3 ways to mix colours

[@ishouldhavetried]

I once had an art instructor yell at me for mixing the paint on the paper, and told me that's not how it's done. Very encouraging to hear from you that you do mix on the paper

[@PatrickVisserArt]

There are no rules in my opinion. And who yells at their students? 😀

[@ciderofthearctic392]

I have heard about two art teachers so far who have yelled at their students for their methods... I feel like they miss the WHOLE fucking point of art and it pisses me off. There is no right way or method to express something in artwork, and not everybody has, wants to have, or even SHOULD have the same style of art. Individuality and uniqueness is what DEFINES art, what makes art... well, ART. I applaud you for tolerating that dude jesus christ, if you're still receiving lessons from them please slap them (don't but that's absolutely something I'd do)

[@Snowyy._.Da.Dragonn]

​@@ciderofthearctic392 I agree with you.

[@lilitpatchwork]

They sound like a very uncreative soul, for someone that decided to teach art. That's one of the reasons I'm scared to go to an actual art school. I don't want to get stuck with crazy teachers where I don't actually learn much because I'm just trying to apease them

[@math1937]

I never got yelled at for not mixing only on the palette, but I was always told to only mix on the palette. I did that for a while, but then I started messing around with mixing directly on the paper or canvas and found that to be much more fun and worked better with how I think

[@freckledcracker1481]

I personally prefer to do glazing layers, wet on wet blending, and even some subtraction scrubbing to create soft highlights.

[@sandramyer7081]

Yes! Indeed! Very instruction with close- up to see! Love this!🥰

[@kathyquinones1984]

I love how the double loading came out.. I'm going to try this more! Ty 💛💚💙

[@devangjainyt8420]

Loved the second technique

[@Derpy_Crow]

Last one is the best

[@hanananah]

I've never done much with watercolors but the second effect is my favorite when using oil paints.

[@WhatIsRealitysos]

The where you pick multiple colors at the same time looks more realistic

[@fauxhuman0]

i typically work with acrylics, but i love mixing the colors on the canvas. it creates such a fun effect and gives me a nice amount of “risk” to make my brain happy

[@saha.debanjali]

1st one can only be used to fill in blank backgrounds or you know, flat textures... 2nd one's pretty interesting, and the 3rd one.. uhm I'd use it only on abstract art 😅

[@lilhedgehog8576]

My favorite is when you take the two colors and the brush at the same time because it blends together better. In my opinion. The second one does not blend as well and I like the look of the first one better.

[@PatrickVisserArt]

thanks

[@TaeTae-kl9jx]

Does it work as well with acrylics?

[@PatrickVisserArt]

not sue, never tried it

[@Nameless_Qwerty]

I think the last one you have to be really quick about, because then the first paint starts to dry and it won't mix well

[@beginningartist2977]

What kind of brush did u use?

[@PatrickVisserArt]

A Chinese calligraphy brush. This one’s from Prafull Sawant

[@Adithi2609]

3

[@TMangaArtist]

Number two

[@scw55]

Not keen on mixing too much on pallet because if you mix up the wrong amount you have excess paint or you have to remember how to mix more of it.

[@kaishidani]

Duuuuude that brush

[@PatrickVisserArt]

😆

[@needshelpwithprocrastination]

I stack the colours on the brush ever since I was a beginner. I’m a genius (gotta keep that ego going)

[@PatrickVisserArt]

that makes two of us!

[@needshelpwithprocrastination]

@@PatrickVisserArt yippeeeee

[@needshelpwithprocrastination]

@@PatrickVisserArt I tried it for doing the leaves when my class was doing water color loose floral paintings, I also insisted on using homemade green instead of that artificial looking green. Ngl I’m running out of yellow but whatever. I think I deserve a higher score for my art exam for the beautiful color the others looked artificial you gotta give me credit for that right? Right? No? *cries in a corner* anyways idk why I just yap a lot especially when comes to things I like XD

The center pear looks like a tie dye shirt

great question. didn't get that far

[@acherrysodacan]

never really got into how certain art mediums work until i saw someone play the multi-medium. great game, the watercolor section has some of the best music too.

