Hi i studied watercolour at university many years ago, but was told id be better at sculpture.and to be honest i am. However,a serious heart problem stopped me in my tracks. I had to retire from teaching and the pandemic brought me back to watercolour. I find listening to your videos was/is a good refresher course and I’m enjoying myself enormously. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

12:08 thanks Paul, I’ll go back to the drawing board to add these 3 colors to my pallet. Understanding these theories has been very hard for me to remember, so if I play around with them, I should remember better. Your lessons are terrific!

Thank you Paul, only recently found your site. Took art classes at 16... was taught by Patsey Glenday... developed a love for your favourite colors in early '60's ... disapproved of by all since I went back to painting due to lockdown... delighted you "own" them too!

Well, this was just a lot like wonderful! Sometimes I'm rather shocked at what I don't know, or to be honest, maybe what I've forgotten. This video is super helpful to me... at 69, I'm just getting back to some early dreams, especially in art, creative writing & music. The "powers that be" from my youth steered me away from the "frivolous" & toward business & administration as a "wiser" choice. So, I've got some catching up to do!❤ This channel is like a lifeline to my soul! THANK YOU!

I'm new at this, well I have painted in watercolours in the past , I was a kid back then and in school. Havent painted since then but a few weeks ago when i decided to resume and realised how little I knew about it and how fascinating it is. May be because im a grown up now but i ve never perceived painting as I do now. I spend my days engrossed with it - how to achieve a certain colour,doing the mixing in my mind before I actually paint. Art is magically meditative and you , Mr. Clark are a wonderful teacher. I wish I had someone like you back when I was a child. This colour theory video is very helpful.

Unfortunately I spend more time buying than painting. Hoping your videos will get me going.

Thanks for this absolutely ESSENTIAL INFORMATION for any artist that wants their creation (if in color) to "stand out" or "be noticed". Harmony, balance, contrast in colors is only achieved by applying this knowledge (unless it's an accident). I've been painting for decades and I still occasionally paint with only the three primaries and a 'grey' to remind myself of how important and useful the 'color wheel' knowledge is.

Loved the tutorials on paper and colour mixing and paint. I am a beginner and have been saving for a Winson Newton palette, but will now start with the three primaries. I already use good paper and my brushes are not too bad either. I have been doing a lot of line and wash and finding this to be my favourite technique so I will also invest in some hot press paper as well. I’m amazed at how much I have learnt in just 2 quick tutorial. Many thanks Paul, I’m off to the Art Store and will be doing my colour wheel this arvo.

Paul, the relaxed manner in which you deliver your lessons takes away the fear of water colour painting. This tutorial is one of the best. Trying to mix the right colours is always so challenging. Getting it right can change a painting from bland and unexciting to vibrant and interesting, causing the viewer to spend more time just taking in the beauty of the scene. Your work is quite excellent, and since I don’t have time to attend classes, I am delighted to be at home being taught by your good self.

When I first started painting I was inspired by the old pbs artists which used a ton of colors... but went out on my own to learn primary color mixing.. because I was BROKE lol. Paint can be expensive and its much cheaper to purchase three (or four for acrylic since you need white) nice tubes of paint than an palette full. I found later on that adding additional colors often made my life more difficult.. since when you start mixing things become more complicated as you are never quite sure exactly what is pre-mixed into them.. sometimes you wind up with mud or a completely different unexpected result in hue... It can be very frustrating. This is especially problematic in watercolor since there is so much "unintentional" mixing on the paper via the nature of the medium itself. Even if you decide to branch out I highly suggest sticking with pure pigments, they are much easier to deal with than custom shades. Watch your tones.. mixing a very cool yellow with a warm blue for example may give you combinations you do not expect and they will clash used pure. I also suggest you take the time to do a color chart with the shades you have, it can be extremely helpful and worth the effort. Simply set up a grid with each of the colors on both the side and the top and mix a sample... be sure to include the secondary and perhaps even tertiary colors if you are working with a limited pallet.

Thank you so much Paul, I love how you simplified the subject! Easy to follow and fantastic explanations, as always! What I would love to see in a future video, if at all possible, is your take on the consistency of watercolour mixes. It is something I struggle with and I find the tea-coffee-milk-cream approach not straightforward to apply in practice. Related to this, is it better to darken a colour by adding some Payne's grey to a colour, or by diluting it less. I guess it depends what one wants to achieve, but in which context one should use a particular approach would be useful. Anyway, just thought those subjects could make an interesting complementary video ☺️.
@ArtbyPaulClark
@ArtbyPaulClark 3 жыл бұрын
Hi Eric - thanks for that and definitely something I'll look into. I think, as you suggest both approaches can work but it shouldn't be the default method to reach for your Payne's grey to darken a colour as it won't work with every hue. Adding more paint or diluting less is probably the better route - keep in touch and we'll look intuit.

Very interesting and concise lessons. Regarding colour, I was taught that the purist form of colour were Lemon Yellow, Magenta and Cyan and you could mix any colour from these three primaries, having said that I find your three colours do blend so well together.

Excellent video, Paul! Thank you so very much. Love your teaching style and humor! I'm wondering if, in a future video you might discuss the qualities of transparency, opaque, and staining? I'd like to understand how to take advantage of that quality in a particular application. For example, let's say I'm painting a Hawaiian shoreline with translucent, crashing wave. Can I use a graduated mix of Winsor Cerulean (rather opaque) and Winsor Prussian (transparent) in the wave? Would the Cerulean's opaque / chalk-like qualities mask the Prussian? Or would it be better to ditch the Cerulean altogether, head to the art store, and purchase another transparent color like Winsor Manganese Blue Hue? It would be great to get your opinion on this and the other qualities I mentioned - along with a few examples. Thank you!

I'm so happy going through your videos and learning something new every day.My question is whether is it OK to use black paint to make other colors darker, and if the answer is no, then how should I achieve very dark colors?

Since no one else answered... I'd say it's fine to use black. I do it sometimes. I'm new to watercolor tho and don't plan on being a professional. Plus there can't be many rules to art right? Ok..There probably are but there shouldn't be.

Hi, I use a combination of burnt sienna and paynes gray, it seems to get a very dark but rich black which isn't as flat as say Mars black

I have been having a love affair with quinacridone gold and windsor blue green shade. They make the most beautiful greens. I don't think they would work in a limited pallet. They sure are fun though.

The only difference to your pallet and mine is I use Sap Green instead of Hookers green and New Gamboge instead of cadmium orange.

I am a biginner and thought the use of the three primary colors to mix any other combination was interesting. I was then confused when towards the end when he showed a pallet with tubes of many colors. Loved the video, very informative.

Glad it was helpful! I always recommend starting with the 3, learning to mix then move on to more colours.

I’m only two minutes and 17 seconds in and you’ve made me laugh at least three times. I’m am brand new to watercolor and I also have way too many colors. I just ordered my first set of true primary colors. As soon as those arrive, I will be participating with you in this video, but I’m still going to watch the whole thing right now. You’ve got a new subscriber. Thank you!
