You touch on all the subjects a beginner really needs- thank you so much for your long and generous tutorial videos! Love the long ones, and so glad you are not one of the ‘speed up “ video teachers. 🙏

I was just telling a friend I was on the fence about getting a pallet with all kinds of colors, or learning more about mixing my own..a day or two later, this video shows up. Wow! This was so much info I'd wondered about for so long! I can't thank you enough❤. You are a true gift from God

I find your tutorials extremely informative and helpful. I am new to watercolor as of 2020 ~ making my way via tutorials on KZfaq. Your lessons provide much needed knowledge. This one in particular was very rewarding to watch. Thank you Shelley.

Hallo Shelley. My name is Petra and I`m from Germany-Bavaria.I`m so happy I discovered you. Your tips are unique and you are a great artist. I hope that with you and your videos my painting will improve. When I compare the reference photos with your watercolors, I love your pictures more, they have a soul.😍

Wonderful information! You answered questions I didn’t know I even had.

Shelley, this tutorial was so interesting and informative! Thank you for sharing. Helene

Love your videos. I learn so much everytime I watch. You were born to teach. Thank you for sharing your time and knowlledge.

Thank you for this video. The information was excellent - it answered a heap of questions for me including some I hadn't even thought to ask.

What a brilliant idea......going to make these colour cards . Thank you. x

Thanks Shelley. I had read that adding a few drops of gum arabic to my fresh water would help to bring some shine to my painting. I must have been too generous with it for I found that I went back to my palette dsys later and found my paints had been spoiled. They were all gummy! My advice to others would be to add the gum arabic to the fresh water very sparingly.

Excellent info that I needed 4 yrs ago when I started hoarding paints. 🙈

Amazingly informative (for me) thankyou so much Shelley.

Thanks!

Just found your video…Such helpful information you give! Thanks

I love your videos! Much appreciated!

this is soo valuable! knowing yr paints. ;-) I wont go as far as you go.. however learned a lot XX Thank you from the Netherlands.

I have a 12 granulating color palette by white nights and all the colors are near black in the pan ... on paper all this is very colorful, pretty and effectful if you use enough, more or less water :) I like these spezial effects colors and the colortheme very much ... that´s why I wanted to have all 22 of this brand and I have a lot of fun with them. there are also few one pigmented granulating colors , like perylene violett, brown, ultramarin, cobalt blue, marsblack/iron-oxide, cadmium red light and so on and they are also very interessting in my opinion to mix what you want... 😃

Thanks so much, Shelley ;)

I have broken my wrist….dominant hand so cannot paint so I am working my way through your wonderful videos……this is such an important one to study…..makes sooooooo much sense! Thank you Shelley although I am chomping at the bit to paint again!

Did these and found them very helpful. Use the cards all the time 😊

very informative! Thank you very much!!!!

HELLO FROM NEW JERSEY....AM LEARNING SO MUCH FROM YOUR VIDEOS

Thank you for this video. It is very helpful.

Love your video!. This video on color is very helpful. Can you tell me where to purchase the cards for creating color samples? Many thanks!

what did you use for label on palette? you can get paper with dots of paint to try before buying the tube by each manufacturer

Is it possible to get the names of the paint s on your color chart pallet and an image of how you organized them. This was a wonderful lesson.

Where did you get that palette? I like that it organizes paints like the colour wheel.

All your videos (except fhis one) are great. Warm and cool colour description - you changed your mind and ended up making a mistake unfortunately. (I could talk and read distracting comments at the same time!) Blue heading towards greens then yellows are cooler. Heading towards red/purple are warmer.

Good day!

Do you use the same brand of brushes for your flat brushes (Biaelk)? Thank you

Could you advise what you used for the black stripe on your colour strips please?

When you wet the palette every time you paint does it water down the pigment the next time you do it?

Is that a porcelain palette? Did you make it? I’m “palette picky” and am considering making my own

Hue doesn't mean mixture necessarily does it? It's a substitute true.

Do you always use a white matte?

I have noticed that some colors have lost their granulating capability when they are remanufactured as a hue.

I am embarrassed to say how many pallets I have and like so many others I also have bought every color of multiple makers 😮.

Are all your Davinci pints transparent? Or are some opaque?

Student grade paints have all the information. It could be they have a different filler and slightly less pigment, cheaper pigment or imitation, sometimes coloring (even more bright and transparent, but not lightfast). What you are talking about is a craft paints, not artist paints. Student grade Cotman, Van Gogh , White Nights even, Grumbatcher Academy is a nice one. I don't see much difference from Daniel Smith, they even have the same pigment numbers. Why not use for studies and safe some money. If you are selling your art, it's not a big deal to use professional paints.
