[@danaesquires7571]

your natural style is very similar to mine. I always feel a little inadequate because I'd love to be tighter and more "realistic". Then I see your work and breathe a sigh of relief that someone does something lovely and artful without falling prey to the tyranny of "should". Thank you.

[@lori_bain]

Your limited palette videos are some of my favorites because they teach me about the possibilities. Thanks, Teoh!

[@teohyc]

+Lori Bain Thanks, welcome 😁

[@InLiquidColor]

Love that cerulean with the magenta! I'm going to have to use that more.

[@nicolle2126]

didn't think I'd see you in the comments so this was a nice surprise :)

[@Lostinthestarfissure]

Was just thinking the same thing, it makes such a beautiful colour!

[@teohyc]

I think Cerulean Blue Chromium can create an interesting and beautiful mix with any reds because the pigment is heavy and doesn’t mix well.

[@Port712]

I love love love your channel too.

[@arleebean]

Those shadows look fantastic!! I loved watching you put those in.

[@teohyc]

+arleebean Thanks 😁

[@ericli6987]

Yeoh is a best teacher and as a beginner I always can learn something from his videos because he knows what people need to know to learn watercolor painting without guess and save our time. Thank Yeoh!

[@nicolle2126]

That quinacridone magenta is such a gorgeous color! I've never been fond of mixing purples much but seeing that paint in action makes me consider adding it to my palette

[@TheMelanieprice]

Every time I think I’ve decided on a palette, Teoh explores more fab colors!

[@nou257]

you inspired me to get out of my comfort zone with colors, i now absolutely appreciate those colors separating, like the effect ultramarine blue + burnt sienna does. it made my sketches look more lively and more colorful and more vibrant! now this color mixes/glazing you did is just fantastic! makes me want to get a few more ds paints😂

[@drstagrid8394]

I really like Cerulean Blue Chromium particles that show through other colors!

[@danielleroxy]

Great video Teoh! At first I was scared your shadows were too dark, but when you added even darker tones & the white details everything popped!!! It looks amazing, such character!

[@teohyc]

+danielleroxy Light and dark are relative by comparison. The goal is to get the contrast right.

[@jennw6809]

Yes, also as they dry they lighten and really come to life!

[@MissRuthina]

This is legit my favourite limited colour pallet that you've done. So cool. Makes me want to buy more colours tbh, but I'm going to see if any of the colours I have give me a similar idea! Love the all the tones and texture in all this.

[@mariapeagler2667]

Nice paint out again Teoh. Since these are all cool colors, a bright orange won't happen, but I love the way your final painting turned out. Thanks for a great video!

[@teohyc]

+Maria Peagler Thanks 😁

[@lorijones9579]

I'm so glad you used cerulean blue chromium. I haven't fully appreciated that property of separation in mixes and I love the mixes. The painting is gorgeous. Thanks Teoh.

[@teohyc]

+Lori Jones It's something that oil paints can't do easily

[@lorijones9579]

A good reason to prefer watercolor.

[@jesshjlee]

I love these limited palette series!!👍💟

[@KittehNow]

Love those shadows!!!!!😊

[@TrueLoveX1027]

I love to mix my own colors and enjoy seeing what you get with your limited pallet videos. Always very informative and love your drawings!

[@ThePotjandikkies]

I really love your limited palette videos! They are so educational. It's really helpful that you explain the order of the colours you paint in. Very nice to be able to follow your thought proces. Keep up the good work! :)

[@teohyc]

+JYZSwan Thanks 😁

[@inkynfrost3183]

Another great job on this video! You’re so thorough and put a lot of thought into in depth coverage of your subjects. I’ve learned so much from watching your painting process and reviews. Keep up the good work :)

[@annettehansen6329]

I love how the shadows look alive!

[@theartisticactuary]

Great work Teoh! This must be the most useful video of yours that I've seen I've actually been experimenting just lately with three colour paintings: just one transparent blue, one transparent red and one transparent yellow. No earth colours. It's amazing what this can do to paintings. With my six primaries (warm and cold red, yellow and blue) I have eight possible combinations. I've swatched these, not as a colour wheel like yours but just in big rectangles with primaries on the outside just gradually blended into each other. It's helped me identify my four favourite triads.

