[@presidentjbr]

Jenna Rainey I like the blue and red combos!!

[@tuesdaynyx]

The 3rd combination in the first set was just fabulous. The opera rose with a little yellow. 🤤

[@erinpruitt201]

Love all of the leaf greens in the lemon yellow deep and dap green, but especially love the water colors that I got from the yellow and Cobalt turquoise. What a great exercise in color mixing. Thanks again Jenna, you inspire me!

[@fisherfeld]

I have tried to get your “supply list” email and nothing shows up!

[@Deankut]

It's difficult to choose just one...but, I think I'm in love with the middle value of Lemon Yellow Deep/Cobalt Blue. 🤌🏻

[@AmandaWiley]

I was definitely one of those people who didn't want to "waste" my supplies, I didn't experiment, I didn't color mix, I didn't try new things, and I was afraid to mess up a project. Once I realized that never using my supplies was truly the biggest waste I began experimenting, learning, and progressing super quick!

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

That's great, Amanda! I know, it can take jumping off the deep end and just going for it, but when you do, it's so rewarding and fun!

[@watercolourartincapetown2919]

Amanda Wiley so true Amanda!!! I started using my arches paper for practicing ! And my technique improved immediately!!!

[@soulsisterssurvivorssister8463]

This post could be written by me.

[@b.lab.__blab_colors]

Hello, I’m just starting my channel about Color swatching and your message stimulate me to go on. I understand you because the art supplies are normally expensive and this is why I start my channel. Thank you Amanda and thank you Jenna for this great experience!! 😄

[@laura3071934]

That's exactly where I am now 😔

[@melindaavila498]

So glad I found your channel! I am 75 years young and wanting to start watercolor for ages! The pandemic pushed me, and I am so encouraged by your approach. I downloaded your Floral E Book, thank you.

[@mieczyslawapascoe7234]

I can relate to your experience exactly, Melinda. I'm nearly 75, the lockdown has given me the final push and now the watercolor is part of my life. 😍

[@kimlindseyOH]

I really really enjoyed this exercise, so I decided to make myself an "easy button:" I used pencil to draw the 3 x 5 square pattern on one of those thin plastic cutting boards, then cut out the 15 little squares with an exacto knife. Now it works like a stencil! It will be easy to do 1-2 color charts every evening - can't wait to get started! :-)

[@casseyparrish7917]

That is a fantastic idea! I think I will do this!

[@halfpiint]

Great idea! Thanks

[@mariad4337]

I am just getting started at 67! I have been thrust into being Jacl of All trades just after I retired as my husband was diagnosed with cancer, and the a second cancer, and now while cancer free he has many complications due to his first surgery...so now, I am finally putting me in the front line and chose this art form, love that it "mixes with water" 😆 ! Just got my recommended brushes today and waiting on a palette pan and paper... I did order a set of clors and so am just going to begin filling in the chart that came with the set! I don't have favorites yet!

[@illancilla]

TIPS FOR A4 SHEET AND CM: A4 sheet is 28cmx21cm; split the sheet in four rectangles of 14cmx10.5cm. To obtain 3x5 (15) squares then proceed as follows: 1) split the biggest side of each rectangles (14 cm) with this sequence: 1cm-2cm-0.5cm-2cm-0.5cm-2cm-0.5cm-2cm-0.5cm-2cm-1cm; 2) split the smallest side of each rectangle (10.5cm) with this sequence: 1cm-2m-1cm-2m-1cm-2m-1.5cm. Use pencil HB to draw this scheme and then make it light with a kneadable eraser before proceeding with watercolor.

[@tuesdaynyx]

I’ve tried to make these so many times and I’m always disappointed. I’m happy you’re showing us your process.

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Hope this helps!! xoxo

[@susanhamilton3212]

Fascinated by this and can't wait to make a start with umbers and reds. My favourite of yours is the sweet pea colours, opera rose with cobalt. Last week I dug out my daughter's old paints and was horrified to see what a mess she had left them in - spent ages cleaning them up ... now I feel a right nitwit! Especially as she went on to get a first class honours degree in fine art & I'm just her old mum starting out with your lessons for beginners! Lesson 1: Mess up your paints to look like you know what you're doing but treat your paintbrushes like priceless treasures :) Thank you for a really valuable tutorial, one which gives you something to hang on the wall too!

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Haha, love reading this Susan and LOVE the excitement you have for watercolor!

