    I had no confidence until you came along. I have learned watercolor from you only. Your personality makes me feel like whatever I do is okay. Thanks

    First, yes, fabulous exercise in pallette because I think I "know" the outcome and was pleasantly surprised with being wrong. Also, by swatching pallette colors, it can help with using colors in other crafts, besides painting. I do yarn crafting with crochet & knit, and it's important to understand why/how the colors play with each other. BTW, love your personality and the way you teach and talk. Thank you for what you do!!

    I don't think you are capable of making a boring video. I loved this video, thanks for teaching us an easy way to mix colors!!! Cant wait to play around with this method.

    Honestly, even if you were teaching us the most boring subject in the world…I’d be here for it! I love your personality and humor and I love watching any video you make. Now I want to go paint 🎨

    I love this instruction. Creating cohesive color palettes is a new concept to me. Following this demonstration, I created five color palettes that I love. I'm going to keep making them. Each one sparks a new idea for how I can use it in a project.

    I loved this exercise. I was feeling so sad because my daughter and 10-year-old grandson are moving away, but got so absorbed in color mixing that I forgot about it for a little while! Thank you for the happy respite.🥰

    It’s beautiful and no, it was not too much. I watched a somewhat similar (but not as fun!) video with a mother colour and this makes so much sense to me. It’s the perfect way to create colour harmony on the page.
    I’m a bit like you, in that I’m not sciencey, but you did a great job of making my brain . Thank you!

    Just keep going is what I keep saying as I watch...lol :) As an English teacher, I've been pushing the arts in my district for almost 10 years now. As a rural county, we have very little money for the "extras", so the arts often get lost. I am in NO way an artist, but I do have an enrichment class where I have a combo of 9th - 12th graders and we do a lot of visual arts. We love your videos! So many great ideas that help me teach them art skills with my limited art training . And yes, you need to make something with one of those; start with your fave :)

    I remember in college I had to do an entire stack of these exercises but in acrylic, one for each base color. We mixed with each color of the assigned palette and then four variants each with black and white to fill out the grid. It was a semester-long project and I was so sick of it at the time! Still, it makes an excellent reference and I still have them in a binder L O L

    This video was really fun to watch. I wasn't home where my paints were, so all i could do first was to watch. Once I got home, I rewarched and followed along in my sketchbook. It's great to see all the different mixes, especially when i need a certain color, I can refer back to the chart we made. I love it! Thanks for doing this, Andrea!! ❤

    First, that was the most fascinating and relaxing exercise in color. Truly delightful! Second, what a low stress yet highly rewarding watercolor adventure! It's a bit like alchemy art. Lastly, PLEASE do some art pieces with those coordinating palettes, especially the Lake Green collection and the Indigo. And the Paynes Grey. Okay, and the Ultramarine, please. (and the Fuchsia) WONDERFUL video!!! Thank you.
