Turquoise can be a difficult color to mix. It lives somewhere between blue and green, but also has hints of yellow. In this video, I share valuable recipes for mixing this elusive color using common pigments on your watercolor palette.
This video on mixing turquoise was inspired by viewer feedback after I posted my "How to Mix Green" video. Check that video out here: "How to Mix 42 different greens in watercolor" - studio.krisdebruine.com/greens

I love that you shared your research of mixes to make these colors. You didn’t just know, you experimented and tried things. I like seeing that, it’s not magic.
Thank you. Yes, I had fun trying to find the right mix given the colors on my palette.
Super satisfying to watch these colors come together.
I agree. This was a fun one!!

I love all teal turquoise colours. now I know how to mix all the beautiful shades. Thank you for sharing. Lots of love from the UK, Dot x.
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much! I’m a huge turquoise (and teal) fan, so you just made my morning shine a little brighter. 😊
I'm so glad!
Hello Kris, I just found your channel a couple of weeks ago. What great information you so generously share and with such clear, concise delivery! Thank you so much!
Wow. Thanks for the feedback. My hope is to be a blessing and to share my journey in watercolor. Have a great day.
Hello, Kris. I came across your youtube channel looking for ways to mix a bright blue for the feet of a Blue Footed Boobie I'm going to be painting in watercolor. Even going over the DS online chart I wasn't finding what I needed in a convenience color. So far this video has given me ideas how to get there though. You're very good at teaching and very generous with what you're sharing. I'm very impressed and will be following you. Thank you! 🙏🏼❤️💯
You are very welcome. I'm glad you found this video to be helpful. Have a great day!! ~Kris
I so much appreciate all your tutorials and reviews. Always excellent material
I'm glad you find the videos to be helpful. Thanks for the feedback. I really appreciate it.
Thank you for describing the difference. I have always wondered the difference as translations to Spanish usually use the same word for turquoise and teal.
Hmmm. That's very interesting. I don't speak Spanish so I had no idea. Very interesting. Thanks for leaving this feedback.
Very good the Napels yellow is nice it looks a bit peacy very beatiful thank you.😊😊
Thanks for watching
Thanks Kris, I loved your video and there is something magical to me when I experiment myself, in fact, I've been in quite a slump and that's all Ive been doing is playing with all of my colours, swatching has become so enjoyable to me and I am learning so much about colours ! Thanks again, you are awesome :)
I'm so glad you enjoyed it. Thanks for the feedback. I agree, there is something relaxing about mixing and swatching and playing with paints.
Thank you so much for explaining the difference between teals and turquoises, and the mixes look so nice I espacially need to try the second recipe 😍
You're welcome. I'm glad you enjoyed it. Happy painting!!
Hi Kris, very interesting! Thank you 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!
Amazing! Thank you for sharing!
You're welcome
I love this so much! Turquoise & Teal always makes my brain feel happy, and I've purchased 4 or 5 various colors because I didn't know how to mix my own. Thank you so much for sharing this! 😁
You are so welcome!
Thank you! Such helpful information🤩
You're welcome
My fave colors!
Yes. I agree. I LOVE these colors. And it was so fun to find out how easy they are to mix.
As a beginner, I fell in love with all things "Turquoise"... and not having Brand color charts, I have enough of this convenience color to share! Along with magentas.... ha!😂 The color dot charts are great! I prefer having colors ready to go... I loved how you made the colors! Thank you! And thanks for sharing the links to buy! Awesome! I haven't painted for a year and mostly just play with colors... comparing and swatching! A California Gramma ❤
My new favorite color is Da Vinci Seaglass watercolor... PB15:4, PG7! ❤❤❤ It stands out when I swatched all my Turquoise watercolor paint!
Thanks for watching. I'm glad you enjoyed the mixing suggestions.
Sounds beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you! I have a convenience turquoise that I just do not love, and this will help me out so much!
Wonderful!! So glad to hear.
Thankyou for sharing !
You're welcome!!
Great information, thank you
You're welcome. Thanks for watching!
Thanks for explaining and showing the difference between real and turquoise. I never understood why folks use the names interchangeably, they’re so different to me.
You're welcome. Have a great day.
Thanks for sharing😊
You're welcome. Thanks for watching.
Thank you saving me 💵 . I was going to buy a Turquoise tube but the swatches weren’t doing it for me and was worried that whatever I buy - Holbein or WnN or DS would not be the shade I wanted.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and leaving feedback. :-)
Beautiful ❤
Thank you! 😊
Thank you your video was just what I needed. I didn't want to buy teal. Thanks for showing us how. Subscribed. What do you think about showing us how to make sepia?
Let me direct you to my free download on my website. I have a chart that shows 12 different recipes for mixing neutrals. There are a couple on there that are close to Sepia, which is a warmer neutral - leaning to brown. Sign up and download the chart here: studio.krisdebruine.com/12grays Enjoy!
Hi again, would you be able to share if azo yellow from Daniel Smith and nickel azo yellow are the same? Thx😊
Hi. No, they are quite different. Azo Yellow is made from PY151 and is a cooler yellow - closer to lemon yellow. Nickel Azo Yellow is made from PY150 and is warmer and more similar to Yellow Ochre - an earth tone. Here are the links to the Daniel Smith website so you can see the difference: Azo Yellow - danielsmith.com/color-stories/watercolors/azo-yellow-watercolor/ and Nickel Azo Yellow - danielsmith.com/color-stories/watercolors/nickel-azo-yellow-watercolor/
@@KrisDeBruineStudio thanks a lot Kris. Very sweet of you
Thank you so much! Such helpful information🤩
You're welcome again! :-)