[@sannojohasshu7590]

Very nice! Like the saturated color application.

[@TheMelanieprice]

Wow! So helpful to see how you layer colors on your sketch!

[@fufufuaru]

I love the purples they make

[@soon_to_emerge]

The shadows look amazing. I want to get granulating paint now to experiment with it.

[@milenabdesign]

I loved how the sketch turned out! One of my favorites!

[@teohyc]

+Milena Brandão Thanks 😁

[@susinok]

I've been making myself some triad exercises. I'll do 4 mini paintings, changing 1 primary from one painting to the next. It's been lots of fun.

[@iadenicole931]

You are an excellent teacher. Thank you, again, for sharing your expertise.

[@azzuparis]

Beautiful sketch, Teoh! The cereulean blue it's gorgeous. Thanks for this video 😁

[@teohyc]

Thanks 😁

[@SmasherBunny]

I love this palette! You explain your process so clearly -- very helpful for a beginner like me. Thanks, Teoh!

[@michegre]

Wow! I learned so much from this! Thank you!

[@lrincon4901]

Woow, love it. Thanks a lot for sharing your skills with us.

[@Raeleen]

loved the commentary! thanks so much~ very useful video! great work

[@Elana3805]

your style is so unique & i love it

[@teohyc]

Thanks 😊

[@MrsTiffanyGrey]

Wonderful series, thank you, Teoh!

[@teohyc]

+Tiffany Grey Welcome 😁

[@warmyellowshade]

The demo painting turned out really nice Teoh. Some great unexpected things happening here. Thanks for the video!

[@teohyc]

Thanks \ (•◡•) /

[@ColleenM61]

These are great colors! I like the orange these make. The granulation of that blue is wonderful! I have to get it :)

[@Adriana-eo9dx]

This makes me want to try Daniel Smith so bad. Maybe I'll just get that blue. That texture is like weathered stone SO BEAUTIFUL!!!!

[@jennw6809]

I love how you did the color wheel in this one. It's so interesting how deep and dull Daniel Smith's PR202 is compared to other brands. I bought PR 202 in Schmincke and it's so much brighter!

[@sherrikent6628]

I love your use of color. Thank you fir the video.

[@barbrajoan2554]

Again you've shown us how well a limited palette works. I do use Daniel Smith paints so will try it . Thanks again, Teoh .

[@teohyc]

+Barbra Joan Welcome 😉

[@arifadu5273]

Fabulous 🤩

[@gorzelak2]

Beautiful.

[@rebatsu]

Ceruleam b. chr. is amazing. I love the effect which it makes with other colors. Must buy one tube :) Thank you Theo for this video.

[@ZovcDrafts]

Hey Teoh! I use Nickel Azo Yellow as my primary yellow and Quin. Magenta as my "magenta." I'm able to mix pretty bright and brilliant oranges and yellows with those colors.

[@melissabridge5687]

I learned alot. This was a very educational video.

[@teohyc]

+melissa Bridge Thanks 😁

[@anaclaudiataquecita953]

Very nice!

[@chantelmcskimming6633]

Really really nice! I like your painting eat better than the photo! ☺️

[@miscellaneous7777]

Lovely 😊

[@greyareaRK1]

Great tutorial, Teoh. I was thinking that gray combination might make nice storm clouds. I love the expressiveness of your style.

[@teohyc]

+John Matthias Those are surprising warm grays for a limited palette of mostly cool colours.

[@skm6777]

You really Bob Ross'd me. At one point, I was thinking, "Boy, he really screwed that up," but in the end, it looks amazing.

[@stadeler1]

Thank youuuuu! 👏👏👏❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@manzanillita]

!!! this is so helpful, thank you so much! i've been wanting to use higher-q watercolors but hesitate at the price - this is a good reminder that there's a lot of space to mix/experiment with fewer colors :)

[@teohyc]

+Mel Beltrán You don't have to buy so many colours. Just buy a few big tubes of good primary colours and they can last you for a very long time.

[@katarinaklepacova2923]

Thank you for this video on mixing colors! I am a beginner, and I find this topic very useful and interesting for me. I would like to ask you, what kind of ink do you use, for it is water resistant. Thank you very much .

