Mix Green Gouache for Realistic Landscapes: Techniques & Tips 🌳

[@lilithblackwater309]

This is the best explanation I’ve seen. I really appreciated the explanation of how to get the warm colors from the cool ones! I am getting my paint right now to start mixing and painting 😊 ❤

Glad it was helpful!

Thank you so much for talking through the mixing process. It made more sense to me than just watching. Love your videos.

[@CecileYadro]

Thank you!

Cecile! You’ve outdone yourselve! All those leaves…from your garden? I’m such a visual learner, but I still need the explanation too. I was such a “WHY?” child and apparently never outgrown that. I want to make my own mini foliage gallery while practicing all this, a few tubes at a time. Lots of fun & practice ahead. Thank so much Cecile 💐

I’m happy to help! and all the leaves are from my garden!

This was very helpful, Cecile. To see how you picked out the reddish green tones from the blue-green ones, and mixed the various colors, was much better than just reading words on a page. I need to do a lot of mixing and testing now, but every bit of the learning experience is fun since it improves the results. I do love those little landscapes you made. They are very charming. :)

I know you made this quite a while ago, but in case you still see comments, I just wanted to say how helpful this was. Thank you!

[@CecileYadro]

So helpful. Thank you

You're so welcome!

This is so helpful Cecile! I have been practicing green leaves forever, they are fascinating. I would love more color mixing videos and I love hearing your thought process. I recently discovered that I love using Payne’s Gray with my yellows to make some greens. Those landscapes are beautiful, the tiny one especially. Do you paint them from photographs?

[@CecileYadro]

The tiny one is from a photo on Pinterest but I can’t share it as it’s not copyright free. I use Payne’s grey as well for mixes, but thought that not everyone would have it so I omitted it.

I waste SO much paint tweaking mixes. How often have I wiped an entire surface down the drain bc I need to just start over again. As a novice watercolourist, I find the blended / no variation pastes of gouache very challenging to get natural colours. Still learning, still,spending.

[@CecileYadro]

You can do it!

I just don't understand why in these sets of gouache and watercolor they give you all these greens you can't even use without fixing and mixing them. I love to mix greens from primaries but why bother include these garish and unreal colors. Does anyone make real earthy colors?

[@CecileYadro]

You’re right! this is why I’m not fond of sets, except for specific needs.
