Let me know in the comments which is your favorite green and if you have any other recipes to share!
Very informative video. I'm gonna have to come back to I'd and actually mix the colors myself. My favorite green recipe has to be Green gold (PY 129) and Phtalo green blue shade (PG 7).
Thanks!
What a handy reference! I especially appreciated that you mentioned what actual plants you would use each color for, it made it easy to see how these colors could be useful.
I appreciated her references as well!!!
Truly appreciate your dedication to teaching watercolour. Your lessons are organized and clear. Thank you and keep well. 🎨🦋
You too, so glad you liked the video 🙂
I often travel down your older videos. You have so much information it is fantastic!!! Thank you Michele
You are so welcome!
My favorite is sage green. It mixes well with other colors. Real light sage is so appealing to me.
No one has helped me with mixing colors and understanding my pallette as much as you have!! Much appreciation!!
Happy to help!
Loved that last mixture. I will watch again with my pallet at-hand.
As a beginner I appreciate your lectures.Thank you for posting you videos.
Glad you like them!
I love spring greens, but all of these are great colors and very useful.
Thank you!
Wonderful tutorial. So much better than buying tubes of greens. Thank you.
Thanks so much Mary, glad it was helpful!
loved the lemon, cerulean and payne's combo for silvery green, going to use it for carnation foliage
I love lemon yellow and Cerulean blue mixes but they can separate on the paper ( flocculation rather than granulation) which can be good or bad depending on the look you are after. You mention cheaper student paints, but I have actually been a longtime fan of Cotman Cerulean blue hue as a mixing Cerulean when I don't want the distraction. I've used this particular colour for over 30 years and must get through about 2 large tubes a year. It is the only student colour I use. I loved your video and there were some new mixes I haven't tried... I must admit I love my greens, there are so many permutations.
So glad you liked the video Peter, interesting about Cotman Cerulean. I love the Talens Rembrandt one above any I have tried so far :-)
Thank you, Michele….I took notes.
Thank you Michele for sharing your knowledge of watercolors with everyone!
Any time Jean!
Best green tutorial I’ve seen.
Wow, thanks!
Very helpful. I’m told, by a professional painter friend, that he “ detests using greens”. How limiting! This is great and I’ll be making color charts, based on these. Thank you so very much...GREEN IS MY FAVORITE COLOR, so, I must understand mixing greens! How can we paint nature without all her many greens!
I love green too! Some people are not in tune with nature I guess!
I paint a lot of cactus and the silver grey-green was most helpful because you add a touch of lemon which makes all the difference!
I love cacti and succulents, plan to paint more in the future, yes it's definitely a good mix for them!
Suddenly this video appears on my phone... On my way to do sap green. ❤️ ❤️ ❤️
.
Very useful colors. I like landscapes and those greens are made for them. Going to write these down!
Good, very glad it's useful to you!
My favorite "pine" green is Pthalo Blue and Quinacridone Gold Deep. Prussian Blue and Cadmium Yellow is lovely too, though.
Great video! Coincidentally, I had just mentioned to a fellow painter, I wish I had a better grasp of mixing greens. Thanks, Michele!
Brilliant! Perhaps I am psychic :-)
A valuable presentation for watercolorists. Thank you.
You're very welcome!
Excellent information. I’m new to watercolor and I am always struggling with greens. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Sharon no problem 😀
Thank you for this video, as beginner I have been struggling mixing green colours. It's been a great help I'll will be doing a colour chart tomorrow :)
loved the last one
Thank you!
Hi Michelle, i'm new to your channel and i click on your channel soon as i saw the title of your tutorial because Green's all sort of Green's are all my fav. colors, on every pictures i paint or color you will found Green's some where, even if it's a portrait and don't really need green's on my colors palellet i will add some on the eyes,skin or hair but i can't tell you which Green's are my favorite because they all are absolutely Gorgeous! I,m so Glad having fond you here because i love painting with watercolors but i always have hard time to get satisfied or achieved a great result with this medium, I've take some classes when i was 18 years old and i was so impress by the talent of my teacher who was the Best Artist ever to paint Birds any kind of Birds on watercolors and she always told me you will be able to do the same AH! i wasen't believed that but sadly i had to stop taking teaching lessons with Her because of medical Issues i've got so know i have start with coloring for Adult and i've bought lots of Art supplies and only the Best Brands like Faber Castel Caran D'Ache Pablo Derwent and so much more and after 7 years of coloring i'm ready to gave it a try on watercolors again but i'm skared and always say OK. tomorrow i will start and all of my watercolors supplies stay on my Desk on my studio so that's why i'm more then please having click on your title today, i really enjoyed to watch and i have subscribed to all of your social media so maybee you are the key for help me gave it a try on this medium, Thank You so much for this fantastic tutorial on how to mix 10 Amazing Green's colors, i wen't to your channel and i will have so much fun to watch all of your tutorials and fingers cross that will make myself confident enough and really start painting watercolor??? Sorry for my long message to you, i ddin't realized i was so excited & thrilled anyway Big Thank's for doing these Amazing colors combo which are very helpful specially when you just start xx
Thanks so much for your message Sylvie. There is no need to worry about painting, just start. It's important not to have expectations at first of making a perfect painting. Making a lot of mistakes is just part of learning. At the end of each painting, just ask yourself if there is one little part of it you like, and that went well, in this way you progress. You only progress by making mistakes!