THE MULTI-MEDIUM MENTIONED??? TWEAKING OUT OH MY GOODNESS

[@cilj399]

Picking up the colors together for sure has the nicest result. The adding of color looked like you lost control and more blue took over. Thanks for this tutorial 😊

[@lindabalz]

See how tastes are different.. I, personally, liked the dripping in of the blue colour best ☺ 👏 👍 so for me and all like me, that's OK and your opinion would be your own to use or propagated further... Some people think they paint better than Leonardo da Vinci... All in the eye of the comparison beholder. 🎉

[@cocoaheart8402]

1st could be used for billing in blank space or flat bgs, 2nd for the focus of the piece snd adding depth and 3rd i think would look cool to creature a flowy texture like silk

[@PatrickVisserArt]

agree, each has its use

[@sarahisatitagain]

2nd for sure. Thanks for this demonstration 😊

[@PatrickVisserArt]

You’re welcome 😊

[@Kloops]

I like the second one you did.

[@ohokay4663]

Painting feathers with that last technique is my favorite- the strong contrast when it dries, and the pattern it makes from the pigments spreading when it was wet, makes the PERFECT tecture.

[@cainedendunnen6301]

I would have to go the second one when you picked up 2-3 colours at a time

[@EnbyTransMochi3628]

Same

[@pattenrond8243]

All techniques have different looks but are really interesting ! In my opinion 1 would be good for a kind of cartoony art style, with cel shading and blocks of colors with a bold lineart The second one would be best for a more realistic style and i love to use it in landscapes and this kind of stuff And the last one is so good for something a bit more "abstract" with brighter colors and interesting mix !

[@rawtoast3466]

Oooooh they're pears. I thought it was the Grinch.

[@PatrickVisserArt]

hahaha, didn't think of painting the grinch!

[@liangweng1708]

2nd!

[@alisonmccain]

I do that with acrylic paint when I make backgrounds, they blend a lot better when you mix them on the canvas for a sunset, for example

[@PatrickVisserArt]

Aha. Good to know

[@saracross7599]

As a beginner this was so helpful thanks

[@PatrickVisserArt]

You're so welcome!

[@cheese_on_bun]

There's something magical about watercolour illustrations

[@mapelianbutton4954]

My most favorite is the spay water first then put colours later. It makes interesting water or flame pattern when it's dried.

[@EsterGeva]

אתה כנראה מורה לציור או צייר,אומן,מוכשר מאוד, תודה לך,❤❤

[@thefluffygenius4857]

Cool huh, like rough gradient vs mask blend

[@Cosmic_Moon246]

At first i thought u were painting Grinch lol

[@NicoleLind1982]

I think the second version is the best.

[@dianeloftus5476]

Giving up a bit of control... Hmmm...a life lesson as well as in watercolor, I guess... Probably why I do the first method, but my favorite effect is the second method. I will give the second and third a try in my sketchbook!

[@PatrickVisserArt]

art is definitely a mirror of life for me

[@Schnitzel-xo7pm]

Thought you were making avocados, im very disappointed.

[@PatrickVisserArt]

😂😂

[@Reaction-cats]

I like to layer my colors then when I'm done add some pencils on top which made it look even better

[@hana-smile-00]

I like it

[@riss.h2478]

Middle is coolest

[@ТоняШамбуева]

Cool

[@padstowphantom]

The pear on the right. Nice job.

[@ZadenZane]

Haha I started to do something similar with acrylic, dipping the brush into one pot with another colour still on it, I just thought I was being lazy. It wasn't just that I couldn't be bothered wiping it, I wanted the 2-colour effect. And by the way whoever said don't buy convenience colours with acrylics, just mix your own, have they ever tried painting the way they advise? I mix all my colours in tiny bottles, the palette system doesn't work with acrylic paint, not unless you're willing to throw half your paint away because it dried out or the (homemade) stay-wet palette disintegrated!!)

[@PatrickVisserArt]

how interesting. thanks for sharing

[@ZadenZane]

@@PatrickVisserArt yes I'm an acrylic painter I'm afraid but I do love the watercolour look, I just don't use real watercolour I use pigment inks or acrylic paint for the same effect, the only difference is that these dry waterproof so if you want the wet on wet look you have to hurry and do it quick so everything is wet at the same time!

[@BPNProjectsPrivateLimited]

What brush did you use?