[@CarolineLFranco]

I love how she says it’s “an excitement not an equation” 😭👏🏼gives me so much hope as a non-artist or type a perfectionist

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

❤️ ❤️ ❤️

[@LaineyBug2020]

That cobalt blue and lemon deep was the best turquoise mix I've seen and it wasn't even during my how to mix turquoise rabbit hole!

[@carolynbakula4556]

Recently discovered you. I loved this tutorial. I'm just now getting back into watercolor after 30 years and this is just what I needed. I had so much fun doing my first color study and can't wait to do another one. Thank you!

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

So glad you're loving my videos! Happy painting, Carolyn! ❤️

[@kristinadsouza9976]

As a type A, this hits ALLLLL the boxes 🤤 and I will definitely be trying this on days I have no inspiration but still want to paint. Also, found your Everyday Watercolor book at my library so I for sure brought that treasure home. Shout out to Emma Lefebvre for throwing your name around once or twice. 😍

[@cherisemorris8046]

I love this because by go to doodle in high school was checkerboard. So now I can have squares and a color board! Thanks, Jenna. Your tutorials are so fun to watch.

[@VuEsse]

This is by far the best color chart method I've seen. Thanks Jenna! Love how it enables me to learn about values and color mixing potential of my paints all at once. I'm going to follow your suggestion and do this for all my colors. For all the people who don't want to spend time drawing a lot of squares or are not fans of using rulers (*cough cough*), I'd suggest making the swatches in circles!

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Thank you SO much for sharing, Valentina!

[@kimmimaloney]

I just started watercolor painting, I had so much fun doing this exercise!! It's a great way to start painting and exploring color with no expectations. Love your videos, super inspiring ❤️

[@Janesdesigns]

I can hardly wait for my watercolors to arrive. This looks like so much fun. Thank you

[@cpjpc]

Finally go to do this. It is amazing to learn about colours and combinations. Thank you so much. Also, your podcasts are amazing! I still have a couple to go but I just wanted to say they are so positive and informative. And yes, definitely 5 ****** content

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Color charts are the BEST for learning colors and getting new, vibrant colors you didn't know you had! And thank you SO MUCH for listening to the new podcast and for leaving a 5 star! That means the world to me, thank you. xoxo

[@NatPaintThat]

Mixing colors is so fun. You’re really good at coloring in the squares 😊

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Mixing colors is like one of my favorite things! xoxo

[@caitlync6613]

I revisit these types of your videos frequently. They honestly are changing my painting practice immensely! Would love to hear more about how you are thinking about color theory these days!

[@stuffIneverforgotfrom90s]

I love water colour painting.. it seems very close to how nature would have painted it.. I am so happy I found your channel.. love how you underline the important stuff with more details.

[@Superfrogwoman]

This is a great idea. I'm brand new to watercolouring (it's my quarrantine hobby!) and have a brand new paint palette. I'll definitely make up some swatches to help me get a feel for how my colours blend together.

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Hey Sarah! Great hobby to pick up, I love hearing that. Have so much fun! This chart is so helpful to see what kind of colors you can get from your palette. Enjoy!

[@aliciagraysonstanley2449]

Excellent Video! Just starting with watercolors while in quarantine. I am a textile artist(self-taught) and always wanted to paint...so here I am. I am big on making charts, so this is a VERY valuable tool for me. THANK YOU!!

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

You're so welcome, Alicia! ❤️

[@nettstaib9098]

Finally got around to trying this, was fun mixing the colours n discovered some lovely peach tones. Thanks for being so natural when you teach, love that about you.

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Thanks for sharing and for the encouragement! Much appreciated!

[@lizabrown1121]

I'm so glad I found you. I appreciate you and so many ways. You crack me up all the time, love that you are being yourself. Makes your videos real and enjoyable to watch. Kudos to you and your husband for the professional videos that don't have me ever skipping through. Muaahh

[@hshwhitten]

I’m new to watercolors. The warm and cool cup of waters is going to be a game changer for me. I kept giving up. Thanks

[@christierella]

This is an excellent way to see what pigments you have access to, you've inspired me to make swatches! Thank you.

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Yay! Enjoy making those color swatches!

[@jeannetteantry1086]

This is such a great way to see how colors mix and to see how lighter values work with the water. I am going to make this chart. This lesson really shows me what I don't know about mixing color. Thanks for sharing this video.

[@debbiegoan6307]

I loved this exercise. I was so informative and relaxing. I will do more!

