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!!

[@beverlyhelm5287]

Me too

[@wendycombs2949]

you are amazing! you ought to be awarded as the most generous watercolor guru 🏆

[@JackieHernandezWatercolor]

Thank you 😊

[@polgara28]

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! ♥

[@JackieHernandezWatercolor]

You’re amazing! Thank you so much for sharing my videos. I appreciate the support.

Hi Jackie, what a wonderful video. I learned so much. And with all these small mixing steps I'll be a pro in no time (not really, but I learn every day) 🤣🤣.

[@JackieHernandezWatercolor]

Thank you! I think you’ll be surprised how quickly the color mixing will become intuitive.

[@jvisser4848]

Fantastic explanation, I will be making those wheels. Thank you VERY much, Jackie!

[@JackieHernandezWatercolor]

You’re VERY welcome!

[@peggydid]

I can't wait to make all the color wheels and charting!

[@user-gl6dg8ho3j]

Your advice and tips are SO clear and helpful!

[@JackieHernandezWatercolor]

I'm so glad!

[@TheStringgirl]

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!

[@JackieHernandezWatercolor]

I’m so glad you didn’t give up and you found this video. I hope it helps.

[@peggybarranca2218]

Oh my goodness!! Just found you and love the way you teach. Now I’m binging on your other videos and loving them. You have made complex issues so simple, thank you.

[@JackieHernandezWatercolor]

Yay! I’m glad you’re enjoying the videos.

[@HodgePodgePom]

[@JackieHernandezWatercolor]

Thank you so much. I appreciate the feedback. It takes a lot of time to make a concise video and I’m glad you enjoy them!

[@MercyCuenca]

NICELY PRESENTED, very understandable.

[@MercyCuenca]

I do think it would've been convenient for you to call out the full color names of your abbreviations on the color mixing swatches.

[@brunybearart]

[@marijkeschellenbach2680]

Thank you, thank you for this great tutorial. This old 84 year old brain needs all the help it can get.

[@JackieHernandezWatercolor]

You're very welcome!

[@johngrady3492]

Very informative!! I believe I can figure out most of the initials you use on the last sets of color charts but not all. Would you mind listing the initials and what they stand for? Thanks!!

[@danawagner9026]

W=warm C=cool Red Yellow Blue

[@sararovira210]

Love your explanations but I have a question: how do you know a yellow for example is cool or warm?

[@JackieHernandezWatercolor]

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!

More about colours and less about charts next time
