I posted this before, but want to tell you again how much I appreciate your getting to the subject of the video without 3-5 mins of conversation or explaining what you are going to show us. I don’t mean to berate anyone else at all. It is just my preference to get to what attracted me to the post. Thanks Emma.

@janelowmass7038 3 месяца назад

Agree 100% preamble chatter about the subject really annoys me too! Thanks Emma for getting on with it!

@nancyloomis3046 3 месяца назад

I think this is the case for me too. If someone tends to veer off in irrelevant chat that I have no interest in, I will hit the skip 10 sec ahead quite a few times to move on to the part i'm interested in (on whatever touch screen you have ..2 quick taps on the top right of screen to move forward 10 sec or two quick taps on the left to go back.) But I understand, the video creator likely believes there's a need for introducing what may be to her/him, some significant info or just something interesting that they want to share. We're always free to move ahead or not. 😊

Nickel Azo Yellow is a must. It's pushy and I love to use Nickel Azo Yellow to punch out that floral center... it's magic!! Makes SO much of a difference. Quinacridone Rose cause you can't mix a pink, and Quins are lightfast, so bonus. Daniel Smith Cerulean Blue Chromium, Holbein Sap Green (but idk ... I'm kinda crush'n on that Shinhan Hookers 😲🙌🏼) . DS Mayan Dark Blue as my warm blue/Payne's gray replacement... I would add a sixth, Buff titanium... the beautiful blushes it makes, so dreamy.

This week in my Senior Center Beginning Watercolor class we worked on color mixing. This is so helpful. I may show your video next week just to reinforce the simplicity of a limited palette. Thanks for all you share with us.

@jean.marion 4 месяца назад

My 5th color would be Neutral Tint. I pretty much add it to every shade to tone things down. Plus, it makes a perfect black.

@fionafrazer8820 4 месяца назад

One of the most used colors in my palette - love neutral tint.

@janiceaistrop4807 4 месяца назад

I have learned so much from you that I never knew before, about watercolor painting. Since I started watching your video's. Thank you so much for teaching this about the color's and mixing them and everything else. I look forward to your video's every day. I still haven't seen them all yet, but I'm working on it. Thank you, for being a great teacher and painter. You inspire me to continue my journey in watercolor painting.

@susosu6070 11 дней назад

I’m a beginner. I’m learning how to mix colors from primary colors. I found that i quite like to have white and black colors in my palette. White color helps me lighten the color and also helps me make pastel colors too. While Black helps me darken the colors in a blink. Haha. Anyway thank you so much for sharing your techniques. I do learn a lot from you. Thank you 🙏🏻😊

@urban_fox4658 4 месяца назад

Ok, gotta recommend a red that can be a deep red, but magnificently, can be a soft pink with water, of course, as well. Schmincke Horadam Limited Edition Cochineal Red. It’s an “old world” color and I’ve become obsessed with it. It’s quite expensive ($20/15ml tube) and I’ve only been able to find it at Jackson’s online in the UK… BUT, I 100% recommend it. The history alone is worth buying a tube. ❤

@Athanais157 4 месяца назад

I am obsessed with it, too. I have bought 2 tubes. 🙈

@urban_fox4658 4 месяца назад

@@Athanais157 No way! After writing this, I went and bought more. Lol I have three tubes now and I hope it’s sold so well that Schmincke decides to keep it around permanently. I was an Art and Journalism major before switching to biology (weird, I know). So, maybe needless to say, I’m big into art history and research, and the story behind this color is fascinating. It’s just a beautiful color and so versatile. Good to know there’s someone else out there who’s discovered this obsession (and what are the odds we’d connect over the same video!?). Happy painting! ❤️🖌️🎨❤️

@Athanais157 4 месяца назад

@@urban_fox4658 I am totally obsessed with color. I live in Germany so I get the Schmincke colors really easy. I love their Naples Yellow and Cobalt Turquoise and Cobalt Green Turquoise. not to mention the supergranulating colors. 🙈 I find art history very interesting, too. Yesterday I read about the pigments Monet has used. I really hope Schmincke keep the red permanently in their range, too. 🙏🏼 Happy painting 🤗

@karendirmish2696 4 месяца назад

Amazing video, top five colors, and I appreciate last choice of White. I have always had white in my kit, for lightning and changing tone at times! I’m still trying to have a limited palette, and it’s not easy! Brands are always tempting me to try colors, but I’m learning you can’t always reinvent the wheel! Thanks for gentle teaching !

This was so interesting, Emma. I love seeing what people chose for their limited palette. I am coming back to WC after an absence due to health reasons . I am really excited to start painting again and brushing up on my skills. And that means reviewing my palette. Thanks for sharing. A very timely video. 😀

@veystone2580 3 месяца назад

This would be my limited palette since I mainly do portraits and these are (for me) the best color options. 😊 Paynes Gray (Van Gogh) New Gamboge (Daniel Smith) Quinacridone Rose (Daniel Smith) French Ultramarine (Daniel Smith) Sap Green (Daniel Smith) And I always include a Primary White Gouache (Holbein)

@Mirrigold 4 месяца назад

Great combos, I'm always going to go for a CMYK limited palette so a Cyan Blue like Cobalt Teal or Cobalt Cerulean Blue, then Magenta or Quin Pink, a neutral Yellow on the brighter side like Bismuth Yellow or Quinophthalone Yellow and then a Payne's Grey or Neutral Tint 🙂 I'd add a Phthalo Green (Yellow Shade) or Olive Green and possibly a Burnt Sienna if I was rounding it out to six colours.

@rachelhambone1159 4 месяца назад

I would love for you to add a limited color palette to your line with colors similar to these. Perhaps a six-color palette? Love your videos!

