it can be substituted with with any other green leaning transparent yellow.

@CHarper-l5u
@CHarper-l5u 5 месяцев назад
I does beg the question though Joe, why are the colors which are named the same so different? Is it the manufacture/company that makes the difference or are colors with the same name different in different parts of the world?
@JoeCartwright
@JoeCartwright 5 месяцев назад
While the pigments used are probably the same, there are additional fillers and other compounds added that modify how the paint flows, dries, etc, and these can alter the final colors. Also one has to make sure that the colors are actually named the same. For instance, French Ultramarine would be different that just Ultramarine, or Ultramarine Hue. Once you get good at color mixing using different quality brands is not difficult.

That's a very interesting choice of colours to mix your greens with! I was wondering which Veridian you use for painting the sea? I know Veridians that are a single pigment PG18, and I know Veridian that actually use phthalo green PG7 instead, but I'm not familiar with pre-mixed ones. Which brand do you use and is ot worth getting that particular one over the other PG18 or PG7? Thank you!

I fascinated by tutorials on mixing greens: I am binge-watching! But I have a question for you about how you use your paint wells. Early in the video, you show your Aureolin. It’s already got lots of other pigments contaminating it. So it’s not a clean pigment before you start mixing. I have been painting less than 2 years and those “messy” palettes don’t appeal to me. So I use separate brushes to go into my paint wells and thus keep my pigments “true”. I have lots of brushes wash at the end of a painting session but I am happy.
@JoeCartwright
@JoeCartwright 2 года назад
Hello Wendy. The contaimination in my paints is usually by colours which are usually mixed together anyway e.g. Cobalt Turquoise and Aureolin, so it doesn't have an impact on the mixes. Also, as colours are affected by the atmosphere (they get duller as they move further away) a little bit of contaminated paint helps represented that. I will make a video in the future about why it is "usually" not important to paint with clean paints. If I need clean paint for a certain item I just clean the top part of the paint well and move the dirty paint into another well for later use.
