THIS is how you Mix the Primaries to create Any Color you want and Paint

[@efvp1969]

As a newbie, I appreciate the comments and yes we have to consider the temperature of the colors for better mixing results as well as other “better” combinations, however the only way to really learn is by trial and error. Let’s try being less perfectionists and have more fun. Dear sir, thank you for your videos, I have learned a lot watching you have fun with your paints🥰

[@oaktharas]

No。。。。there's a book called Itten's color theory, and maybe 1000 more on that subject. You learn by Learning how color works from a book, a teacher, a class, or just look at a color wheel

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Am glad to hear that. Thanks🥰

[@pootlingalong8928]

Thank you for your instructive videos Niaz, your art is excellent and very helpful to those of us learning!

[@emmahaslam1905]

The primary Artgraf set now comes with a magenta rather than a red and you can mix a red of the same hue. This made a better range of mixable purples possible. There is also a phthalo green available and a black and white and graphite set and another set with a range of earth colours. They seem to be very well liked by all of the people I have seen try them. I've got black and white ones.

[@Shells1968]

I love what you can do with such a limited palette. The actual red, blue and yellow you chose gave a lovely muted look. Love it.

Good job Man, that's amazing, I love that laid-back vibe, it is very relaxing. Like you unpretentious without relying on fancy tools, I enjoy and focus on your painting skills.Thank you.

[@squidkid2]

As a lifetime watercolor painter myself I would suggest keeping your base colors clean. This is especially true of yellow pigments. If you go to the yellow pigment with a dark color on your brush and leave that color sitting on top of the yellow block the darker color can sink into the yellow pigment block and stain the yellow. The blocks may appear to be solid but they are actually quite porous and the dark color can be absorbed into the yellow pigment below and you'll never be able to get a pure yellow out of the block again. I would use a larger white enamel mixing tray or even an old white dinner plate to mix on. In the heat of painting its tempting to go directly to the paint without rinsing your brush between color changes or mixing but you really should get in the habit of only going to your blocks with a clean rinsed brush. But that's just IMHO.

Hey niaz, you make even the simplest of sketches come to life with your tonal work, you control watercolors amazingly buddy. When you first added the darker water at the foreground I thought oh that’s gonna be too dark but you blended it in and then when it drys lighter and the reflections go on and all the little highlights and detail it just pops.. looks amazing. Iv learned a lot from this video thank you so much. 😊 Johnny b art 👍

[@aprildegele1510]

I LOVE your aesthetic! I'm not an urban painter, but I see the potential for taking your urban technique into other genres. I absolutely love the loose style, monochrome, with pops of bright color. I think that's my niche as well. Your paintings are so dynamic! I teach painting. NOT watercolor! So hard. When I teach, unless there's a reason to deviate (and that happens a lot because most of my students have never painted anything before), I encourage the primary colors with also white and black ... but warn about black. Encourage avoiding having to use it. Matter of fact, I don't dispense it until someone asks for it and then we discuss why it's needed. Sometimes it's completely appropriate. Most times, there's a better option. I also love that you finger paint. Or rather, finger adjust. That speaks to the child in all of us.

How do you clean off the paint blocks when you're done?

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Just clean it with the brush and clean water 💦 and soak it with the brush itself

[@ankeshmbbs]

which brand color palette is this? the colors look too good

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

These are not watercolor, but water soluble graphite blocks known as Art Graf

[@emmahaslam1905]

Artgraf are made by a family run company in Portugal called Viarco. The coloured blocks do not contain graphite but there is an all graphite block in another 3 piece set alongside black and white. There doesn't seem to be any info on a binder like e.g. gum Arabic which watercolours normally contain. Maybe the tailor chalk- like shapes are bound predominantly by pressure?... Viarco also make a watercolour graphite in a small round tin...

[@stacijo7989]

White and black produce tints and shades of other colors. Primary and secondary, tertiary...hues, tones, tints and shades. My question... but how do you get neons??!🎉

As I discovered in school; as soon as you mix colours it turns dark/muddy/grey. HOW do you mix for example light pink or turqouise from those colors? Does not seem possible to me.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Well in that case we need a little help from Mr. White! Red+White=Pink & Blue+Green(blue+yellow)=Turquoise and if you add a bit of white to that mixture you get bright turquoise. Try it

Cyan, magenta and yellow are better primaries for mixing.

