You made me laugh out loud and I see there are 7 raised hands - thank you for the suggestion! I love the idea and have plenty more where this came from.
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.
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
At first didn’t want to “waste” my good paper, as a beginner & learning to mix do use more paint than feel should? Then saw if don’t practice on paper going to use for final painting (get used to the cellulose paper) then try good cotton & feels all new (each paper) has different strengths & weakness. Nice to have a good grey base but often mix my own grey’s. If was a millionaire yes love those colors!
@@appleknocker56 paper does make a huge difference in color, application and learning how to move it (lift, mask, etc) as you want. A lot of people feel this is the most important thing when doing watercolor, the paper.
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!!! ❤❤❤❤
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.
Value is just a lighter or darker tone of the color. Here's a simple way to create value with a color. Draw 5 boxes. In the first box use the watercolor with hardly any water, this is called a masstone. For the next box, add a touch of water and mix well. For the remaining boxes keep adding water to the mix and fill them in. You should get a gradual dark to light value scale from this exercise. Happy experimenting!
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
OMG, I would love to collaborate with Holbein because their weird colors are my favorite! Can you imagine the colors we could create LOL? For my courses, I always suggest you use the watercolors you already have. I always share my exact colors/brands that I use but you don't need them for my classes. That being said, in Cultivated Color, I would say to use the colors/brand just so you see the same results I get in my sketchbook.
@@kellyhoernigI definitely agree with her! I think if the clarity of your videos like this were clear like others, you would most certainly get a chance at that with them. I mean I know you record at 720p but everything is still blurry. Even if you zoom in on mobile in either landscape or portrait mode (not sure if anyone knew you could do that with the update) but the writing and everything else is blurry. Love your channel! I hope they do collabs with you ❤
@@missparadise879 thank you for your comments but I'm in the country with a little better than dial up for the internet and this is the best I can do at the moment.
😮 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. ❤
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.
Thank you so much for your comments and welcome to In the Studio! Yes to buff titanium, such a staple in my palette and I'm thrilled I could show you some tips for using it over and over again.
No need to buy more colors, although these are extremely lovely. The challenge is to see what weird yet wonderful colors you already have and explore those in your mixing!
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.
I am so happy that you found the answer to making color charts YEAH! Buff will do amazing things to all the colors, it is one of my favorite all time mixers so have fun exploring it. For the granulating colors, just make sure to use water, that is what makes them so magical - room to spread and granulate. No formal rules here, just go with your gut and pick the colors that speak to you. It is the best way to choose a unique palette.
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.😊
Daniel Smith has some great "weird" colors as well. Rare earth green, hematite violet genuine, lavender, sleeping beauty, opera pink, moonglow, aussie red gold are just a few from the top of my head. Try the lavender, sleeping beauty and opera pink with all of your greens, they are game changers for neutralizing and making them more organic looking. Welcome to In the Studio!
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 the pandas too and my little rest collection is growing as we speak. I just added a hippo on a log OMG, it is the cutest thing ever. Thanks for liking my thumbnail so much and spending time with me In the Studio!
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. ❤️❤️❤️
You made me laugh out loud with your comments, so fun! Glad you found the mixing chart explanations helpful and hope it makes it easier for your next color chart.
I did a whole comparison of different brands of shell pink if you want to search my channel for it. They were all just a little different. You are going to love it for mixing!
Shell Pink is a beautiful color. I did a color comparison of a couple brands on my channel if you want to see differences between them. Thanks for watching!
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
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.)
The splashing does get all over but with me taping and rinsing off the color from my brush there is enough time for it to not be so messy with water. When not taping I can usually do 3 squares before splashing, just depends on how fast you paint.
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.
I would use a primary set you love to use because these colors will mute them all down when mixed with them. I don't have any other Holbein's except for these weird ones so I can really recommend any by their brand, sorry.
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
@@kellyhoernig yeah! Holbein is the only one who offers it. It is a pigment I had never heard of called PBK 1… It granulates, and it has this weird property where if you lift it off with paper towel it leaves behind a pinkish tone, which is where I think they got the peach name. The other tones that very within the different strengths are bluish… They call it a warm black that dilutes to a warm gray, but I find it really interesting with its color changing strangeness! Even stranger, it is actually light fast, which is not a common property in pigments that color change, usually associated with dyes:-) absolutely you should check it out!
@@creativesolutionstoart the pinkish undertones sounds a lot like Daniel Smith's Hematite Violet Genuine which is one of my most favorite colors. Thank you for letting me know more about it!
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!
Thank you for sharing your love of "dirty" colors! I have made a long art career out of being different because of my muted, muddy color palettes in acrylics, colored pencils and now watercolors. From one muddy artist to another, welcome to In the Studio!
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
Mixing is a definite style and I'm so happy you are on your way to finding your color palette. I mix with a lot of complementary colors because of the muted tones it gives me. And thanks for the great description of dreamy yet almost gloomy quality - it's perfect for these weirdo colors!
Oh wow, congratulations on the set of 40, so much discovery to be done with that! You can find Deanna's link in the video description box under Handmade Sketchbook. Happy shopping, hope you find something wonderful on her site!
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. 😂 27:2042:35
I am trying to keep the horizontal row more to the color everything is mixing with. So it isn't about using more of that color, it is about keeping it to the tone of the color. So in the Mars Violet row, I want everything it is mixing with to be on a violet tone. On the Yellow Grey row, keep the color mixes on the yellow tone. This way allows you to see more colors emerging on your color charts. Let me know if this helps explain it more for you.
@@ashleywright8686 you are very welcome! The splashes are all because I like my paintings to have a lot of texture and this achieves it quite quickly.

