Color Mixing for a Limited Color Palette (Phantom Butterfly)

[@renmuffett]

Yes, wonderful! I would love for more students to know about color mixing. I started with only 9 pigments. Only one of them Paynes Gray being the only one that's not a single pigment. I have a lot of watercolor paint that I love playing with but every serious painting has my selected few cannot live without pigments. Mixing colors is very fun and addictive!

[@katrinacrouch]

I have never used Payne’s Gray but hear people talk about it all the time! You may have just added something to my wish list, hah

[@shawnawhite8318]

Oh my goodness, that was SO helpful! ... Not only for this project, but for general color mixing instruction as well. Please do more of these.

[@katrinacrouch]

Oh good!! I’m so glad-I did the second video on a whim and was only going to share snippets but if this is helpful then I will definitely include more of these in the future

[@ad6449]

Thank you for this lovely and informative video about your process. It was truly joyful to watch. I would definitely enjoy seeing more like this as preludes to the painting tutorials.

[@katrinacrouch]

Wonderful! I am hoping to have more two part videos like this in the future (but they take longer so I can’t do it every time, hah!)

[@ad6449]

@@katrinacrouch It's fully understandable that you can't do it each time! No worries. Just thought to share my enthusiasm with you. What was really helpful was watching the color mixing as it developed. To hear it is one thing, to see the colors and their harmonies emerge, to watch the adjustments, something becomes tangible and I appreciated that very much. Thank you again.

[@katrinacrouch]

@@ad6449 And I appreciate the encouragement so much! You have actually motivated me to get my paints out again this week and try to complete a video!

[@ad6449]

@@katrinacrouch Looking forward!

[@joywright199]

Very helpful how you explained the different mixing of the same colours so they complement and blend easily

[@flyinghaggertys9362]

I love your channel and really love the color mixing video! I would love to see more of your color mixing: as part of the painting videos, or separate, I will watch either! 💕🙌

[@katrinacrouch]

Great to hear! I will definitely include more of my details about my thought process in the future!

[@simonemacandrew]

I think your painting and mixing process extremely useful. Please keep up the good work!

[@katrinacrouch]

Oh good! I'm so glad you found it helpful! Was it better to have the color mixing in a separate video like this so that I can go into more detail? Or do you prefer the "all in one" videos?

[@simonemacandrew]

@@katrinacrouch In my opinion, I enjoy the all in one videos since I was ready for more. I can't wait for the next video to come out so I can start painting my own butterfly.

[@katrinacrouch]

The painting video is live! I published them at the same time ☺️

[@simonemacandrew]

@@katrinacrouch yay! Thank you. I’ll watch it now.

[@corytompkins6004]

Super helpful video, thank you!

[@katrinacrouch]

Oh yay! I’m so glad it helped!

[@lainareeves3755]

This is very helpful; I always wondered what desaturate means in reference to watercolor. This was very helpful. I also appreciated your showing us how to look for the different colors in subjects. My challenge is knowing if they're cool or warm. Yes to more videos like this one. :)

[@katrinacrouch]

Oh interesting! So maybe a video on the basics of color theory would be helpful?

[@lainareeves3755]

@@katrinacrouch Yes, that would be extremely helpful! :)

[@SuperBonnie1969]

I really enjoy the watching the process of developing your color pallet. I would like to see more of this.

[@katrinacrouch]

So glad it was helpful!! I’ll be sure to create more separate videos like this ☺️

[@SnowbeautyShreya]

Loved the video❤️

[@katrinacrouch]

So glad!! Thank you 🥰🥰🥰

[@SnowbeautyShreya]

@@katrinacrouch welcome, and your videos really help🥰🥰

[@katrinacrouch]

@@SnowbeautyShreya Oh good! I'm always afraid that they aren't very helpful and I'm wasting everyone's time, hah!

[@SnowbeautyShreya]

@@katrinacrouch don't worry because they are very helpful, and I also love painting ❤️

[@deborabrazierpearson5133]

Loved the video! I’m interested in exploring a limited palette. Would you do a video on your palette colors and how it is set up?

[@katrinacrouch]

I have one, actually! I created this video about a year ago when I updated my large palette ☺️ m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aJ6zgHpuareIrdU

[@deborabrazierpearson5133]

I’m going to check it out right now. Thank you!

[@jacintheboudreau5459]

Allô, just discovered your beautiful work.....May I ask what is usually the size of paper used for your butterflies and also the hibiscus tutorial? Thank you in advanced💗💞

[@katrinacrouch]

I'm so sorry! I am just now seeing this comment--I typically favor the 9x12 paper size, but sometimes cut it in half for my butterflies

[@leonordominguez1387]
