This video has been quite helpful to me. Though not color blind I've learned that I do see colors differently than most. Can you tell me where I can purchase the palate that you're mixing your paint on? It is not in your Amazon storefront.
We agree completely, color theory does not have to be complicated or intimidating! Learning the basic principle of using complementary pairs to fine tune intensity is one of the most important skills an artist can learn. Great explanation, and excellent practical demonstration!
My first professional watercolors were three tubes from Winsor & Newton: Winsor Yellow, Permanent Rose, and Winsor Blue (red shade). Painting with a triad palette taught me more than any other single exercise. Even though I now have many colors at my disposal, I still enjoy occasionally going back to my first three.
When I took an art class, the instructor only had us use red, yellow, blue, and black. I.learned a great deal about color back then. Can't wait to start painting once again. Your explanation is so helpful.
I would be fascinated to see how you'd make a magenta with these three colours, or any blue and red really. You can make a red by adding yellow to magenta, though.
Thanks for sharing your color mixing process Jenna. It was nice to see how the color tones change ever so slightly when you add its compliment to it. Amazing job on your flower as well! I like the contrast and how simple the shape of the flower is throughout your painting.
This was so good. I feel like I will never learn all the colors! But I know you are right, as soon as I get a good grip on the fundamentals of color theory, I'll be rockin and rollin! Thank you, Jenna, for ALL you do. You are awesome!💗
I've loved Princeton Heritage synthetic brushes for a long time now but I recently found another synthetic brush I love even more and that's the short handle Mimik Synthetic Sable brushes by Creative Mark. They were on sale at jerry's artarama and I think they're awesome! A bit more stiff than the heritage, holds water better and I like how the bristles are a teensy bit shorter so they allow for more control. Just thought I'd mention!
Brilliant demonstration! I recently watched a similar video in which the artist chose a "pink" (or rose) rather than a bright red. I recall that adding a touch of yellow produced a nice looking red. I think the argument was that it’s difficult to mix a pink colour from the bright red. I wonder what your thoughts are about that? Love your videos. I’m working through your book, but there’s no way I’ll do it in 30 days 🤪
Actually when I watch you now and you say that color I know you mean the other red most of the time… lol! Pyrrole is so much more fun to say! 😊 And I want to THANK YOU! I’m a beginner beginner but wow, tonight things really clicked and I’ve been using your books, yt videos and soon patreon… you are not only an amazing artist but an amazing teacher! ❤ I look forward to spending my nights painting with Jenna and John!
WOW! Beautiful flower. Thank you for your wealth of knowledge and most of all for sharing it with us. You've helped me tremendously in my journey in watercolor and it is much appreciated.
Thanks for sending this to me , I learned much from your efforts in making this and enjoyed watching immensely! Blessings and love from England. Thank you!
Great video! I could literally spend all day just mixing colors LOL - I have to discipline myself to actually paint something. :-) Color mixing somehow comes natural to me - I don't know that I've ever been surprised at a result, unless one of the paints is a "weaker pigment." I'm interested in why you went with a true red this time? In an older video IIRC you used Opera Pink, which made sense to me because it was like CMYK that printers use. In expert hands (like yours), the results are always gorgeous!
Thank you Jenna, happen to be in rock land, Maine, an artsy town and found white gouache…….in a cool art store. Also think we were sitting next to Robert Redford in an outside eatery, but I was cool
I was waiting for the video and it was good one… but fast forward the rose painting like some of the main rose bud painting process was cut how to pul out these shapes and petals etc like your detailed flower tutorials plz do one like that.. color mixing was super informative n those beautiful shades ❤️
Who knew all the colors to be had with 3 primary colors! Thank you always for your time and knowledge! Learning is always a part if painting! Thanks Karen Dirmish
I love the MaimeriBlu paints. They are very pigmentive and last longer also creamy. I was surprised when I bought them snd started painting with them. I do some of your exercises and I was noticing the difference between the Daniel Smith and Miameriblu. Don't get me wrong I love Daniel Smith paints and I'll pick them over any paints because of the granulation you get. I just started using 3 colors of Maimeriblu plus Dragon's blood. Thank you 😊. Hope you had a great Thanksgiving ❤. JK FLORIDA USA 🇺🇸
