Favorite Watercolor Mixes! - with guest! 🎨😺

[@OtoKano]

It seems that Pekeo has quite a lot of opinions on color mixes! Thank you so much for linking my videos :D

[@KRCanetti]

Your video's are great and insightful, & totally on topic!!!

[@KatheeRN]

I could not stop laughing at your cat talking throughout...how sweet..U had me hooked at the start with the teal..my favorite color by far

[@zackm8399]

Nice! Cobalt teal with anything! I like your cat. He be cool.

[@EveBolt]

I agree! Cobalt teal with all the colors! :D I'll let the cat know you said that ;)

[@omgtabbyOG]

The last trio of mixes with CobTurq are STUNNERS, bright and tropical! I might make myself a mini palette of those four

[@EveBolt]

Cobalt Turquoise is such a great color for mixes :D

[@heathercatlady546]

Hehe don't you just LOVE how helpful cats are while trying to do... well, anything! I see Pekoe is a fan of cobalt teal mixes as well. Purr purr purr. Thanks for showing all of those mixes. I have yet to try caput mortuum in any brand, oddly enough. I'll have to do so. Cheers

[@kimesch9698]

Your kitty was in the mood for some lovin’!

[@EveBolt]

She definitely wanted me to pay attention to her XD

[@BB-nz5sk]

Your sense of humor is much appreciate. I did literally laugh out loud every time you put your cat’s face on the screen when he/she chimed in!!! And I could listen to the purring all day and night!!

[@EveBolt]

Thank you! The cat is Pekoe, a little lady :3 She always has a lot to say and a very loud purring motor!

[@BB-nz5sk]

My favorite of your choices is the one that creates the mossy rocks!! Gorgeous!! Reminds me of something that could be a Primatek mineral pigment (which are my fav)!

[@EveBolt]

Thank you!! I love these mixes, they are a lot of fun!! It's odd to realize what colors I end up using the most because of the mixes (and which ones I barely use! )

[@squid24736]

yeeeessss cobalt teal is my favorite color to mix with just about anything

[@EveBolt]

I agree! It's so beautiful!

[@northerngardengirl]

Super helpful!! Thanks for showing how these combinations work out. It inspires me to get some mixing going with the paints I have collected. Guest star was super cute! ;)

[@vinsenanda]

This video is very useful as an idea to know my set of watercolor better.. you inspire me to experiment more, thank you... I've been watching lots of your videos, just start with watercolor for art journal this mid year...

[@EveBolt]

My pleasure 😊 Experimenting is the best way to figure stuff out, in my opinion. I'm happy it inspires you to experiment more :D

[@thejoydecision724]

Aww Pekoe! And the nicest colour mixes!

[@minocris]

I love your guest! (and macro shots of swatches are amazing!)

[@bookyeti]

My fave mixes are with Cobalt Turquoise (PB36) too. My go-to mixes are PB36 + PO73 (DS Trans. Pyrrol Orange) and PB36 + PO48 (quin. burnt orange). I also enjoy mixing Potter's Pink & Cerulean Blue. Super granulation and I love how the two colours stay separate in the mix. Btw, I love your Pekoe... such a sweetie pie!

[@dbdsar112358]

I've probably seen this video a dozen times. Pekoe makes me laugh so much, every time KZbin recommends this I can't say no. I love these mixes too. But Pekoe steals the show in my opinion. ;D

[@EveBolt]

Hehehe XD Thank you!! :) Gotta love a talkative little cat like Peks ;)

[@Finkeldinken]

I'm the same, here right meow, getting mah pretty colours and mah Pekoe shot. ^-^ I have some favourite mixes but I think my current obsession is PY129 and Da Vinci's Fuchsia - probably any darkish magenta really, because it makes the most scrumptious tan to olive skin tones. Maimeriblu's Sepia and PB16, I think it's called Turquoise Green, is one of the yummiest, moodiest, weirdly dusty neutral combos I know, and I adore it.

[@DeniseSmithCreative]

Love the opera pink and lemon! I think that would make a great skin tone!

[@tessa6307]

Love these mixes! It was helpful hearing what you use each mix for. My favorite colors to mix are green gold with performers violet. They make such pretty tans, browns, and ochres.

[@sigrunella1]

I love this video!!! So many new mixing ideas to try out

[@StrawberryLegacy]

I love mixing PB60 Indanthrone Blue and PG7 Phtalo Green for a deep teal color, though most of the time I tone it down with just a hint of orange. I also love mixing PV55 Quinacridone Purple into my skin color to make a quick and warm shadow color, it gives for beautiful three-dimensional shades.