I have to agree with you, the colour swatches are absolutely divine. Thank u for sharing ❤
Thank you for loving the weirdness too!
I never thought to flick water on swatches instead of doing a gradation, it makes a very pretty and interesting texture.
Thank you so much and I'm glad you find my splashing interesting like I do, hope you will give it a try!
I agree! I've always done the gradiation, splashing is way more interesting and easier!

I can see your early autumn paintings with these colors! So pretty!
They would be gorgeous with this palette for sure, thanks for watching!
The shell pink and yellow grey could be really lovely in a portrait for skintone variation in a warm toned golden or peachy complextion
I totally agree, they create such lovely tones together.

@@kellyhoernig thank you for welcoming me! I've been watching for a while, I just never comment 😂🖤
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
Mixing is a definite style and I'm so happy you are on your way to finding your color palette. I mix with a lot of complementary colors because of the muted tones it gives me. And thanks for the great description of dreamy yet almost gloomy quality - it's perfect for these weirdo colors!
Happy Northern Lights morning everyone 😍
What a beautiful greeting and I'm so jealous! I have only seen the northern lights twice in my life. Enjoy the beauty!
@@kellyhoernig oh the dancing sky just from our deck last night in the PNW. 😍 never thought I would see it in real life.
@@marlbboro8091 I saw it in Indiana twice, it is truly magical!
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! ❤
Oh wow, congratulations on the set of 40, so much discovery to be done with that! You can find Deanna's link in the video description box under Handmade Sketchbook. Happy shopping, hope you find something wonderful on her site!
Unbelievable. I thought you lost it! Lol😊
Nope, didn't lose it, just welcomed you into my weird world LOL
Yes please!
So fun, thank you!
You could record that storm and sell it!
You are too funny Kathy LOL
Isn’t the shadow green just perylene green ?
It does resemble it, but this brand seems a little bluer in tone compared to my other brands of perylene green.
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 am trying to keep the horizontal row more to the color everything is mixing with. So it isn't about using more of that color, it is about keeping it to the tone of the color. So in the Mars Violet row, I want everything it is mixing with to be on a violet tone. On the Yellow Grey row, keep the color mixes on the yellow tone. This way allows you to see more colors emerging on your color charts. Let me know if this helps explain it more for you.
@@kellyhoernig TYSM! ❤️🌷 Those are lovely colors, and the finger-flicking of water is genius.
@@ashleywright8686 you are very welcome! The splashes are all because I like my paintings to have a lot of texture and this achieves it quite quickly.
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
I always list each color in the video description box so you know exactly what I'm using. Thanks for the suggestion though!
Raised hand
You are too funny but there have been so many raised hands I'm already putting together a list to explore.
