    Excellent, Michelle! Since I have problems with interpretation of a subject, choosing the paints for a particular subject is very helpful. I mark my colors by mfr. name AND pigment code, such as PB15, etc. One could think they have several "different" blues, but they are all PB15, with minimal difference . Names can be misleading, as the mfrs. have proprietary formulas. Also, "do and don'ts" of mixing particular colors is always helpful. Showing the comparison between two different palettes for the same subject (i.e. two paintings with different colors) would be great. Really, anything you could offer would be ab fab, with your teaching style.

    We must be related 😁, yes I love all the colors, I want all the colors, & I have quite a few palettes of different brands of colors but not that many yet. Wow that’s great how you made the blue gray for the ghost leaves in the flower painting. I really need to try doing/sticking with a limited palette sometimes. I really am learning how much better my paintings look if I don’t try to put everything in to it. I would definitely like to see more videos of this type. Yes I would like to see comparisons between the Phalo Blues & Greens across the brands. Also how would/could you get a vast range of colors from one pigment of color.? Thanks for sharing this with us.

    Your style of painting is quite new to me but I really like it. What I found so interesting in this video was your explanations of how you choose your colours for each type of painting. Those tomatoes look delicious and that dahlia is stunning. I have a bit of a sense of what will happen when two colours are mixed but nothing like as much as you do. I would never have thought of putting the viridian in with the Davy’s grey to get the colour for your ghost leaves. I learn so much from each of your videos.

    I'm always interested in color mixing. I find it very interesting to see where a mix can go. I would love seeing more mixing videos and maybe an idea where to use such mixes. One of the mixes that l enjoy is magenta and teal or turquoise or green and purple. I know these are pretty basic but I would like to see what you do. As always I enjoy the education you share so generously.

    Personally, I would like to have you choose one color and then mix it with other colors so we can see the swatches, rather like a swatch book to be used as a reference. Since you have so many colors from different manufacturers this would be an endless source of exploration that you can always default to for videos amid your others.

    • @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber
      @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber  2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      You need cooler primaries, a lemon, a cool pink like permanent rose and a phthalo or cerulean blue will get you a better grey, your primaries are on the warm side, which will lean more towards warm greys and browns.

  • @arnekgriswold9059
    @arnekgriswold9059 2 ปีที่แล้ว

    I had stumbled onto a very similar way of choosing my colors when I work - by painting instead of having a set palette I apply to every painting project. That latter way seems a bit blind, as if everything in the world has to be filtered through the same colors.
    Actually, another factor besides the staining color - which I learned from your video, thanks! - that matters to me is the lightfastness. That is why I wouldn't personally use Opera Pink. I really want to hang my art and have it last a long time.

    • @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber
      @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber  2 ปีที่แล้ว

    Excellent instruction in this video. I loved the examples you used as it made everything so much clearer. I have trouble with all color in general so I love using a limited palette and mixing my own interpretation of what inspired me. Very interesting to hear how you picked a limited palette for a single painting. I’ve been doing that for a while naturally, I think. I find your tutorials offer me the basics that I was missing. My paintings have improved greatly over all after watching many of your videos. In response to your question about topics for upcoming tutorials, I’m very interested in special colors that you buy, why you choose that color, and the colors you can mix from it. An example might be green gold. I watched your video on needing a cool pink in a pallet. (I ordered that pink immediately lol). I am quite interested in colors that make YOUhit the “buy now” button on a website…. An extra color that you can’t live without because you already know what you can do with it. Thank you for posting. 🙏💙🌵

  • @amypanddirtytoo1926

    I LOVE the Perylene colors! I decide long ago that I do NOT care about being a "real" artist that only uses the same small handful of colors for every painting ever because I am just SO cool and just TOO GOOD to NOT mix every color I could ever want. I am 43 now and I know I can mix any color I want, I just don't have the time for that anymore! It's not fun to spend all that time mixing a palette of colors for every single painting!. I still use a limited palette and mix from those, but I start with any colors I feel like! Usually no more than 5 or 6, but my "primaries" will end up being weird versions of them, like using DS Green Gold for my yellow, Maya Blue for my blue and Dragon's Blood for my red. Then I'll add in a few special colors..........It's so much more fun to do it that way. For me. It's different every time, which is so much fun! All the amazing color mixes I have made using my unusual colors! And I have swatch books that I keep track of them in so I can always reference when I want! SO much more varied than the same six colors til the end of time!

    • @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber
      @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      Swatch books are a great idea! Primaries simply cannot replicate many single pigments, it's a commonly held misconception so you are definitely a real artist!

    oh Michele this video could not have come at a better time, as i'm working out limited palettes for different pieces i'm working on. which are the staining colours and how do they lend themselves to value your art piece. what are better colour choices that you could choose in a limited palette that will mix well with others. colours that are better choices for a muted watercolour piece and how best to achieve them. i really love the perylene green you showed in this video, are there more? i love gothic watercolour pieces and abstract pieces and would buy up the whole gothic deep perylene or other similar in a heart beat. right now i''m working on florals for christmas for family and don't want to freak them out with my beloved colour choices so it's a completely 180 and doing my head in. i'd get a whole lot of value from colour recipes with the gothic deep tones, as well as muted colours and anything else along these line you could share.

    • @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber
      @IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber  2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You recognize them either by swatching, they look strong and transparent like ink, or by the names, Phthalo blue and greens, prussian, paynes grey and permanent blue violet are some common ones. They enable you to get strong darks. If you were just to use weak colors in a limited palette it would be hard to get a good range of tones.