[@markdonovan1540]

I love those Cobalt Teal mixes, they produce an interesting variety of tones plus granulation depending on what it's mixed with. I'll definitely experiment with this. Thank you. Subscribed!

[@itsteganyay]

This was a fun video, both the content and the interruptions :) My favorite mix is probably PY129 with a blue. I enjoy painting foliage, and I like the bright yet earthy colors it provides, very versatile.

[@carolynderricks3226]

Hi Eve, I enjoy seeing these color combos! I agree with you esp on the blues for skies! In Florida, the closer you are to the coast, the more cobalt teal the sky usually is, vs a more deep blue inland. So I also associate the cobalt teal with warm weather at the beach! I think it has to do with minerals from the sea water in suspension in the atmosphere! Adorable purrs!

[@EveBolt]

I'm glad to see I'm not the only one who also made these associations with blues and skies! Though it really makes color temperatures a lot more confusing lol

[@beanbeanster7219]

This just popped up in my recommendations feed. I'm so glad it did. This was so interesting and fun. Thanks for sharing. Subbed and I'm looking forward to watching more of your videos. 🙂💎

[@JosefinaH33]

Jejeje I love that the cat also participated 🤣

[@pattyleib]

Thank you! So much fun

[@monopinion8799]

Très intéressant et pratique. Merci beaucoup.

[@EveBolt]

Je suis contente que ça soit utile! Merci! :D

[@stephaniereed8869]

Love the close up, really see texture in paper

[@juleeahlman]

Watching your video, I just turned around looking for my fur baby! It took me a minute to figure out it was coming from the video. Someone really should make a sleep audio tape with that sweet purr and trill that they make when they want attention. Its so calming.

[@lucehermezs]

supreme colour mixes with supreme cat noises and your lovely calm narration... a Hattrick for a perfect video !!

[@KRCanetti]

I played the video twice because the first time I was painting and I just not watching mindful what you were doing, colours, mixes. Second time: so glad I played it again. I'm still a bit traditional with mixes or often paint straigt out of the pan. Seeing this makes me eager to try other painting techniques within the range of paints I have. I love the macro shots. And the guest appearence. And the purrrrrrrrrrrrs

[@MassimilianoDeliso]

I really enjoyed this video! Thank you Eve!

[@joymiller9668]

I love those 2 sennelier colors colbalt green and caput mortum, i also mix them

[@miaomiaochan]

My cat perked up upon hearing yours and seemed to be looking for him. If only we could understand their language. 😸

[@MirandaWatsonArt]

Such a purr-baby. I also love Cobalt Teal.

[@ashleywang8665]

this is very interesting colour mixing method. The way you mixing high chroma colour down to a more neutral hue is very eye opening! I think I should get a tube or two as some additional mixing colours in to my palette.

[@dbdsar112358]

Very helpful video! But I cannot stop laughing at Pekoe 😂 such a gem

[@EveBolt]

Hehe! She's a peculiar kitty, for sure! XD

[@Finkeldinken]

These are all super gorgeous! I've been mildly obsessed with the mixes from Maimeriblu PB16 (Don't remember what they call it - turquoise something - it's a bit on the green side compared to other PB16s I've seen) and Maimeriblu Sepia from the new line, which is PY164. Super moody and beautiful greys!

[@Finkeldinken]

Also HI PEKOE!!

[@gailbrule1744]

Loved this video!! Cat person here too...ha. I loved these mixes particularly the second one...oh my what a gorgeous combo. I used what I had (DS) and really liked the separation/granulation. My fav mix to date has been DS’s Piemontite Genuine with Lunar Blue! Did not come up with this on my own - CreationsCeeCee turned me onto it. I love how generous the art community is for sharing these golden tidbits. Thanks Eve!

[@EveBolt]

Thank you! I'll have to try that mix, it sounds awesome!! :D Sharing is the best! Who knows who will stumble upon something really awesome?! Why keep it a secret?

[@Kaninchenbau]

I loved the all input this episode's guest gave, it was very thoughtful and interesting 😂❤️

[@stevemurray6543]

I don't color mix much. More knowledge and conference is required. Thanks for leading me in that journey.

[@JestemGlonojadem]

Very useful, thank you! I have a soft spot for cobalt colours and I agree about cobalt teal, it's one of the most unique pigments out there. Can't miss it!

