Because I almost entirely use transparent daniel smith watercolors, I mix Indanthrone blue, and Quin burnt orange for my black. I sometimes mix in a little cobalt blue violet too, which is only half transparent, if I need a darker black :)
I find using staining colors are deeper as they block out the light of the paper,one mix I use is permanent alizarin and thalo green,touch of thalo blue ,tfs your mixes.
This is one of the best black watercolour mixes I've seen so far on UA-cam. Thank you so much for this video. 🤗
You are very welcome. Thanks!

Love these mixes, going to play on the weekend with my colours to see what I can come up with
Sounds great!
I really appreciate your wisdom and experience. Thank you so much ☺️ would love for you to do this same thing with browns!!
You're welcome. I have grays on my list, but hadn't thought of browns. I will add that. Good suggestion.

Except for about 4 Holbein pigments, I use D.S. exclusively. I will have to try Indanthrone and Quin. B. Orange. Thanks for the suggestion.

Very true, the staining colors will make a darker mix. Thanks for posting your mix!