[@verap8792]

LOVED this exercise. It really helped me to get to know my pallette so much better and really looks pretty. Thank you for another very informative video

[@sharonrunstedler793]

That was so interesting! Thank you Jenna! I am excited to try it and learn more colour theory!

[@karlenelambrechts3519]

Making this colour chart was so satisfying!

Amazing tutorial. Excellent to don't be afraid about colors, water and mixing them confidently. I am going to make my own chart fearless (well, more or less fearless 😅).

[@Kaleumin]

thank you, spent the whole saturday painting color charts, so meditative :)

[@RhapsodyinGraphics]

So much fun and I finally get how it all works now! Thank you!

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Awesome!

[@rhonaberengut8248]

Loved this exercise. Loved the more subtle hues from Permanent Rose and Cerulean Blue and the Lemon Yellows and Viridian Green, then Hookers Green and Turquoise. Even Lemon Yellow and Ultra Marine gave me much more interesting green than pure pigment. I loved this so much, I'm going to do another chart - and I hate the tedium of drawing the chart!!

[@isabellethouin8899]

I need to find the courage to do this...I have watched alot of videos of chart colors and I have to admit that yours is not boring like others....I really like the way you are doing this....I will definitly find some time to do this, It is worth it, I Know!!! Thank you for your videos!!!!! 🙏🖼🎨🖌📏📊

Also, you’re hilarious 😂

Aw thank you so much for the love and support!!! I really appreciate you!

[@anitahikspoors3082]

I really Loved this video!!! and the way you teach. Learned a lot about color combo's. The favorite combo I made was sap green/ prussian blue. Thank you very much, looking forward to your other video's!

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Awesome! Thank you for sharing your kindness Anita! ❤️❤️

[@dianeuranowski3694]

I loved how the color chart made tangible the meanings of a Color's Hue vs. Color Values; hear that sound? that's me smacking myself in the forehead! Also, I loved the colors you got by mixing Opera Rose and Scarlet Lake ; perfect shades for a Ruby throated humming bird -- it's makes me think of a Chinese red -- that sort of blaze red orange that I see in my mind & can now mix for myself! Thank you so much!

[@erinpruitt201]

great tutorial Jenna, thank you for sharing your knowledge

Thank you, Erin, for watching!

[@malkavian6]

you are super approachable . I have learned a lot... I am canadian.... and i dont have an accent lol. but thank you forgiving us your knowledge. thank you.

[@orangehead75]

Oh man, I discovered a lot of fun colors :) I like some of the combos using Naples Yellow and Prussian Blue, Naples Yellow and Cerulean Blue, and during my "let's discover different orange shades using my different red and yellows" project, I really only discovered one orange, which is Lemon Yellow and Scarlet together. But there are lots of pretty colors on the page...just not many oranges ;) But hey, not a waste! Lots of other fun colors, like the mid tier of Lemon Yellow and Crimson Red. By the way, I'm a STRONG type A person...so I appreciate the organization of combining colors...and also find it somewhat relaxing, and I feel creative...even though I'm not really (and not artistic). Lol. Thanks for letting me join you in this journey, and for all your instruction! I've watched many of your videos.

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Thanks for letting me in to your color journey, Christie!! I appreciate your feedback and the support you give my channel!

[@vanessaboman8143]

My favourite colour was with the blues and yellow... I love green! Those greens were wonderful... The deeper greens in the patriarch out were so delightful to me... I got excited to try out what I have. I have Windsor and Newton 24 half pan set. I need to expand my paints, but yes, yes, yes, they are costly... But I am convinced the purchases will be well worth the expense. ... I have water colour pencils I will try out this way too...

[@vanessaboman8143]

What is it called when the colours separate when dried.. It's so pretty, I love that effect.

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Hey Vanessa! So glad you enjoyed the video! Some pigments are granulating pigments and separate more easily than others, but as for a specific term, I'm not sure! Color separation? Haha! I don't know if there's a technical term for that. Maybe...??

[@iambricko]

Brit here, "How does it convert?" Ha ha! love the accent. Love your channel btw Jenna. Keep the great content coming.

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

LOL! Glad you liked that, haha. ❤️

[@acerituraj4153]

Really good and informative video. I find this chart technique to be great help in future while creating a specific color in future drawings. Also seeing all those shades of colors was really pleasant to watch. Also these swatch practice is helpful with light colors as sometimes adding white to a color has proven disastrous for me in past. So that's a big pro that I see in this video. Video was excellent however I did miss the loose watercolor technique of yours where brush just glides over the paper to create a beautiful piece of art. Keep up the good work Jenna :D

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

I am SO glad you got so much out of this, Ace, thanks so much for sharing and thanks for watching! :)

[@k4but0x]

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Awesome, thanks for sharing Stephanie!