[@PatrickVisserArt]

Its a goats hair calligraphy brush

[@EsterGeva]

באילו צבעים אתה צובע? צבעי אקרליק? או צבעי מים? זה באמת לא משנה/ מי שיודע לצייר כמוך זה לא משנה כל כך,

[@Juneberry-]

I did that for pallet knife painting landscapes last year, my teacher told us she was not going to let out paintings look flat😭😭

[@clcl8]

I like ,icing colours and picking up colours both at the same time interchangeably

[@Edits4.911]

I THOUGHT YOU WERE PAINTING THE GRINCH FOR A SECOND -

[@PatrickVisserArt]

same same 😆

[@Edits4.911]

Omggg your so underattedd​@@PatrickVisserArt

[@Kylar-xw4eq]

I liked the 3rd pear

[@ColoursOfMySoul]

I like the second one most. But I haven’t ever tried it. Tbh I haven’t tried water colors a lot. Still managed to make two portraits with water colors. The videos are present on my youtube.

[@espresso5990]

May Yah be with you and your loved ones!! Toda Yah Thank you for the tip! This is really good!! Keep it up!!💗🌷🌸💗

[@fanir.325]

La segunda mamera es mi favorita 😊

[@acmulhern]

I use mostly acrylic, but I do a majority of my mixing on the canvas.

[@domfm7161]

I've just tried and it's extremely fun with two colours on the brush 😊 It did make me give up some control, huge benefit! I'll try the second technique soon. Thanks a lot 🙏

[@mamtagupta8764]

It actually a great some time i confused how do i mixed them that's really great

[@stampinturtles]

The one on the right looks the most interesting. ❤❤❤

[@Remhad]

The ombré effect by picking up multiple colors at once is gorgeous

[@ethanxillasaurus2572]

Second method is my favorite

[@Mae1111-abc]

I thought people doing the third one was normal😭😭

[@Ekster77]

My favourite is the one on the right. It's the most realistic in my opinion. The left one is a bit dull I think. Thank you for this video😊.

[@Lala_B]

Every time i try to mix on the page I make a muddy mess. Practice, Practice, practice!

[@catpoke9557]

My favorite is the second method

[@ShadowKitz]

"Whats your favorite?" Me: no. 2

[@chicagoflipsters6772]

I like picking colors together because it blended better and picking one color first and then picking the other color the blue literally took over 😅🎉❤

[@WazirWilly]

Wet on wet has always terrified me because it’s very uncontrollable and I am scared it will ruin the artwork underneath, but I have been giving it a shot recently. Hope I finally get something worth writing home about!

[@Truthfully7]

Enjoy the no 2 but it meshed too much, so think 3 gets my vote 🤣🤣🤣🥰🥰🥰 dankie 😁

[@rinaamaya7382]

Wonderful thanks

[@floooooooo9]

I feel like it happens mostly for people who are used to acrylic/oil paint. Its always discouraged to mix paint on the canvas. While for watercolor or digital art, its sometimes better to not use a pre-made color

[@kit2130]

Not the blue on the pear but getting the green plus yellow by itself looks great mixing on the pear. Red & yellow would be beautiful too to get it mixing into an orange color on it.

[@RATTE1606]

all techniques are useful ... my most liked is the more then one color in the brush in this case , then wet on wet and the thirt technique is not so interesting or effectful in my opinion. a combination of all works fine :)

[@emm4t1d]

i love the left

[@prafulvasava661]

0:31 🌚Pooh di ko pata hai sab kuch🌚😂

[@Delicate_Disaster]

2 colors at the same time is my favorite

[@KOROws]

The third one looks like it’s molding ngl

[@xquenda275]

Bro what… you sound so similar to my Oma (my grandma who passed in august) that i had to do an entire double take because WOA. (Also i like the art :3)

[@MWNTI_Studios]

I personally hate working with water colors, as I work better with acrylics and I think this has helped me see why I dislike working with them. I think it's the lack of control over specifics.

[@PatrickVisserArt]

Yep. It’s not for everyone

[@Lulu-om8dk]

Def the second

[@sweethysteria8737]

I very much like the second one, if only I could do that digitally, I’m a bit of an amateur at water color so this is nice and helpful
