Getting Started with Polymer Clay: What Colors of Polymer Clay to Start With

[@cottew]

Wow. Samantha, as an artist, I sincerely appreciate you showing this. Not everyone knows the differences between warm and cool hues within the same color. You did great illustrating this for us.

I had no idea Premo colors were that complicated. This was very helpful, Samantha; thanks for taking the time to explain it so clearly.

The whole cool/warm color thing with Premo! explains a lot of my frustration with that brand. I understand the why, I just didn't know that it applied to Premo! Very informative. Thank you for sharing.

Important note!! - Video ends at 6:15 with just a black screen for the remainder of the time. Excellent information. 😊

Thank you, Samantha. This was extremely helpful. I wish I had seen it sooner! (This is Elizabeth Beveridge, by the way)

[@judithh1259]

This was so very helpful!!! I follow all of that advice in watercolor painting, never understood the two premo translucents. Thank you.

[@jenniferroya3606]

I had no idea about this. Thanks so much. Colour mixing is still a mystery for me.

[@lynlalalala]

Wow!!! So much knowledge!!! Thank you for the very important information!!! 💕 💕 💕

Kato also has a true primary colour selection, which are extremely intense pigments. You can download a polymer clay, colour mixing chart from the Internet. If unsure, try mixing a very small amount of your colour choices to see if you get your desired colour blend, or end up with mud. There is no wasted clay in polymer clay work, you can find a use for even mud. The information on warm and cool spectrum in Premo is worth noting. If you are finding your brand of polymer clay is very soft to use, particularly in warm weather, then try using Kato which can be difficult to condition in the cooler months.

Wow, I'm so glad I watched this video. I have watched many videos about working with clay, beforehand, but this one was probably the most important one of all!! I had no idea that there was a warm and cool with premo.... I just ordered the primary colors, the black, white and translucent, ONLY, I don't know the type of blue I ordered.....the yellow and red are warm, but I don't know about the blue....oh my! Oops!!! Lol....but hey, I'm glad I know now before I started mixing color's!😊 I'm a 'newbie' and wanted to know and learn all I could before investing in this new craft. Thank you for this very helpful and informative video 😊

Thank you Samantha that is a most helpful tutorial

[@minkytoms6784]

Thank you Samantha for explaining the warm and cool color sides of Premo. It there a chart showing all the colors by warm and cool? I have mixed a lot of mud. It would be helpful to separate them, so no more mishaps.

[@JessamaTutorials]

I don't know of a chart for the premo colors. Sorry.

[@leonanelson2444]

Thank you Samantha

[@dehawklin]

Is translucent important in clay work Thanks for the video

[@JessamaTutorials]

It's not necessary to make most projects, however it is a great clay to have on hand as it can do stuff that the other colors can't

[@lilyn2341]

Hey Samantha, be careful with the reds. Actually magenta is the primary colour to mix with. Red already is a mix of magenta with yellow. Therefore you won't be able to mix violet or purple out of your colours. I ran into that problem already... I hope this helps with your next video, I am already looking forward to it. Love from Germany, Lily.

Yes with Premo the primaries are CMYK (cobalt blue/cyan, fuschia/magenta, and zinc yellow/yellow) rather than RGB.

[@Iamrahcole]

I mixed ultramarine blue and cadmium red to make purple and I got mud. Not sure if ultramarine is really warm toned. Or maybe the red has too much of a yellow undertone. Not sure what to do. I wanted to start working with clay with only the primary colors but after some research it seems this is a known issue with premo.

[@lindachiasson5626]

Thanks for this!

[@karenraabis5296]

Premo is my fav but Souffle is extra special.

[@elyceramirez9655]

Very helpful video thank you!

[@myaxox4737]

Can you mix fimo

[@JessamaTutorials]

Yes. You can use Fimo.

[@jackiemcarthur3638]

Hey I love your video! Getting started is such a good idea! I love seeing people put their time and dedication into clay~ it’s an awesome hobby to share! I’ve got a couple of videos myself if you’d like to check them out 💕

[@yomama1691]

Lovely video but is it supposed to be that long? Actual footage ends long before the video does.

[@JessamaTutorials]

I fixed the mistake. :D
