I could watch you paint anything! I just love how much brush control you have-a great example to aspire to.

[@duke2011ful]

I’m brand new to watercolor. I’ve learned so much in the first hour of watching you. I’m old LOL so I’m jumping all in and learning as much as I can!

[@Coasterdude02149]

You just gave me a great idea for a colour wheel. Geometric constructs are my other big love and being new to watercolour, a perfect journey. I'm going to draft a mandala and have the centre a tertiary colour wheel. Maybe I'll wait, as I just ordered your brushes off Craftamo....can't wait to use them and I want that to be my first project with them. Thanks Emma!

[@Oceans1974]

For people using Winsor and Newton, they have their suggested primary colors listed on their website, which is awsome when learning to mix. Thank you Emma. Will be making one of these with my Tubes and one for my liquid watercolors.😍

[@yellow5225]

Same with Schmincke ♡

[@anjah.9508]

Thanks, Emma! I have just painted my own color wheel, after watching this video. Very helpful.

[@ruthgoebel723]

Thanks for this! This is my next task. I have to laugh at your little one in the background......my son used to do that when he was little. EVERY TIME I had to be on the phone, he would break into incessant chatter at the top of his lungs. Enjoy those moments, they grow up so fast. My son is now 24. ❤️

[@zeelinkejiofor1229]

How do you do it

[@Galbereth]

Your explanation of warm n cool versions of colours is Great!! I'm just about to start my watercolour journey so all this info is fabulous! Thank you 👍🖌️

[@bikinggal1]

I am doing this as I am hosting a paint night and want the ladies to watch and make a colour wheel before the class. I have never really used a colour wheel as I paint by eye and intuition, which I know sounds weird but its always worked for me. But for the paint night I think this will be helpful for them! Oh and I will learn new things too!! Thanks Emma

[@bevelynfernandez9690]

Goodevening miss emma, Thank you for this helpfull tutorial Its really helpfull for me im sure i will get a high score bc of this THANK U FOR COMPLETING MY PROJECT ❤

[@legcard]

Excellent. Thank you. I’ll be watching your channel for other tips.

[@markdunlap250]

So relaxing and fun to watch, especially for a beginner. Oh and the family noise in the background added bonus especially the dog grunting 😂

[@cutiesweetsmile]

This is amazing, I had fun doing it despite being slow and drawn a wrong portion for the circle. However the clock circle worked well with me. It’s amazing feeling with mixing colors! 😁😃🙏 thanks Jane!

[@pennyclark9079]

Another great video priceless information Thanks so much 👏👏👏👏👏

[@barbaram5787]

Okay, I finally did this. I have been needing it now that I'm painting more seriously. THANK YOU.

[@LisaYoungmpp]

Thank you for sharing this, Emma!!

[@annajavier5712]

I am a color wheel freak I love making them. I hav a die and stamp set from waffle flower and it has been the best thing I have gotten

[@cheapscaitcreates7362]

Anna Javier do you have a link for that? I’d love to get one

[@annajavier5712]

Cheapscait Creates waffle flower and find the link for color combo they have a great watercolor swatch too you will love it

[@carolyndaughton3373]

Thank you! I can't wait to give this a try.

[@pamketron]

Great job Emma. Looks great and really important to know and to have.

[@kathykujawski7279]

Great refresher course. Thank you!

[@sheilapye5032]

Wonderful information! Thank you Emma!

[@smellofpaints9219]

Emma is my saviour for watercolors 😭

[@LizatHome]

I've been meaning to do this for so long. So happy you made this video.

[@catrinanerey1596]

Thank you....very helpful for the colors I'm working with.

[@staceyvaas1210]

Thank you Emma. I enjoy your videos ♥️

[@Jokerenn1]

Thanks Emma Jane, you learned me so much. And you do it so understandable!

[@louiseschultz2064]

You read my mind! I need a color wheel and was on on Amazon looking for one. This is SOOO much better. It'll teach me something and will help me dig into my new paints. Thank you!

[@lizzy9975]

If you're doing that - at least go to Aliexpress where they're around 75% cheaper..... they're all coming from the same factories in China! Although I'm trying my best to avoid buying anything from China these days!

[@user-ow5fm2cu6f]

Good demo. I created my own color wheel . With the paints I have, I can come up the mix I want, almost. Tomoko

[@juhisonde9735]

Awesome lessson thank you

[@freakinkim]

Super helpful video!!🙌🏼

[@charlotteherschel7340]

Thank you, made my first color wheel ever. ❤

[@lisar3951]

It would be fun to see this color wheel, but done in the pastel version of it.

