I was today years old, when I learned you can make the primary colors by combining the cool and the warm. 😮 I had no idea that if, for example, you combined your warm yellow and your cool yellow, you got primary yellow. Mind blown!! Same for blues and reds. Thank you for this!!

I really hadn’t wanted to learn about colour theory - it just seemed so confusing. And I have no illusions about being an artist, I just wanted to play around with watercolours. But I was getting so frustrated as couldn’t even mix the colours I saw in my mind. Luckily I stumbled across this tutorial and it was like a eureka moment. I knew about hot and cold colours but had no idea there were hot and cold versions of the primary colours and how they interact when mixed. Thanks for sharing!

Excellent! A gorgeous and informative video. I send your Watercolor for Beginners playlist to anyone who asks me questions, and they always love it. Even if you aren't a beginner, it has tips that a lot of people didn't know. I just saw someone in a FB group say she'd been painting for years and never understood how to mix a purple until now! Thank you so much for what you do and how you do it! Looking forward to your classes! ♥

I'm a beginner, and am loving mixing colors. Something I'm noticing though is the color I'm getting once the paint is dry is very different than the color I mixed in my pallet. I get that the colors dry different, even when not mixing, but how do I wrap my brain around what I'm mixing and what's going to come out dry on my paper? Hope do I get better results?

I have also done my first "Sarah Burns" chart, using DS Hansa Yellow Light, but now I'm stuck 😢. Do I now repeat the process using say, New Gamboge as the main colour? My head is telling me I've already done this, but just in reverse on my first chart???? I'm lost😂.

Hi Jackie! I did your color swatching charts with the split primary colors. Looks and feels so much better than the other grid kind (confusing). Question: Why in the world is French Ultramarine considered WARM? Is it because it leans towards Violet? Also the pigment code is PB. I’m so confused. Seems like it should say PR or PV I’m still trying to understand pigment codes:/ Thx!
@JackieHernandezWatercolor4 ай бұрын
I’m so glad the charts were helpful. French Ultramarine is considered warm because it leans toward red. Cool blues, like Phthalo blue, lean toward green. The pigment code PB stands for “Pigment Blue” and the number is the specific pigment. Hope that helps!

when buying paints will they indicate if they are warm or cool? how do i know?
@JackieHernandezWatercolor14 күн бұрын
They will not, because a color would be considered warm or cool relative to another color. You can compare color swatches or compare to the colors I shared in this video. There are many other artists that share color comparison videos too. Also, the descriptions on Daniel Smiths website will often say if a color is warm or cool, so reading those is helpful.

Love your explanations but I have a question: how do you know a yellow for example is cool or warm?
@JackieHernandezWatercolor8 ай бұрын
Cool yellows lean more toward the green side of the color wheel. Warm yellows lean more toward orange. It’s all relative. Paint a swatch of each of your yellows and compare them side by side. When you compare them it’s easier to see which ones are more orange and which ones are more green. Hope that helps!
@privatename8228Ай бұрын
I'm glad I wasn't the only person watching this video not understanding which colors are warm and which are cool. 🤔 Perhaps that would be a video all by itself for those of us who are in the very beginning stages of watercolor. (Or perhaps you have done that already in another video.)