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber Thank You so much Michele for this great advice, i will gave it a try and let you know how that worked for me but for know i could tell you just by reading this Awesome tips well i feel more confident to start painting with watercolors, so Thank's a bunch i highly appreciated it xx
Thanks for the recipes, Michele. Also, thanks for explaining exactly what happens when viewers tap the interactive buttons on a post.
No worries!
Thank you so much for this! I struggle with greens.
Happy to help Len!
I so needed to learn how to mix my greens. THis video was so perfect. Thank you so much!
Ohhhh! THANK YOU.
Thank you very much for this very clear and useful video. I am a beginner and this will help me a lot!
You are very welcome Gomez 🙂
Thank you for going through these mixes for us.
You're welcome Sophia 🙂
I like a lot of those colors!
I am especially fond of the first one :-)
I have struggled with greens and this was very helpful. I took notes and plan to make a swatch page of these colors. Thanks for a great tutorial.
I'm so glad you found it useful!
My favorite is the Prussian blue + cadmium yellow followed by the Prussian blue + Naples yellow. Thank you for the recipes!
Thank you for this video! I'm getting kinda obsessed again with mixing greens, so finding your recipes is such a delight. Something I love about this medium is how many subtle hues you can obtain with so little pigments!
Yes, it's a wonderful medium, always been my favourite 🙂
Thank you for this tutorial, greens have always been a challenge for me. I will be making a color chart of greens to reference.
Sounds great!
Thank you for providing this very useful guide. I love mixing colors. You've just given me my weekend project idea! 😊
Brilliant - good luck with your project!
Thanks Michele. That helps a lot since I love painting trees and didn't really know how to get other colors of green and yellows, oranges.
Betsy
No problem Betsy glad it helped 🙂
This was very useful-thank you! I don’t have all of the colors you used but it inspired me to experiment more with what I do have
No problem Kathleen :-)
Thank you so much. This is such a help!
No problem Cheryl!
Thank you Michele! This is exactly what I needed to help me mix the right greens. You are the best!
Thanks so much Sheida!
Wow! You have fresh ideas about mixing greens that are new to me. My favorite is the Indian yellow and pthalo blue. Gorgeous! Thanks, Michele!
Awesome! Thank you!
I was waiting for this video all week and it didn't disappoint! My favorite mix for painting pines and darker needles are viridian hue + alizarin crimson.
So pleased you liked it! Great suggestion, I am thinking of doing a video soon with ways of adjusting viridians and emeralds :-)
Excellent video. I love learning about different pigments used in watercolor and watch a lot of videos about that and color mixing and am glad to have found your channel. I especially liked how you gave examples and instances where each mix would be useful. I am going to watch it again with a pen and paintbrush in hand. Thanks!
Teresa....I enjoyed that aspect too. The examples are so useful. Even though I'm not new to painting these little nuggets of knowledge are what I love hearing from other creatives. So inspiring!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
thank you once again my favourite green is number 3 the silvery green.
Good choice!
This is awesome, thank you so much
No problem Donna!
Very helpful... Thank you
You're welcome!
Thanks for the video. It will be very helpful in deciding what I should mix for various greens in my watercolor projects.
Glad it was helpful!
Having just finished this I’ve noticed the improved greens lesson, I’ll be doing that tomorrow as green’s my favourite colour 🙂
Fantastic, thanks for watching, and good luck with the greens!
That was the best green mixing tutorial that I have seen. Thank you
Wow, thanks!
Thank you! I Love working with green. I have a thick watercolour pad dedicated to mixing my own greens and it is amazing the sheer amount of different shades we can create using different colours and seems almost infinite. Enjoy! 🌿🌱🍃☘️🪴🍀
Excellent demo...really opens up the possibilities! Thank you!
You're very welcome!
Wonderful tips!
Glad you think so!
Very helpful video, definitely it’s going to my saved videos for further studies, thanks....
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you. Very informative!!
Glad it was helpful 👍😀
I really enjoy when you do color mixing videos, I learn so much. Am looking forward to more. My favorite mixed green is taking orange and viridian green, it makes a beautiful olive green. Viridian is a beautiful green, but a little intense and unrealistic. I have used prussian blue or a little bit of payne's grey too. Thank you Michele.
Great idea, thank you!
Another great tutorial thank you , I’m just starting my journey in watercolour and I’m lucky to of come across your channel I’m learning so much.
Thank you so much Michelle for making this video. After I watch the video, I divided a piece of watercolor paper in 10 squares, labeled what colors were used, and what Green's are used for each subject. The only one I had difficulty with was the pale grey green. It ended up looking more like the dark forest green. I think I just put down too much pigment. I also did not have Indian yellow so in its place I used new gamboge with a hint of cadmium Orange. They came out pretty close I think. I have a tie between my favorite.🙂 Those being fresh spring grass green and fir tree green. I really appreciate your lessons. Thank you.
