I agree with you. I think this can be one of the biggest mistakes beginners make -- buying a bunch of colors but NOT knowing how to mix them. Have fun and keep on painting.
This was very helpful Kris, especially being a kind of newbie. I love your videos,listening to you teaching and also your works,very much so. Also I love that you simplify things, and also explain the more simple things. It’s very easy to understand.Thank you😊
Wow! Thank you so much. That is lovely feedback. I'm focused on helping beginners and I try to address the questions and struggles I had when I was just starting. I'm very glad it was helpful.
My first time on your channel Kris, Thank you so much for this informative tutorial on mixing primary colors. I am struggling so much with what 3 colors to purchase to make my own palettes. I now have a better idea, all 4 triads have made gorgeous colors :) Thanks again
Hi Patricia. Welcome to the channel. I'm glad you found the video helpful. Just FYI - I just put out another video on this topic -- creating a split primary palette. It is part of my free online course. You might want to check it out. You can learn more about the course here: studio.krisdebruine.com/getting-started-in-watercolor Thanks again for the feedback and have a great day.
It's endless fun experimenting with different triads! I really liked #3. If I am not careful, I can use up all my watercolor paper making these, haha. I discovered a new one today using Anthraquinoid Scarlet, Cobalt Blue, and New Gamboge (all Daniel Smith). It's a very warm, energetic color palette that I recommend. I also think it's fun to push the colors a little past the envelope like you did in #4, where an orange can work as the "red". Very cool!
This was wonderful to see all these colors done like this. I am just now working on my first set of primary colors so this was very interesting to me. Very informative! Thank you!
Great question. Yes, there are colors that are considered "middle" blues, reds and yellows. Of course, there are differences of opinions. But I would call the following colors middle - Cobalt Blue, Cadmium Yellow Medium and Cadmium Red Medium. I actually have a couple videos on my channel showing all the reds, yellows and blues on my palette. Reds: th-cam.com/video/Zcv9nmn2iow/w-d-xo.html Yellows: th-cam.com/video/SopLHfCsJCs/w-d-xo.html Blues: th-cam.com/video/3tv40hdXf2s/w-d-xo.html
Haha. Yes, you caught that. I'm not a big fan of the Daniel Smith Yellow Ochre. So I use Mijello Mission Gold Yellow Ochre #1, which is PY42 and PY150. Not a pure pigment...but I like it.
Worth noting for newbies like me, the color you & Daniel Smith are calling Green Gold here is not the generally accepted PY129. What you have here is more commonly called Leaf- or May- or Yellow-Green, a phthalo green mix. Watch out for Mijello Mission Gold too. What they call Green Gold is actually Nickel Azo Yellow, PY150.
I loved this! I don’t want a million prepared colors. I want to learn to mix them. A much appreciated lesson for me, a beginner.

I'm glad you enjoyed this experiment. I will have to try the triad you shared above. Sounds beautiful.
Great demonstration of color choices!
I'm glad you liked it! Thanks for the feedback.
I don't know why it never occurred to me to use an earth tone triad, Thanks!
You're welcome. Yes. I love the colors in this triad....and they really work together. I love to explore and try new things.
Very helpful. Got me thinking - that's good! Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
Excellent - thank you 🙏
You're very welcome

That's great to hear. I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for the feedback!
I have often wondered about this, too! Thank you💛 I'm going to make this chart today!
Great! Thanks for watching.
Really very helpful video!
Thank you Eugenia. I'm glad you found it helpful. Thanks for the feedback.
What a fun video to watch! I love all of these combinations. I have the Daniel Smith dot cards so I may want to try this myself! Thank you!
That's a great idea. You're welcome!
Very good info.
Thank you! I appreciate the feedback. Thanks for watching
Great! Thank you. Are there any primaries that are neutral? Half way between warm and cool?

Love the Napthamide Maroon triad. I'm curious... which brand Yellow Ochre were you using? It looks a lot stronger than the Daniel Smith.
Haha. Yes, you caught that. I'm not a big fan of the Daniel Smith Yellow Ochre. So I use Mijello Mission Gold Yellow Ochre #1, which is PY42 and PY150. Not a pure pigment...but I like it.
@@KrisDeBruineStudio Thanks much ... I struggle with DS's yellow ochre (s) ... all their versions are kind of sticky and weak. Thanks for the tip
I have : chrome titanate Yellow+ deep Scarlet+ Cobalt turquoise // and burnt sienna+ Naphthamide Maroon+ indanthrone Blue all Daniël Smith