[@keelynwhite7667]

I absolutely LOVE your channel! I will be trying this exercise today. I was drawn to the blue painting in the back- do you have a tutorial that shows how to make something like that??

[@debbrantstevens8826]

Block rectangle or colour card are 3 inches across x 4 1/4 inches deep. Metric: squares are about 20mm with 3mm gaps. Rectangles are 66mm across x 112mm deep to the nearest easily measured amount 112mm is about 4 1/2 inches so works out just a little larger. It's easier to measure squares as 20mm rather than 18mm square. Less maths! Love the mixing concept. There are more options with a typical 12 colour sketching palette. Using postcards with a holepunch in one corner to tie them together with a tag is an easy organisation method. With a split primary palette alone is (I think!) 15 rectangles!

[@SailingGarden]

HELP!!! What pencil do you use for your grids? You are the most entertaining you-tube-artist-instructor! You have obviously studied art and are willing to share it, that's amazing! Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am so excited to try out my new Daniel Smith 5 color set, that are coming today, and his 235 dots!!! What kind of a pencil should I use? What kind did you use in this video? I am scared to waste my first expensive paper!! Do you have a custom grid that makes the 3x5 grids or do you truly use a ruler? You are the best! Keep you goofy- confident personality- it makes your extreme talent fun and relatable!!!🤗🥰 please suggestions on my DS colors to blend...😊

[@MatzeMaulwurf]

Ohhhh no! Dooooon‘t do this 😱😱😱😱 I am a heeeaaavy type A! My pallet is heavily used. Looks like new but with deep dimples. Thanks for trying pushing me to a bit of B. But I can‘t. I‘m mixing all of the colors on a separate pallet

[@shafeeko7398]

ColorFULL

[@susanhamilton3212]

Just finished a ten-set colour chart and yea verily it was fun and produced pretty results, learnt a lot. In addition to your eight sets I had room to do one lemon to viridian (some lovely cool greens resulted) and then went mad & tried lemon to royal purple! It produced some lovely rich browns and delicate sepias so well worth the experiment.

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Wonderful! Thanks for sharing Susan! ❤️

[@user-ti5ld3xk9p]

Thank you 🌹

[@fazestorm4441]

I am going to try this

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Do it! 😊

[@rockiesmamma]

Opera rose and lemon yellow deep. Swoon!

[@JennaRaineyChannel]

Right?!

[@robynolfert4779]

Loved this video-how fun! What do you do if you want to cover a big area with one of the low value swatches you made? Maybe that’s a silly question, but I’m trying to wrap my head around how you get a lot of one colour that you achieved by dipping your brush in water. Also, I’m new at this and finding out that I’m a type A painter. I’ve been watching videos and stressing out whenever I see an artist going from one colour to the next. I would just like everyone to stay in their own lane on the pallet. Also, everyone just mixes in wells that still have pigment on them from last time. Clearly I need to loosen up.

[@teri9636]

What a great video! Patience Yes but you broke it down and now it seems less intimidating. Actually looking a little like fun, Thanks!

[@ajoydas-Watch-It]

Loved the singing and dancing. Fun Fact did you know that 1 drop of water is exactlay 1cm wide on a dense surface. The metric system was invented by the Egyptians who knew this centuries ago not the french who claimed it centuries later. They also painted with Watercolors. The inch system was invented by the romans who divided the foot originally into 16 parts which they took from the greek but than later into 12. Thx for the Video I just bought your book and thought I check out the Channel. ;)

As a beginner, I love the color chart I created and refer to it a lot. I'd especially love to learn how to create lots of different shades of Green so I thought I'd create another study chart on the reverse side of this chart! If you were going to do a Color Study Chart for greens what colors would you experiment with besides, or in addition to the blues we have in this chart? Any help is appreciated bc paper is so expensive I'd love some guidance. Thanks

If you paint all of the top row of all four rectangles at once it might make the process a little quicker.

Would you consider sharing your color chart with mixes to help beginners get a start?

I’ll have to do another color video soon!

I was gifted your first book , looove it, and this video is super helpful. Great accent ‘metric system’ 😂. I use inches (paper) but then use kilometers ( distance) , go figure.