i didn't think i would like such a neutral flower but it is sooo lovely! are the maimerry paints hard to rewet? it looks like you have to rub your brush a awhole lot more than i do for my winsor newtons? i still might try a few, maybe a split primary set or something.
@@zaarteestdanaportiermorvan2453 they have some pretty "rare" pigments too, although do be mindful of the lightfastness if that's important to you as some of them are fugitive. I also found a few of my tubes smelled a little off when pouring but it dissipates once the paint has dried.
Hi, I’ve watched trees, flowers and now this color video. Populates are growing in Idaho. They may be Native to Idaho. Another of my flowers to ask you to paint would be roadedenron. Also what is the brand name of these paints. I think u said Merry something.
@@JennaRaineyChannel I'm sorry I messed up so bad. I later found your description of the paints. I noticed that spell check took over on the POPlar trees. They grow in Idaho. Fun fact...... the government would give people money if they planted populars here. They are a great wind shield. They grow up tall very fast. I really like listening to you talk about art. Your straight up about emotional support! Your the artpsyc!
I would never choose only 3 colors. I love color. Especially convenience colors. I like to challenge myself to find colors that look nice together. Mixing Is fun but I prefer lots of palettes with gorgeous colors ready to use.
Sometime it is a fun challenge to make a painting of just a few colors. It really expands your creative spirit and makes you explore various color combinations and wash levels. I do this exercise with my grand daughter and it always amazes me what she comes up with.
I love this video so informative! You are an inspiration! I am thinking of a new pallet, your pallet seems very full, is it big enough for you? Thanks a bunch. Sam
Hi! I post a video every week. 🤗 Make sure to hit that notification bell! It's also, just so you know, our current post schedule, always Friday at 8:00AM Pacific Time. 💕
The Maimeri Blu paints are fantastic, any issues you're seeing in the video are wholly user error. It's such a shame for the brand as they're being done an enormous disservice.
wow! you really charmed and clicked with Princeton guys...now they are creating a filbert brush because YOU decided you love filbert brushes...but you had turned everyone else to, not just buying freaken' tons of W&N paints but also ROUND brushes which you swore by....so is this really a way to TEACH us to paint or teach us to spend money?
Hi Sam. I'm doing exactly what I feel led to do as a professional watercolor artist. Being a professional means that I both educate and I pay my bills by this career path that I am very blessed to have. In this video, I am simply showing what three paints I'd choose as my top three paints and then painting flowers with them. Yes, I have affiliation with Princeton, I am transparent with that affiliation, I love working with them, and have always loved using Princeton brushes (even before I had any sort of affiliation with them). That's all. I hope you have a lovely day.
Thanks for sharing this informative video mixing the three primaries to produce an endless number of colors. I shared the video with my art students. Very simple process to use the complimentary colors to neutralize the color. Thank u.

Love the colors in this rose watercolor🥀🥀🌹👏👏👍🏼👍🏼🤗
That ceramic palette is 🔥! :)
On Amazon?
It looks like a Sylvan Clayworks palette. You can go to the website and purchase
Happy to find you, Jenna! Just like a meditation 🙏 thank you!❤️
Thanks for the video. Gonna try it out with my kids

Very helpful. Thank you.

Very useful information, thank you.
Really pretty
I'm going to challenge myself to use just 3 primary colors! Thanks!
Have fun! 💕
Excellent
Great video. New to watercolour. I cannot find the red you are using is there another you would recommend.
Thank you so much.
Precise!!!

so rich & velvety! love this video! you have such a wonderful talent thank you for sharing. why did you change from windsor newton?
she explains it in another vid, basically she's trying to go as natural & chemical free as possible.
@@Goldi-Luc which is weird because Winsor and Newton are well known for making cadmium free paints.
This brands seems to have less chemicals and all single pigments. I am going to try it to see if it does not trigger my asthma.

No purple shown here and I’m wondering how your choice of red and blue will do
