Raise your hand if you would love a weekly or monthly edition of Kelly’s Weirdly Wonderful Colors? ❤❤❤

I never thought to flick water on swatches instead of doing a gradation, it makes a very pretty and interesting texture.

useful to see the unusual holbein mixes being mixed even further. i also like how your splashing effect gives random - non brushed - shapes and tints. thanks for this.

YESSSSSS!!!! Their Davy's Grey is a staple on my palettes, also the Green Grey, the Shell Pink, and the Yellow Grey! I haven't tried their Mars Violet or Dusk Green yet but I will have to pick those up, like, tomorrow!🤣🤣 Sometimes when I know I want to create something, but just can't think of what to do (aka art block) I do charts of random color mixes, sometimes I close my eyes and dig around in piles of watercolor tubes I put on the ground around me! It's not a waste, it's education.

Oh these colors are to die for! I don’t have Mars Violet - but I could try to mix it. I think I have something from Kuretake that could pass for yellow grey. I will have to make this color chart. Bring on the weird colors!!! ❤❤❤❤

I've never thought splashing my palette! Thank you for the great idea.

The shell pink and yellow grey could be really lovely in a portrait for skintone variation in a warm toned golden or peachy complextion

This color chart is a work of art unto itself... Thanks!

As always, it is pure joy to watch you mix. I have been pulling the 'weirdest' combinations of colors I could pick and making swatch cards ever since I saw you doing this in your videos. The results are absolutely delightful and yes - it makes me a better artist. "Wasting paint???" Pfffffft! It is part of the creating and learning process! Experimenting is NEVER a waste to me! Keep on mixing, my friend! xo

I raise my hand.. looking at this is art… beautiful!

I know in watercolor you are told to mix colors and paint but seriously Holbein should do a collab with you to make a special color palette. I would purchase it for sure! Also when purchasing a class from you do we need exact brand and colors for the color mixing? Thanks for another great teaching video. I'm in love. lol

I can see your early autumn paintings with these colors! So pretty!

That’s really interesting how much you can get from just 6 colors! And I don’t think they’re weird, they are pretty just out of the tubes, but it’s mesmerizing how many variations they can turn into. One thing that I’d love to hear you talk about on another video is value - I think I can understand the concept for black and white, but with colors I am a bit lost.

Kelly so glad I found you! Love your perspective and your teaching style!

I like your approach to color mixing and charting. It makes more sense to me this way.

I have learned so much from watching this video, my colour mixing charts always somehow go wrong about half way through, I know now that I was not approaching them right, you make it very very logical. By absolute coincidence I recently -a couple of weeks ago- ordered seven colours that almost correspond to yours, except there is a buff titanium and some of them granulate. Obviously already granulating colours will be more difficult to mix, but I definitely love the colour range and potential of this kind of selection, the gorgeous natural green for me are their biggest attraction. I have never used Holbein but really like their softer more muted colours. I like artists who will break some of the formal colour rules and use the pastel or lights creatively too. Thanks so much for this video, it was a delight.

Very beautiful green tone love it. I will buy too.

No ugly colors here. The colors are beautiful. Every color has it's purpose. Muted included. lol Sherwin Williams should hire you as a colorist.

Love this. Hand raised.

These new “Weird “ colors are now on my Amazon list!!! They are Gorgeous ❤️

Gorgeous colours ❤

I love Shell pink already. Off to pick up the others to try!!

Going to follow along and do this exercise with paints on order. Never tried Holbein watercolors!

Love that second row.

I thought i was done buying paint, that i got all the colors i want... then i see these combinations. These are mind blowing! Very nice!

Beautiful!

New subscriber here. I love your very in depth exploration of various colors/brands. On another video of yours I finally learned what to do with buff titanium! That color has been untouched in my watercolor paint collection for several years. Oh and the video you did using the Esse palette you created, caused me to buy the Arts and Crafts set plus a few others in that brand. I'm excited to try them! I think they will be a fine addition to my growing collection of paint.

your chart once done looked like multi coloured crushed velvet :D And ty you have encoouraged me to do the same as you and make a 100 day paint book from another video, I have a lot of little favourite bits and pieces around my place

😮 Wow! The color swatching process you use really opened my eyes to a realm of so many new color possibilities! It also looks fun & relaxing at the same time. I look forward to swatching my paints with more enthusiasm.Thanks for sharing. ❤

Thank you. Very enjoyable.

Such pretty colors. I may have to start a Holbein muted palette.

Thank you for this demo. I finally figured out how you make your charts. It finally dawned on me how perfect this is.

