Essential Watercolor Yellows & Oranges 🧡 (Ad-Free YouTube Video) (Patreon)

This is the ad-free version of my latest video, where I walk you through 12 of the most popular watercolor yellows and oranges — with clear swatches, real examples of how I use them in botanical, animal, and landscape art, plus plenty of mixing demonstrations. This guide is designed to help you choose the right pigments for your palette and understand their full mixing potential, from glowing greens to beautiful neutrals.

As a bonus, I’ve also prepared a downloadable handout with all the swatches and suggested mixes, so you can keep it nearby as a handy reference while you paint 👉 download the PDF file in this post: https://www.patreon.com/posts/essential-swatch-152494813
