Color mixing is magic and will significantly improve your watercolor painting. In my last video we learned how to mix neutrals from our primary colors, now let's use those colors to create soft and subtle mountain landscape as we practice flat washes and layering.
I'll show you my three favorite primary colors to use. Phthalo blue, Quinacridone Magenta and Diarylide yellow. We'll also throw in some black for good measure. This is a great exercise for beginners!

Wonderful. I think you will enjoy it. It can be very relaxing to do this exercise.

@annavernick1490 Жыл бұрын

very serene! I think I'll set up several papers so I can create new abstracts while the paint dries. Get a series happening. Love the simplicity.

It's always great when you can have multiple pieces going, especially when you are in a creative flow and just don't want to stop.

Thank you for these videos! Still a beginner & not great drawing artist. Know patience, right color choice, paint consistency all matter & try to move quickly as if paper drys & try to “fix” just don’t! Love mixing colors. Ty. 😊

Thanks for watching Paula. Trying to “fix” it before it sets is always what gets folks in trouble. 😁 keep practicing and you will see improvement in no time.

Thank you for this neat little mountain tutorial. The biggest tip I took away today is that it's okay to add water to Dr. PH Martin's Bleedproof White. I often use it for making single stars in a night sky because it was too thick to do anything else with. I had no idea. LOL

Just curious. Your first was was on dry paper or had you wet it first before doing the first wash?

@shanacirce2667 4 ай бұрын

I believe this one was dry for each layer including the first.

@@shanacirce2667 thank you! I’ve only ever done the first layer wet on wet or with like a bead of water. So I was curious and will try your tutorial. Love the paint mixing. It something I’ve really tried so excited to do it. Thank you for responding and putting up tutorials!
