Daniel Smith Essential Watercolor Chart & Color Wheel For Beginners - Split Primary Colors.
Вставка
- Опубліковано 21 сер 2024
- In this video I paint a color wheel and a color chart with the Daniel Smith Essential Introductory Watercolor Set consisting of a warm and a cool of the 3 primary colors red, blue & yellow.
This video is an excellent introduction to color mixing for beginners and explains how to create brilliant secondary colors in detail using simple, easy to follow steps.
Remember, even if a color is listed or considered "Cool" or "Warm" it really depends on what you are comparing it to!
So a so-called "warm" blue can be "cool" if you are comparing it to a warm color, such as red - even if it's compared to a "cool" red - the blue would still be considered "cooler".
We all see colors differently, so please explore colors on your own terms and feel free to explore and make your own relationship with colors!
If you have been confused about the terms "warm" and "cool" colors, this video is for you!
Colors used:
French Ultramarine Blue, Phthalo Blue (GS), Pyrrol Scarlet, Quinacridone Rose, Hansa Yellow Light, New Gamboge.
Painted on Arches 140 lbs. cold-pressed watercolor paper, and grid drawn with a black Micron Pen.

Excellent! This is probably the best explanation and demonstration of the mixing chart online. Kudos!
Wow, thanks for your encouragement! So glad you found it helpful! I’m working on the video about color mixing so please stay tuned! have a wonderful, creative day.
I have gotten several comments to my watercolor Chart video here, and wanted to give you some additional resources, if you find the whole concept of warm versus cool colors confusing. Blue seems to be the color blue that creates the most confusion. However, just remember, we all see colors differently, and it's okay!
Below I have links to some really expert and excellent sources to help explain the warm versus cool color dilemma for you.
Here is the video from Daniel Smith on the the Split Primary Essential Watercolor Set - as you can see in the video, they also call the French Ultramarine Blue Warm and the Phthalo Blue Cool:

And if you go to Jane Blundell's website (she is one of the ultimate color experts in the watercolor world) where she has an extensive list of all the watercolors out there, you can also see that she calls all the French Ultramarine Blues warm, and the Phthalo Blues cool:

Whatever you do, and however you see colors, have fun with them!
This tutorial has been very helpful, and pretty.
Thank you so much for your kind feedback. I’m so glad you found it helpful. Wishing you happy painting- it’s always fun to explore color mixing!👍🎨❤️
Wish I could upload my color chart .. just finished it using this video Thank you!
Congratulations! So glad you could use my demo as inspiration! I wish I could see it too!
this is so well explained, thank you so much Eva. of all the people doing wheels of this set you made the most beautiful and well defined
Thank you so much for your sweet comments! I’m so happy you found my demo helpful! You just made my day!🙏🙏🙏❤️🙏🎨
Thank you, this was so helpful to help me understand the "warm" and "cool" colors and how they fit in the color wheel.
I made my color wheel while watching your video stopping at each color combination!
Connie Hvitved awesome 👏 thank you so much for letting me know this color demo was helpful! You made my day🎨🙏
I was watching your instruction early this morning my computer crashed - restarted again took me 4 hours to find yu on you-tube - won't make the same mistake I wrote your name down on my notes this time.. - Yu are so helpful understanding the w and c colors
Hi Annette, thank you so much for your kind comments! I’m glad you enjoy my watercolor tutorials and demos- and glad you found me again. Sorry about your computer crashing- that’s so frustrating! Make sure you subscribe and click on the little notification bell so you don’t miss it when I upload new videos. Have fun painting and exploring your watercolors!
Thanks Eva, this was super helpful for understanding how to make almost any color from the primary paints I bought to start off with. Can’t wait for your next color mixing video!
Beverly Hanson thank you so much Beverly- so glad you found it helpful! Yes this really is a great set of watercolors for mixing any color you need to begin with. The next video on this subject will be up in a few days!
Excellent video. Thank you Eva. I'm going to try this tomorrow. :) -- Pushpa.
Thank you so much! Have fun!
Eva, Thank YOU ❣ Very helpful.
Joyce Snodgrass thank you so much - glad you found my color demo helpful! I’m turning into quite the color nerd, so I’ll be expanding on these colors in an upcoming video!🤣🎨❤️
Hello, I just bought this set along with the Primatek one and can't wait to dive in, thanks for the video!
Thank you- have fun exploring your new colors!
I was happy to find your video and the links you included to explain why the French Ultramarine is a warm color and the Phthalo Blue is cool color. I recently purchased the Daniel Smith Essential Watercolor Mixing set and the information insert under the Mixing Guide that comes in the paint package says just the opposite! Thanks for clearing things up!
Thank you so much for your kind comments. Glad you found my video helpful. I’m so puzzled why they have misleading information in the set itself. If you go to the Daniel Smith website and watch their video about the Essential Watercolor Mixing set the correctly say That the French Ultramarine is warm and the Phthalo Blue is cool. Maybe a proofreading error? Anyway, glad I could help you. Wishing lots of fun exploring colors!
Thanks for sharing
You are so welcome! I love color and find it so fascinating to study all the combinations we can create!