[@lindyashford7744]

I loved the wild bright colours you got using teal mixes, they are just so much fun. You covered a lot of bases with your mixes but the fun of watercolour is finding ones that really look sumptuous. I am enjoying the greens I can achieve with my Roman Smal Adam Papke set made with the blues and yellows included plus Aquarius Green. They beat any readymade greens hands down. Am about to add some more colours and in researching them have learned the Aquarius caput mortuum is granulating, and shall add an Aquarius black too, and am really looking forward to the colour magic I can get with these. I have a huge Lukas tube of cobalt teal which I love, and it somehow works its way into things when I want its special qualities. The colours that are most daunting on their own seem to be really good in mixes, so another favourite is Chromium oxide green with chinese/zinc white and tiny additions of yellows and reds to make the most subtle of pale greens, that come out pale and strong instead of the wishy washy you get will over-diluted transparent greens. I just broke the received wisdom on blacks and whites in water colour! Admittedly not all whites and blacks are the same, So mine are a very transparent white and a highly granulating black. I just wish my full pan boxes had more space in them. Your kitty's noises were delightful!

[@eternal8song]

my favorite mix which i discovered by total accent is PV23 with PG15. the green and the purple somehow neutralize into a gorgeous indigo blue

[@hannahthufvesson]

I love the mixes Daniel Smith's Carbazole Violet and Perylene Green make (haven't tried other brands yet). They make a black if you use a little violet with a lot of the green, but I also love all the moody shades in between! (Especially when mixed directly on the paper, because of the variation you get in hues.)

[@jenniefrench1338]

Thanks Eva I wasn't liking the DS cobalt teal. Maybe I can use it for a unique sky. It looked terrible with yellow. Very unique mixes.🤗 I love the Mayan dark blue with almost anything. It makes moody mixes oh and the Perylene violet.

[@EveBolt]

Hi Jennie! What do you dislike of DS' cobalt teal? I love Mayan dark blue and perylene violet, these two make for beautiful mixes with other colors :D

[@ev.8972]

Kinda similar to your first mix, I love a medium tone warm red like Quinacridone coral with cobalt teal, specifically one that granulated like qor :)

[@petermarlas8412]

hahaha! i laughed when i saw pekoe pop up! i was hoping you were going to surprise us at the end by a scout appearance. really loved pekoe in the corner :)

[@EveBolt]

Pekoe had a LOT to say about color mixes, apparently!! XD

[@5yarcottages397]

Terrific !!!!! What lovely mixes TFS

[@StrawberryLegacy]

You had me at color mixing with feline guests

[@hlk01]

So, you set me off. I've been mixing all morning 😁 My mission gold pb28 turquoise wasn't as pretty with Roman Szmal's Caput M as your mix but it was OK. It turned out much better with the pbr25 red brown from mission gold. Anyhoo it's been fun.

[@JuneJournalss]

Hello! I don’t know if you will read this but I really do need help. I want to start making my own old holland watercolors with the pigment they offered to sell in jars. But I do not know which three primary color to choose from as they have so many different yellows and blues and red. In your professional opinion, which three would be the best to start with a build a full palette upon? If you think there’s some other crucial colors that should be included like a purple or an earthy color please include them too! Thank you so much!!

[@Dan.B.Artist]

My fav mixes are PY3 with anything and PY150 with anything. I also like perylene violet and perylene green mixed together. Cobalt teal is really nice but I never can find a use for it in my work.

[@soulsisterssurvivorssister8463]

I absolutely love Cobalt Teal by QoR!!! The mixes I've made are da bomb!

[@TsukabuNosoratori2]

Oooh... Eve video and some kitty asmr? I'm down! xD

[@mettainacan7813]

wtc???? (what the cat)

[@LulluNatic]

I didn't know you. I ran across this video and gave it a go because I love watercolor but I have to say it was really unpleasant to watch. This cat popping up anytime and masking what you're doing is really bugging me and ruins it all (and I'm a cat lover!).

[@EveBolt]

Sorry you feel this way! It's always a gamble as a video-maker to figure out when people actually watch a video (versus just listening to it) or what they like to watch. I'll keep your feedback in mind for future videos! :)

[@LulluNatic]

@@EveBolt I didn't expect you to answer my comment, let alone kindly, so thank you for that. Well, it seems a bit odd to me to listen to a watercolor painting video, unless you're blind ^^

[@EveBolt]

@@LulluNatic That's a fair point! I watch/listen to videos while I work, so I'm not always looking. I guess I should remember that I'm talking about a very visual subject XD

[@M0odyBlue]

Interesting video, but please lose the pop up fake cat.

[@EveBolt]

No luck, I'm keeping her ;)