These really are beautiful. Thank you for showing them off!❤

These are so cool, what a wonderful selection ☺☺

I love your colors. I only have Daniel Smith. I'm sure I can try mixing with my colors, I have many. Or I could buy your few Holbine. . I do love your colors. I primarily paint landscape. Thank you for this demo.😊

Love these videos.

When I saw the thumbnail in my recommended I had to click right away because I also have cute ceramic chopstick rests as brush rests on my art desk! In my case it is pandas. :) Great minds think alike! That thumbnail was so beautiful!

I love that the splashing brings out the whole range of values for each mix. I’ll have to fiddle with it but it seems like each adjacent square would get more and more splashes and end up counterproductive. Thanks for this! (And any suggestions about the splashing bit would be really helpful to me.)

Oh you are naughty making me want to buy these 😛❤️. My random tubes/pans from brands are all unusual/pre-mixed/ weird colours ! Oh no as I was typing you mentioned the magic words ‘very weird’. Ok wallet get ready to lose some money! Thank you thank you thank you for explaining your colour chart methodology so precisely even with these colours. I get overwhelmed by colour chart videos and as a beginner can’t follow. ❤️❤️❤️

Beautiful colors. Holbein has been g thing my attn more and more lately.

Stunning!❤

I’m in art school right now and it makes me so nervous when professors ask classmates which paints they use in their works because I mix all my colors with just cool and warm primaries. It hasn’t gotten any complaints so far, though-in fact, I get a lot of compliments on my color palettes, so I think I’m alright for now! I do plan on experimenting with different pigments at some point, but for now I’m focused on learning what the basic colors do together first. I adoreee the palette these colors made btw. I don’t paint landscapes but there’s a very dreamy and almsot gloomy quality that I love

This is my first time to your channel and I'm so glad that you came up in my suggestions. I am new to watercolor although I do paint in other mediums my primary medium is to use colored pencil in a way that turns it into a painting. I do photorealistic animals in pencil and in acrylic I work very realistic animals although not photorealistic. I used to paint landscapes in oil many many many many many many years ago and due to health problems I have had to stop doing that. So now I am venturing into watercolor. I miss painting landscapes very much they were so relaxing for me. So I am beginning to acquire in very few artists grade watercolors. I'm physically disabled and so finances don't allow me to just jump in and get things that I would so love to get. I am so grateful to see your color mixes because they are more natural to doing landscapes and seascapes as well as to working backgrounds for animals. I hope to be able to learn to use watercolor for animals as well. This color mix that you have shown is so beneficial for me because I live in Phoenix Arizona and the greens and purples that you have come up with are just pure to our native colors. I am definitely your newest subscriber and I will be watching the things from the past that I have missed.

Unbelievable. I thought you lost it! Lol😊

I need to know where the dog paint brush holder came from!!! That is so cute! I really want to get one

Really awesome! Thanks for the share! I just purchased the set of 40. Yes, big gift for myself! How do we find DEANNA on ETSY? Have a blessed day! ❤

Yes please!

Happy Northern Lights morning everyone 😍

You could record that storm and sell it!

i love this combinaison of color i want to try , witch yellow , red , and bleu would you use to complete it ...? thank you !

So many artists always talk about "dirty" colors...or "muddy" colors. It's so nice to see that there are other people who love those colors as much as I do! I'm not a fan of bright colors, unless I need it to make another color "dirty" or "muddy"... 😂🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️ I was also born in the 80s and grew up in the 90s...so black and dark moody colors were my thing 🫣 I used to always use them when I'd do my makeup. I became a licensed and certified makeup artist/cosmetologist. So many people would come to me for those types of looks since most makeup artists won't do "dirty" looks. That sounded bad, but y'all get it 🤦🏻‍♀️😂🤫 anyway, once I started making custom furniture, guess what. I either keep the wood natural, put some stain on it...or paint it a "dirty" color I mix myself 😂 it really surprises me that more artists (obviously not the "pure" ones) don't like muddy colors. 🫤 I feel like they get such a bad rap. Thank you for sharing all of your amazing mixes with us!

Isn’t the shadow green just perylene green ?

GREAT COLORS... HOWEVER, you might want to use a darker marker to call out the colors on your chart.... we cant see what you have right now too light

When you say you want to “keep it on the Mars violet side” (or any color), do you mean you’re using more of that color? For some reason, I’m having trouble comprehending your color chart graph. It’s me not you. 😂 27:20 42:35

I thought for sure you were going to have their weirdest color, peach black :-) it’s my favorite for monochromatic studies with all its tone variations and Lift ability… I’m gonna have to try the Mars violet