[@jadacunningham4178]

This looks absolutely AMAZING, I'm trying to find colors to make a watercolor pallet and I don't know if I should get cobalt blue if I already have cerulean

[@teohyc]

They have visibly different look so I guess you can get both.

[@MalamikArt]

That's so cool I did this same trio test last month on my channel. Awesome to see it catching on :)

[@teohyc]

+Malamik Art Cool 😁

[@debsmith7050]

Very helpful. Thanks. Appreciate your videos :)

[@teohyc]

+Deb Smith Thanks 😁

[@eileengoldenberg270]

There are no mistakes in art!

[@AlexYorim]

Eileen Goldenberg Only Happy Little Accidents.

[@teresaling3568]

Teoh, do you know that DS Van Dyck Brown & Ultramarine made a perfect black (in my opinion)! I was playing with DS dot chart deciding whether to buy Burnt Umber or VAn Dyck Brown and made this delightful discovery! Saves lots of time and paint from mixing the 3 primaries.

[@teresaling3568]

Teoh Yi Chie ahh I see.

[@LisaSandboge]

Cerulean Blue Chromium is absolutely going on my "need-list"! I wonder, what paper are you usually using in your videos, especially while making colorcharts or tests? Cold press it seems, but any brand you can recommend?

[@teohyc]

In this video, it's Fabriano Studio (25% cotton). For testing mixes, you can also try the cheap student-grade (non-cotton) Daler Rowney Aquafine. The paper is really white for that and it handles paint well, just that because it's not cotton, it's less durable.

[@LisaSandboge]

Thank you!

[@dases1982]

Hi Loved this palette! What is a good substitute for cerulean chromium in Sennelier or Mission Gold?

[@teohyc]

Not sure. Try to look for PB36

[@stevesidare2493]

Nice triad.

[@bastet469]

Great vid as usual. I love these! And the timing is perfect because I often shop for art supplies on the weekend and it's helpful to see the latest product reviews & demos before I go. BTW, I have a theory as to why the orange swatches came out so dark. I noticed that the initial quin mag swatch was vastly different from the one used in the color wheel. I'm thinking the color got contaminated resulting in a almost maroon hue. So if that color was what was used to make the orange on the color wheel and/or in the painting, then you would get a very subdued mix. My other thought was that perhaps this version of magenta has a much stronger bias toward violet than other brands. I'll have to check it out when I go to my local art store tomorrow.

[@teohyc]

+bastet469 Different colours will have different bias. It's always best to test them out if possible. But the classic way to get a bright orange is to start with paints near that orange colour, E. G. with a warm red and yellow.

[@bastet469]

Teoh Yi Chie I see. My computer printer uses cyan, magenta & yellow cartridges. So I guess I shouldn't expect much accuracy from anything I print with bright orange in it. Good to know. It'll save me a lot of time and frustration in the future. Not to mention saving paper! Lol! I assume in your field, they have expensive specialty printers that deal with such color correction issues right?

[@AlexYorim]

The colors remind me of printer inks. Which pigments resemble that of the CMY system?

[@teohyc]

Probably Quinacridone Lilac, Phthalo Blue, Lemon Yellow. The CMY vs RGB system is pointless when it comes to painting.

[@CynnekeSer]

could you do a video about how to fill a pallet with only 3 primairy colors? Buying red, blue and yellow and making some variations to fill up a pallet? kinda price friendly and stuff

[@teohyc]

You can check out the colours in the Daniel Smith Essentials set. kzbin.info/www/bejne/poKZhWluhMx4jsU

[@elisabethcameron]

Do you ever “fix” the inking after you finish with color? I’m wondering if it helps, especially when you use gouache, or if it makes it look overworked?

[@teohyc]

+E Cameron If you use ink again on watercolor, it is going to look different. The ink lines typically appear thicker, and you won't have the look of watercolor over ink, but ink over watercolor.

[@elisabethcameron]

Teoh Yi Chie makes sense. Thanks for the reply.

[@zakiasultana5254]

when you mix lemon yellow and quinacridone magenta,the orange did not came out bright so,which paint have problem lemon yellow or quin. magenta

[@teohyc]

To mix bright orange, it's best to use primary colours that are close to it on the colour wheel, for example, a warm red and warm yellow. Lemon Yellow is a cool yellow so it's not able to produce a bright orange.