@TheClutterLady 3 месяца назад

An 8 color palette is probably my ideal. I like having a black, but another convenience color would be a mint green or blue. They're so light that I find them hard to mix, but I love using those colors! If I had one or the other, I could quickly add blue or green to have both shades. Another convenience color I'd choose is probably coral. I totally agree about the white!

@CamilliasCreativeCorner 4 месяца назад

What excellent timing these paint colour videos are! I bought my very first set of watercolors a couple of years ago and have finally hit pan on a couple colors and completely used up one color. It is a Senellier 1/2 pan 24 color travel set and I've lost the colour name sheet. The colour I have used up is ultramarine blue! So that answers that question. The next most used color is something like your pink/rose, a warm red, then cool and warm yellow, and a sap or olive green, and lastly paynes grey. I have been painting mostly costal scenes seas and skies.

@ChantelleArts 4 месяца назад

hookers green is such a great shade! I recently got cascade green from daniel smith and that one is absolutely gorgeous too 🥰

@joymiller9668 4 месяца назад

Cad yellow is bright and clean, and more versatile than other yellows and if you want otherwise go with 2 yellow by adding the transparent nickel Azo yellow.

@francinebrown1944 4 месяца назад

I love the amazing color mixes. I'm excited to try these out. I do love carmine for a deep red. Thanks Emma!

@kristinegoetsch8009 25 дней назад

I love the challenge of using a limited palette. Color mixing is so much fun and you can mix so many colors. When I first started watercolor, I bought a whole lot of colors. As I progressed I bought a lot fewer colors and mixed my own. Just off the top of my head, I would include violeto from Maimari Blu, hansa yellow, indanthrene blue, hooker’s green, and maybe permanent rose. Great mixing ideas.

@mrsfrench847 4 месяца назад

@judymcgimpsey787 4 месяца назад

@mjpete27 4 месяца назад

Hullo Emma, I have never been able to recommend 5 colors 6 has been the best options for beginners! Never a green, that is a bold choice, but I do not know how good of an idea that is for beginners. I have told a person to try yellow ocher rather than a medium or deep yellow, but the best options have been the warm and cool version of primaries. I have done a magenta rather than an Alizerin Crimson for a cool red. I like switching between French Ultramarine and a more regular PB29 Ultramarine and Indanthrene or Anthraquinone Blue for the cool blue! I did enjoy watching you mix your colors in this video, I have more yellows as I like mixing greens and avoiding convenience greens, I have purchased the new Denise's Green from DaVinci and it is on most every palette I own. I just like it and its mixing capabilities as well as supporting a friend.

@brightonrosie 3 месяца назад

I often take two colours just to see how many different colours I can make from them. Mixing the two colour chart misses out all the potentials of colours just like you video beautifully demonstrates

@kraznia 2 месяца назад

My favorite "convenience" color (single pigment so is it really a "convenience" color, lol?) is Perylene Violet from W&N. It's my current favorite for mixing shadow values. My green is one of the pthalo greens, I go back and forth between PG7 and PG36. Either green mixed with a warm deep orange-brown like PBr25 (DS Perm Brown) or DV's Burnt Sienna Deep (PR101) makes my favorite dark green mix I have nicknamed "Vandyke Green" (I'm sure I stole the name from someone else). I premix my own pan of it for my travel palette since I use it so much. Pthalo greens are more work in a limited palette, always mixing, but so useful and strong.

@TheClutterLady 3 месяца назад

This is such a helpful video! I get overwhelmed if I have too many art supplies to choose from, so I don't paint as much. But I will keep these in mind for when I use up some of my paints and am looking for some upgrades. Thank you! I also enjoy mixing colors, so I don't need as many anyway. 😊

@jennw6809 2 месяца назад

Nickel Azo Yellow PY150 (which Winsor & Newton calls Transparent Yellow) is unquestionably my pick for a single yellow. It's the most transparent yellow there is, and it is amazing spattered wet in wet because of how it pushes other pigments out of the way. It's like dropping fairy lights into your painting. I do love cadmium yellow, but it's fully opaque. I love Qor Hooker's Green... you really ought to try Qor sometime. Also I'd go with an earth tone in this selection - I like Raw Umber because it's hard to mix a cool brown but it's easy to warm it up. And then you could make greys. Since people can't buy just one Shinhan tube, it'd be good for you to give pigment numbers in this video. I believe that Shinhan permanent red is PR254. Phthalo Blue Red Shade is PB15:6. Quin Rose is PV19 although that one is tricky since there's a ton of variants on that pigment.

Question for u…. - Should I buy both whites or do I just need PW6? - And are all brands of white basically the same? - I use DS, W&N, QOR and I’m going to buy a few M.Graham to try. I love my D.S., but they het SO hard when put in pans! ▫️ Sorry for the novel ‼️ Ha!Ha! But ya know how it is. Later 🙋🏻‍♂️ & Good Vid‼️‼️

@UJB123 2 месяца назад

Must have "Burnt Sienna" & "Yellow Ochre" on my end. Pyrrol Red, Cerulean Blue, Sap Green. I also like Indo (really long word) Blue. Titanium White for sidewalks and such. It depends on what you mostly paint, yes? I generally do urban sketching near a major US city. Not many flowers there. However, if I go to the Arboretum, I'd be sure to have a Pink such as Rhodonite (DS), a Transparent Orange (WN), and a Lemon Yellow. 5 Colors : White, Black, Blue, Red, Yellow. Use Black & White if you want. I do it all the time. Never let other peoples personal opinions become your reality. They'll pigeon hole you.

Haha So, if you’re not looking for mud and the colors are directly opposite from each other on the color wheel, steer clear! 😉
