Mixing Greys in Watercolour

  • This is a fun exercise that is great for exploring colour mixing, AND you have a pretty little painting at the end. In this video, I used a different two-colour mix for each stone. I also added a highlight in Raw Umber to each stone to tie them all together. You can mix an infinite amount of interesting greys by using colours that are complementary, or are close to being complementary, to each other on the colour wheel. Thank you for watching!

    What perfect timing! I was struggling to mix neutrals yesterday during my paint session and this exercise is such a perfect opportunity to slow down and experiment. I’m going to give it a go, but with a focus on neutral, desaturated greens and blues. Thank you!

    Wow I am so blown away by the depth, detail & variety of colors you were able to produce. In just this short video you’ve taught me so much. If only my drawing looked even a third as nice as yours does. For some reason as soon as I pick up a pencil, my hand turns into a club! My fine motor skills when drawing are atrocious so I’ve embraced “abstract “ as my genre 😂. Thank you for the color lesson, I can’t wait to try these out. With much respect & appreciation from Austin, Tx.

    Yaaay! That was fun. Loved it! 🥰
    I adore muted tones, so mixing grays is one of my favourite meditations. 😁
    Bl+br is number one combination, and also love violet undertone of cool greens and cool reds mixtures.
    Btw, Mayan blue is wonderful, but it has problems with light fastness. 🙄

    • @AnastasiaMily
      @AnastasiaMily  2 роки тому

      Thank you Maria 😊 It is, indeed, a way to meditate!!
      Thank you for mentioning the lightfastness of Mayan Blue. Funnily enough, I haven’t used it much since I bought a long time ago it as I somehow never connected with it the way I have connected with other blues…

    Very cool! I actually have a picture of a stack of rocks on a beach. You've given me the perfect way to paint them. Thank you for the tutorial! BTW, what brand of Payne's Grey are you using? Yours seems more blue than mine.

    • @AnastasiaMily
      @AnastasiaMily  2 роки тому

      Thank you so much Denise😊 I use Art Spectrum which is an Australian brand. I do find that Payne’s Grey pigment mixes vary between brands…
      Have fun painting the stone stacks!

  • @twicebittenthasme5545
    @twicebittenthasme5545 Рік тому +1

    Lovely and lifelike. Seeing these in the wild saddens me, though. People moving a lot of stones around to make these must not realize they're disturbing the environment. The creatures they displace are as vital to the ecosystem as everything else and after any festival, there will be many of these stacked by so-called helpers/protectors of the environment. Shame.
    Nice video, anyway, as I use a cell phone to view and comment...not too hypocritical.

    • @AnastasiaMily
      @AnastasiaMily  Рік тому +1

      It’s an interesting point of view, and one I haven’t encountered before - thank you for sharing. Stone cairns have been used for a very long time to mark the way, a signpost of sorts. In the times of GPS navigation being available at our fingertips, those cairns obviously do not carry that purpose anymore. And yet, everything we do leaves a mark. Picking up shells at the beach, rearranging stones… having a burger for dinner, driving a car, mining minerals to make screens we watch UA-cam on. The list is endless.