[@PataPtichou]

It's exactly the same but add more water

[@sumanyukohli9576]

It's amazing Emma

[@pmalihamahpara2327]

really good Emma

[@truthfulT]

[@sia_ih]

Great video for beginer like me.I have learn a lot.Thanks

[@aida087]

Hi Emma and thank you for sharing!! I've been wanting to practice watercolor painting for some time now, and I'm happy I found your video for the color wheel!! Btw, out of curiosity, I checked out your playlists, and I absolutely love your color palettes you've used, BEAUTIFUL!!❤️❤️❤️🥰🙏🏼

[@solovjud]

Thank you ❤️🎈

[@OnePillKillz]

Thanks for sharing this

[@tkkozeluh]

Thank you so much for this! It wouldn’t be so difficult if manufacturers named their colors the same names…or maybe telling us this is primary red, blue, yellow.

[@zeelinkejiofor1229]

Thanks ❤❤

[@prettyblimp]

thanks Emma.

[@geraldinelucas3143]

Always thought I would get this done so far have not. Maybe this will motivate me.

[@patriciabeyer7824]

🥰💞 Thank you very much.

[@janetsmith7147]

Yes, Emma, I am a beginner and I do need to do this!!! Thank you!

[@zeelinkejiofor1229]

Nice

[@jillbooker7970]

Emma this video was so informative! I have watched several videos on making colour wheels and you are the first person to detail how much of each primary colour to add when making the secondary colours! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 my question is: how much of each paint do you use when mixing tertiary colours? And to be clear to make a tertiary we are mixing a primary with a secondary?? Not a primary with the last tertiary we mix? I was a bit confused as it seemed that’s what you did a couple of times?? Or maybe I just saw it wrong..will watch again for sure ☺️

[@mirandazurek5300]

I had this same question! Each new tertiary color seems “contaminated” by the previous tertiary color.

[@lindsayface4750]

That was definitely a “mistake” on her part, as she has an expert’s eye for color mixing. But for beginners, you absolutely should not be using the last tertiary color to make the second tertiary. What you want to do is leave two sections of the secondary color. For example, we’ll use green. Create two independent portions of your palette using this green, and with one, add an equal amount of blue. That will be your first tertiary color. Next, mix equal parts yellow with your second portion of green. That will give you your second tertiary color. You’ll want to avoid contaminating the entire secondary color with one primary, then having to overcompensate with the second primary. If you’re using her setup, then when she goes to mix the first primary into her secondary, then she should only mix half of the secondary. The other half would be for the second primary. Use equal parts of the secondary with the primaries. I hope this helps and makes sense. It’s hard to explain in text, but I can try to explain it again if this is too confusing.

[@mesiidesk2394]

Can’t believe I didn’t do this earlier heh

[@soniverma8102]

How do you make so great how do you make it so great

[@sallyalter6003]

Thanks, Emma. Very interesting. I wonder if you could tell me something. Is your palette filled with Windsor and Newton 24 half pans? I want to buy some more paints, and like the idea of the way you have them in a palette where you can mix them as well. Do you think it is worth getting 24 professional colors for $103 rather than the Cotman 45 colors for $50? Still can't make up my mind. Thanks so much, Sally

[@theartcart455]

Hi Emma! I’m first! Thanks for another vid!

[@lonironi3754]

Did you go to art school, just learned in high school or just teaching yourself?

[@virginiabaer1110]

Question: primary blue….which color of blue do you use, please?

[@lupitadaza8165]

What paper es good for acuarela please?

[@lizzy9975]

This is so good! I swear if you'd been my infants and primary school teacher my art and painting skills would have been vastly improved! I hope you eventually go back to teaching children, because your skill set is so rare for today! I actually ended up with an awesome art teacher but not until year 10, so by then it was to late! Edit: Just did a second view...... where did you find the Bee paper? It's like trying to win the lottery to get your hands on it - I'm in Australia as well... so it's even harder!

[@EmmaLefebvre]

I'm down to my last few pieces from my supply from months ago!

[@lizzy9975]

@@EmmaLefebvre Ok... well I managed to grab a 5 yard roll off Amazon a couple of months ago then!

[@chrisb.4496]

NEVER APOLOGIZE for family, NEVER!

[@piggy7748]

How about brown, white, and black?

[@nataliyagavrilova3329]

With all due respect you should name the colors properly. Not reddish-orange, but red-orange. And you always start with the primary color then secondary color. For example blue- purple, not purple - bluish.

[@zeelinkejiofor1229]

Thanks ❤❤
