Today I’m sharing 6 of the weirdest watercolors ever by Van Gogh. They are very strange but when mixed together create such a wonderfully intriguing palette of colors. Let me introduce them then create a color mixing chart so you can see the beauty hidden inside. Sit back and enjoy, thank you for joining me!

The colors you mixed remind me of beautiful rich velvets. They would look gorgeous for an autumn wedding..less traditional but represents a more nature inspired palette. Loved all of these Kelly 😊

What a wonderful suggestion and the richness of the velvet texture would be perfect with this palette. Glad you enjoyed the weirdness Laura!

Yay another video! What a nice way to relax on the couch after mowing the grass in 101 degree heat. Thank you for sharing. 😊

Crazy heat for mowing, glad I let you cool off for a while LOL Thank you for watching!

My favorite is the last line, greens. And using all, I see the northern lights! Beautiful pallette.

The northern lights, what a great inspiration for this palette. Thank you for the beautiful suggestion Maureen!

Interesting colors/mixes! I have started doing mixing charts using your method as it really shows more colors.

@kellyhoernig 25 күн бұрын

It is just a slight change but I agree, you get to enjoy more variations of color this way. Thank you for watching!

I have all these van Gogh colours, except the oxide black, which I've now ordered! I love the way you do your mixing swatches and am slowly working through my collection doing the swatches your way. It's really fun, but I have yet to master your water flicking technique, but I'll keep at it in the hope that I'll get there in the end...

@kellyhoernig 25 күн бұрын

You are going to love the Oxide Black, it is so delightful watching the color mixes have that little touch of granulation because of it. Glad you found my swatch style so inspiring, yeah!

Granulating watercolours are so fascinating.

These swatches are gorgeous! My favourites are the Dusk Green mixes. They look like a row of different conifer branches with the effect of the water splashes.🌲💚🌲

It is such a unique color, isn't it? Bright yet nice and rich for darks, one of my favorites in this group.

Beautifully ‘weird’ AND affordable!! 🙌🏻🙌🏻

@kellyhoernig 23 күн бұрын

Very affordable which is why I love this line of watercolor, great colors too!

@craftykat 25 күн бұрын

These are really gorgeous colors. I like the way they look almost marbleized when you flick the water on them. They sort of remind me of the Derwent Graphitint paint pans.

@kellyhoernig 25 күн бұрын

They are incredible with the splashes for sure, so much depth and texture that just make me happy. I don't have the DG paint pans but now that you said this, I want to look into them. Thank you for watching!

Yum! I just ordered the same colours. The Van Gogh brand is very reasonably priced in Australia. Thanks for sharing Kelly (-: Marion 🎉

@kellyhoernig 24 күн бұрын

It is reasonably priced in the US as well and I absolutely love the quality of their watercolor. Glad you will get to play with these weird yet wonderful colors!

Beautiful. I learned on Van Gogh... i started with Cotman but always thought my pieces looked dull and amaturist and that drying shift is awful (i do still like cotman mauve, indian red and turquoise). But once i tried Van Gogh, i gave a lot more time to paint.... I have since moved on to professional, but my portable painter will always be van gogh for tribute, lol. It was a good move to add these dusk colors to the van gogh line. I like using dusk pink in some of my mixed professional palettes.

@kellyhoernig 25 күн бұрын

I love that you still have them in your portable painter. VG raw sienna is on my permanent palette, I just can't find a brand I like better. Thanks for watching!

Beautiful, so enjoyable! I need to mix some colors now. ❤

Thank you and I'm glad it has inspired you to play and experiment with color!

The dusk colours already contain oxide black. It's what makes them dusk as it were. It's useful to buy a tube if oxide black too so you can alter the amount on the dusk colours.

@kellyhoernig 17 күн бұрын

I forgot to mention that, thank you. I purchased the Oxide Black to mix with my other colors for the granulation, it is a lovely combination.

@paintingtheskykingdom9005 24 күн бұрын

i need to see these used in a painting. I will have to check your channel. I have to admit I don't like swatching videos without a painting example, but you came up on my feed so I thought I'd watch. you did a good job at swatching though

@kellyhoernig 24 күн бұрын

It is all about the swatching and color mixing, not about the finished project. I want to encourage you diving into your palettes and seeing what they will do for you. Thanks for watching!

Wow. If we would only take more time to explore with the paints we have rather than to chase that new color.

@kellyhoernig 24 күн бұрын

Yes, pull them out and pick the ones that don't even look like they belong together. Those combinations are where the real magic happens. Enjoy and thanks for watching!