[@nicojar]

I see what you mean... except that in watercolour they won't be named that way :) => Lemon yellow / red cadmium (hue or not) / intense blue (phtalo blue) are the closest, very common colours we put in beginner sets. If you want to add a bit more practicality to this, then the colours he chose in this video (ultramarine / cadmium yellow) and some kind of cadmium scarlet will be nice complements to your basic palette :)

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

True that. You have endless possibilities with different shades of red yellow blue both cool & warm. I just trying to teach the beginners how to mix simple colors like orange, green, purple and grays😇

[@dirtyblueshop]

Thank you and very well said. Its for beginners so let it be for them😇

[@101curlywurly]

Agreed. The trouble with art sites is that you always get the ones who just think they know everything. Its the same on FB, sites that are supposed to be for beginners are basically just full of advanced artists just showing off what they can do and making all the beginners feel useless. I hate it.

[@parisbreakfast]

Interesting…This is a value study not a color painting?!

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Its about the primaries and how to mix them to create secondaries

[@susanb4816]

Magenta, cyan and true yellow are the primaries. You cannot pick just any blue, any red, or any yellow

[@temmert45]

yes but who says these are the true "primaries"? Maybe YOU could post a video explaining this on your KZbin.

[@gingeredawn6764]

that's a very yellow 'red'...fuchsia/magenta makes better mixes. can't make pink or a decent purple with 'red'...but you can make red with fuchsia/magenta and yellow.

[@nicojar]

Cadmium red looks yellow/orange on camera, but IRL it's the most "red" red that you'd fine, anything else would tend towards orange or pink/purple. You can totally make a decent pink with cadmium red, but I agree with you that a fuchsia or a magenta (or cadmium scarlet) are amazing complements to a good beginner's palette :) If he only had a magenta, he'd have a hard time making the kind of orange he usually uses for his urban landscapes. That's also why ( = more common in real life) you'll find more commonly a cadmium red in beginner sets than a magenta (which would come later, bought separately). You can definitely make pretty much any nuance of pink/violet/purple with cadmium red + intese blue in watercolour (because you can dilute your blue and your red in a loooot of water). You'd have a very hard time making a proper orange with a magenta, because orange is never "light" or "dark" orange, orange is orange: intense red, intense yellow, almost in equal parts. "Orange", in terminology and in visual/pigment/light nuance, is quite an absolute. No way to make this with a magenta, let alone with a fuchsia.

[@danaparsonsliquidcosmosart2669]

You cannot physically make any colour you want from those 3 colours.. they are warms.. you'd need cools to get a true purple a brighter green etc.. and as someone else said if you really wanted to mix any colour you want.. then it's cyan magenta and yellow.. So the title is very misleading here especially for beginners that might be watching you and then become very frustrated

[@nicojar]

It's not "cyan magenta yellow" in watercolour, no. Magenta is going to tend towards pinkish/purple because the hue is lightly including blue (not blue pigment, but a bit of blue light is reflected). Yellow => you'll need a lemon yellow rather than a cadmium yellow. Blue isn't going to be named "cyan" but "intense blue" or "phtalo blue" in art shops. The "cyan / magenta / yellow / black" dogma comes from modern printing, and for red hues, for instance, magenta was not always the main pigment. Crimson, scarlet, for a long time, were the dogma (and in paint, allow way more nuances than magenta, with which you'd lack something warmer to make a red that's less pink) - and fuchsia was expected to be the reference in printing, it just happened in a very short time that magenta was more practical to produce. The cyan/magenta/yellow dogma mainly comes from the ease to produce them in a synthetic/cheap manner. He's using a cadmium red here, which is perfect, but indeed his yellow is closer to a cadmium yellow as far as I can assess on this video, so he might lack a little bit on the bright yellow end of the spectrum. His blue is a mate blue, so difficult to create an intense blue with this, but intense blue is very seldom in real life, so an ultramarine / ultramarine deep is quite an excellent choice to represent reality. Don't be a hater, don't be a nitpicker if you're not a specialist. The title is not misleading, you just have a very theoretical, misinformed and narrow perception of a practical issue. ;) Beginners are going to be absolutely alright with his video, you can have a rest.

[@niazhannanwatercolors]

Thanks for the rescue!!! This video is for beginners and it should be easy for them to understand and not get confused about warn or cold reds blues yellows. I thought people will use a bit of humour but I was wrong. But then there are people like @nicojar who has a good sense art material and always come to save me from hatred🥰

[@temmert45]

Wow! I would really appreciate showing us your experience with watercolor mixing. Please Please!!!

[@dsmith9572]

There isn't any 3 or 4 or 5 color combination which can mix to "any" color. More like 20 or 30 spread evenly around the color wheel to get "pretty close" to "any color". Good luck finding pigments for that. Now, if you're ok with low chroma "colors" a dozen or so will do.