No problem Eve, yes sounds like just too much pigment and not enough water, paynes grey is very strong!
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber Yes ma'am, I have to remember very dark pigments can take over quickly. 🙂
wonderful combinations that I have never considered... Naples yellow and Prussian Blue? Fantastic! Thank you for the wonderful ideas😃❤️
My pleasure!
Very, very helpful. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you so much for your thoughtfully done videos! So much helpful information!
No problem at all, thanks for watching!
Thank you. Wonderful selection.
Love the Cerulean, lemon & Paynes grey. Such a beautiful shade. Never thought to do a catalogue of greens like yours, definitely given me a brilliant idea. Thank you for sharing. 💐🎨💝
You are so welcome!
Love these recipes!
Wow! This is awesome information . The struggle with greens has been one of my main problems in creating landscapes. Thank you 😊
Glad it was helpful Patricia :-)
Thank you Michele! Such helpful information to us all!! Green color information is just what I needed !
So glad!
Thank you very much Michèle. This tutorial will be very useful for my learning.
Glad to hear that!
yummy greens♥️ luv those recipes with lemon yellow added with blues and payne's grey.
Thank you 😋
EXTREMELY helpful. I've written down these mixes. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Great Michele. Thank you. I’ve been searching for the right dark green and going nuts trying to get the right colours to mix (and saying rude words at the same time) and hey presto Payne’s Grey and lemon yellow.
Great info on greens. Thanks
Excellent! I really struggle with greens and this has been so helpful. Thank you.
You are very welcome!
Thanks Michele. Speedy but fun. I divided a 5x7 piece of paper into 6 squares x2. I didn't think I had Prussian but a pallet I have had a little half pan. No Indian yellow, so used Azo Quin gold. Came pretty close. Lol. Now I can tack these up by my desk. Bunch of really nice greens!
Well done Annette. Can never have too many greens!
Fave Naples Yellow with Prussian
Very helpful, Michele. Thanks so much! 🎨
No problem Gina!
I love the Lemon, Cerulean and Payn's Grey.
It's really useful I find :-)
I like to mix with quinachridone gold too, gives some very intersting greens
It's a great colour!
Awesome. Thanks
You're welcome Jill!
Thank you, Michele! Out of all the lovely recipes you shared with us, the Lime Green (Indian Yellow + Pthalo Blue) is my favorite. Regarding recipes we’d like to share, one of my favorites is Prussian Blue + Cadmium Yellow.
Yes cadmium yellow makes great greens! Thanks for watching ☺️
This is the first time I have seen your tutorials, I really enjoyed it. I'm going to make a color chart to help remember these. Thank you for the very organized explaination I like the gray greans, I have so many tubes of them and now I know how to mix my own!
Have fun!
You just showed up on my UA-cam Feed. Absolutely awesome tutorial. And I've passed your fb group details to a couple of other professionals who got booted from other fb groups, simply because they were 'good' and can actually paint! And that Lemon, blue and Paynes Grey is my favourite!
Oh, thanks so much! I hear you. I am too advanced for amateur groups, not realistic enough for botanical groups, but far too realistic for surrealist groups, not purist enough for watercolour groups and on and on... :-)
I would love to love what I am learning. Thank you Michele😀😀
You are very welcome, thanks for joining my Patreon, I have sent your welcome PDF and invited you to the FB group challenge :-)
Wonderful - made a chart as well as notes in my watercolor notebook. thank you so much!
Wonderful!
So helpful. Love this video.
Very Useful thank you
Lovely colors of green. Thanks

Sei il benvenuto!
This is great
What a useful video on mixing greens! Made note of the type of green and color combinations. Will definitely help me achieve more variety/dimension in my watercolor painting. Thanks so much.
Thank you! Glad you found it helpful :-)
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber
Had been mixing greens from yellow and phthalo Green primarily
Really useful Thank you.
You are welcome!
Great way to make some interesting greens...
Yes, thanks
Very helpful!
I really needed this , thanks for teaching.
Glad it was helpful!
Really clear , will make a great reference chart, thank you.
You are welcome!
Excellent!
Many thanks!
Thank you I learned so much. I love flower painting in watercolor so I will take a look at your Patreon page.
Thanks so much Karen, so glad you found it useful ☺️
Green is my favorite color so I’m always looking for greens. I’m also a total color geek as well. I’ve not had to make my colors before but I can match well so color is very cool. Writing down the recipes helps a lot and so does the simple pallet! I’d love to have a cheat sheet! My Severe Macaw is the most brilliant green, red and blue I’m jealous of it. I can’t even come close to reproducing the colors since they look so iridescent and shimmery in the sunlight like water taffeta shimmery. From the teacher in Oregon who paint with a pirate bird 🦜thank you for your easy learning techniques.
Bird sounds beautiful. You can get shimmer colours, I think Talens do a few iridescent colours but I haven't tried them.
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber Very cool! I also have peacocks including a white one😁
