This is so helpful and inspiring to play with. I also wander why some people love Viridian. But when I found that it’s mixable, it made me want to buy it too. Thankfully this video inspired me that I can stick with my own palette already since I can still mix it with other colors too. 🌈😊
Thanks for this, Koosje. I ordered the book right after the video and got it yesterday ... pretty fast!. It's a work of art in itself ... lots of really good examples from a very experienced artist. I loved the fact that all the images are hand drawn and painted .. plants, trees, leaves, tubes of paint, mixing diagrams... Thanks very much for your video and for steering me towards this excellent book.
This was a great little tutorial! Making your own mixes is so much fun. In your little tin, did you glue down the pans? I'm getting ready for a trip and want to make myself a traveling kit using tube WC paints I already own and new, empty pans. I'm concerned about the pans shifting around inside the tin and wonder if I should glue them down.
I have tried using a multipurpose glue like UHU or bostick and they are okay as long as you don't throw your kit around too much., and the glue actually peels off quite easily if you want to take the pans out again.
Karen, I use strips of magnets which attach to the bottom of the pans. I like that I can switch them out if I have a “need” for very different colours.
I never understood why Sennelier made a two pigment paint of their Viridian Green (PG18 and PG 7). Most professiional brands only use PG18 (The pigment historically known as Viridian). Mijello's Viridian only uses PG7 (The pigment historically known as Phtalocyanine Green) . It just seems more logical to use only one pigment in a color that's known to be used for mixing only. Is it in your opinion true that the more pigments a paint uses, the quicker it muddies up when you mix with it, Koosje?
Well I don't know much about pigments, but I do know that in many cases (and that's not just for watercolors but life in genereal) very often less is more.
Yeah, viridian green(pg7) toned down with burned umber is my "go to" mossy green. Pg 7 is a horrible color pure (in my humble opinion), but it mixes great, it's very versatile, it tints very strongly (phtalo green is the right name, real viridian is something else, in my set it's called emerald green, all the same pg7) Paired with bright lemon yellow makes nice sap green. I would never use it unmixed, brrr I very much agree with your opinion to keep the palette relatively small.

Thank you for this inspiring video on color mixing! I'm impressed by how closely you matched Santi Salles' greens! Great tips👍
Thank you so much!

I know I don't like viridian or phthalo but they are great for mixing. I did a video of my favourite greens recently so I loved seeing this.

I know, right! It's an awesome book
Wow you have such a beautiful art style
Your videos are really helpful in my art journey. Thank you so much.
I'm so glad!
Thanks for this Koosje! I can’t wait to get out and give this mixing a try.
This was so helpful to me. I have lots of work to do to get to know my palette!!
Glad it was helpful!
This is a great video, Koosje, and something that I need to dedicate some time to - getting to know my colours well and discovering how they interact.
Viridian green is a really nice colour for mixing green hues for painting the sea.
I think so too!
Thank you for this video and can't wait for your book!
Thank you Koosje, I just learned so much about mixing colour! Looking forward to you book :)
Thankyou Koosje….very interesting mixes
Great video. So encouraging and such good information. Thankyou
Glad it was helpful!

That’s a great question, Karen. I used a padded double sided tape to glue the pans down.
I have tried using a multipurpose glue like UHU or bostick and they are okay as long as you don't throw your kit around too much., and the glue actually peels off quite easily if you want to take the pans out again.
@@KoosjeKoene Great idea, and I have some of that already. Thank you for the reply.

Thanks for the ❤! And I see I made a mistake in my tekst, I meant burned sienna where I wrote umber.
