Watercolor greens are… a rabbit hole. 💚🐇 Because yes, you can mix a green—but you can’t always mix that perfect green. Some are made to granulate like crazy, some glaze beautifully, and some are simply worth having premixed for consistency when you’re painting botanicals or landscapes.

So I made you a free downloadable greens guide to match my new video on the 12 essential greens—so you can stop guessing and start choosing with confidence.

Thankyou so much Anna for this lovely Swatch Guide for greens! 🙏💐💚

Diane

I need this! Most of my mixed greens come out muddy, ugly, and so wrong-looking. Thank you, Anna!

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you, Diane! You’re absolutely right — even the cleanest mix can still lose a bit of that luminosity you get from a single, clear pigment. 💚 I’m so happy to share my greens today. These videos take me a long time to put together, but I’m slowly working through all the main color families — yellows and purples next!

Lita A Preston

Thank you so much. Greens can be difficult for me getting the right shade that I’m looking for. This will help tremendously!

Heather R Hare

Oh yay!!! I was hoping this series would continue in 2026. Thank you! 😊💚

Linda Elizabeth

Thank you! That was alot of colors! Great job!

Cami W

Thanks so much!

Lyn Young

Wow i love this! I think i have all these colors, but beyond basic mixing, and trial and error, i don’t know what really looks good with what. And your paintings are glorious. Time to make swatch cards even though I printed them. Thanks!

Anne Phillips

Thank you Anna for sharing all of this information. Much appreciated for my learning journey.

Denise Young

Thank you so much for these! Learn so much from you and I love your book. Do you have a blank swatch sheet that we can download and try our own swatches and mixes?

Kathy Winter

Thank you for this. You are so generous!

Morgane Leroy

Those colors are fantastic ! Thank you for presenting them and how to use and mix them for vibrant painting.

Sandra Nelson

I actually joined this site, but I can't access anything, unless I upgrade. What is actually available at the lowest payment?

Anna Bucciarelli

Hi Sandra, Welcome to Patreon, and thank you so much for being here! As a Free member, you have access to behind the scenes posts and occasional free give-aways like the swatch chart above. You are welcome to upgrade depending on what you are interested in. As a Tier 1 member, you would have access to all Ad-Free YouTube Videos:, plus all Watercolor Demos — real-time recordings of my process (no narration): https://www.patreon.com/collection/425559?view=expanded If you’d like access to my narrated tutorials (Birds, Botanicals, and other tutorial collections), please upgrade to Tier 2. Tier 3 includes everything above, plus access to my Skillshare classes. Thank you! -Anna

Anna Bucciarelli

That's a great idea Denise! I'll make some for different paper sizes and post here. Thank you!

Anna Bucciarelli

Thank you Heather! Absolutely - these are a bit time consuming to put together with examples from archival footage but we will eventually get through all color groups I promise:)

Sandra Nelson

I paid for the lowest membership, but I can't seem to open any attachments

Rodney

I always struggle with yellows so I’ll be looking forward to hearing/seeing your wisdom with those pigments.

Danielle Valade

Somehow, your downloadable pdf do not download for me... Any suggestions. Im on Mac, and do have Acrobat. Thanks Anna.