[@cigimon4]

story time: a couple days ago i was deciding which 3 color to keep out of my palette since there's not enough space and accidentally ended up with what could be an interesting schmincke limited palette: permanent carmine (PV19), cobalt turquoise (PG50) and jaune brilliant dark (3 pigments) _BUT_ the yellow is too opaque. drive.google.com/open?id=1gB4RNtIm4aa-cAL7qEh-9lW1F6c_p8FQ so i was thinking with replacing it with pure or transparent yellow but on one hand i think that'd just end up being too cold a palette, on the other hand, a warm one might just cause mud, any advice?

[@teohyc]

+NotAName Hands Yellow Medium is quite good and versatile.

[@Drumaier]

are cerulean blue chronium and cobalt azure from Schmincke kinda the same right?

[@teohyc]

Schmincke Cobalt Azure PB35 should be Cerulean. Schmincke Cobalt Cerulean should be DS Cerulean Blue Chromium PB36. I haven’t tested the Schmincke so I can’t say much other than looking at the pigment info.

[@kathiefleming2830]

Love learning from u What size brush was it that u said was too big?

[@teohyc]

The Rosemary brush that I used does not have a size label, but it looks like a size 6.

[@kathiefleming2830]

Teoh Yi Chie so shocked it’s that small; it looks like a 12 on camera. I don’t have anything smaller than 7...have to get smaller ones.👋

[@teohweelee]

love the granulation

[@teohyc]

+Debbie Teo One of the nicest. But I don't have many other granulating paints. Lol

[@teohweelee]

Teoh Yi Chie your KZbin channel is even more dangerous than your blog hahaha…I went out to get a tube of Quin Magenta (already got cerulean blue) today after watching this

[@teohyc]

Cerulean Blue Chromium, a very good mixing colour, works well with various cool reds.

[@teohweelee]

yeah i still have leftover of itin the halfpan from jane Bundell's wkshop w Arters last time 😁

[@pendlera2959]

What kind of paper are you using here? I didn't hear you mention it in the video.

[@teohyc]

+Pendlera Fabriano Studio 25

[@divyagvarma]

Sorry, I did not get it. Teoh What was the color combination for shadow?probably I need to watch it again.

[@teohyc]

+Divya Godavarma The shadow is mostly Cerulean and Magenta, with a bit of yellow

[@divyagvarma]

Thank you very much for the prompt response. When you started coloring, I thought “ Teoh has to throw this off”. There is no chance of edition on this painting as it is dark on light unless and until you start again another one. But in the end, it turned out beautifully and some lessons for people to learn. Thanks again!

[@dexteralinea]

I mix vermillion and cobalt blue to have gray tones

[@teohyc]

I use red and blue for grays at times too. Transparent Pyrrol Orange and Phthalo Blue GS.

[@IrisMG]

Is Quinacridone better than Alizarin Crimson?

[@teohyc]

+Iris Gross Not better. Different

[@someblackguywhowantstogetp1437]

Hey Teoh! How are you doing brotha? Anyway, I have a question: If I make an Animated show with my own style and i release it, and then a big company like Disney or DreamWorks see it and the they think I'm coping there style, can they sue me? Thanks. And great review by the way -Dead Channel

[@teohyc]

+Dead channel _ I don't think you can copyright a style. However, the characters, designs for props and stories have to be from your own creation.

[@someblackguywhowantstogetp1437]

Teoh Yi Chie So for example: If my character have a certain design for the eye, can Disney or other companies think I'm copying one of THERE characters eyes? -Dead Channel

[@teohyc]

+Dead channel _ You can use the same style they use to draw their character, but your overall character must not look like their character. Basically when people look at your character, they should be confused with Disney characters. Usually, iconic characters are differentiated by their costumes, and very visual designs, E.g. Hairdo, tattoos, scars or other identifiable body marks.

what kind of gouache do you use? it looks like you've moved on from faber castell! could we see another gouche demo soon?

[@teohyc]

+ASHNG It's a Daler Rowney brand gouache. White is the only colour I have.

[@ChiseledDiamond]

Sometimes it's magenta, but most of the time it's magenter (that little thing aside, you are a awesome artist! (you got me interested in watercolor)

I wouldn't even call that magenta. It looks more violet to my eyes