Thank you.
Eva Nichols Art, You might pin your replies & explanation to maha alamri to the top; since it’s the final concept to complete this tutorial; i.e. warm & cool have to be relative to something. So, for any given pair, even though by general convention, French Ultra is generally taken as warm … it may or may not be in a given situation. Even though one can find references to Fr. Ultra. being cool or warm, (often on the same website) neither is incorrect depending on context. Thanks for a well done tutorial.
Thank you so much for your comment - yes everything regarding color temperature, value and hue is relative to what you're comparing to! I love your idea of pinning my extensive comment to Maha Alamri to the top, but I don't know how to do that. If I figure it out, I'll do it!
Do you think I could maybe replace New Gamboge with Hansa Yellow Deep? They look pretty similar in hue. But does it work as well for mixing the different colors?
Thank you so mich for your question about substituting New Gamboge with Hansa Yellow Deep.
I don't have Hansa Yellow Deep, but I think it will work just fine - from what I can see on various color swatches of different brands that is also a warm yellow, just like New Gamboge. Let me know how it works and happy painting.
@@EvaNichols28 Thank you for answering so quick. I will try it out as soon as possible. I can't affort buying new colors at the moment...so maybe it'll work...thank you for this video 🤗
@@kreativeReise You are so welcome - I am sure it's going to work just fine, you should never feel confined to only using the colors you see in tutorials - and when creating this little exercise with split primary colors, you can substitute any of the primaries with another primary as long as they are in the same color family. Just like New Gamboge and Hansa Yellow Deep. If we compared our results they may be a little different, but not much, and this is just to show you some of the many color combinations you can create with your colors. No need to go buy more colors - just have fun learning what the colors you own can do! Have fun!
@@EvaNichols28 Thank you so much for your warming and motivating words. As a beginner I am maybe too anxious...I hope that'll be better over time.
Greetings from Germany
@@kreativeReise Thank you so much - vielen Dank! Übung macht Meister! Ich habe zwei Jahre in Pforzheim (Baden-Würtenberg) verbracht viele Jahre her.
I get confused with these particular blues. I can see one has more yellow and the other has more red but it appears to me that the one with the red is a cooler color than the one with more yellow. This hurts my brain. 😂
We all perceive color differently, and if that is how it feels to you, go with it. I know other artists who see it like you do. Just have fun playing with colors and experiment. 🎨
@@EvaNichols28 Thank you! Very reassuring!
I thought ultramarine is the cool blue!!!!
Hi Maha, You know that's actually something people debate often. However, the way I see colors (and most artists) the French Ultramarine is a warm blue, as it is closer to red than for instance Cobalt Blue (close to what we consider a "true blue") or the Phthalo Blue (GS) which is closer to yellow.
The closer yellow gets to green, the cooler it's considered, and the closer yellow gets to red (orange), the warmer it's considered. So for me that means that blue, which is the cool color in our primaries, would also be warmer when it gets closer to red, and visa versa.
However, I have certainly taken classes with artists, that see it differently. So, you should stay true to how you see colors, I think!
@@EvaNichols28 it is very complicated
Of course everyone has their own perception of color, and warm or cool really is relative. You have to ask: Compared to what.
However, here is the video from Daniel Smith on the the Split Primary Essential Watercolor Set - as you can see in the video, they also call the French Ultramarine Blue Warm and the Phthalo Blue Cool:
