This lesson is a clear and practical guide to color mixing and understanding the color wheel.

Not every yellow, blue, and red will give you clean and beautiful colors. To get bright and pure mixes, you need the right base colors and a clear understanding of how color mixing works.

In this lesson, I use cool yellow, red, and blue to create fresh, vibrant colors. You will see how these three colors can build a full palette.

You will learn that almost every color has both a warm and a cool variation, something that is often missing in printed color wheels. This knowledge helps you mix more accurately and avoid muddy results.

During the lesson, we mix:

– orange, green, and violet from primary colors

– a wide range of natural grey tones without using black

– deep, rich shades like burgundy, dark green and indigo

I also explain why I do not use ready-made black and how mixing your own dark tones gives a more lively and harmonious result.

By the end of this lesson, you will understand how to work with just three base colors and still create a wide range of hues.

This is a fundamental lesson that will completely change the way you work with color✨

Thank you for this video. It was a great review. Yes, please to a video on warm primary colors and mixing them. I have a question about tubes of watercolor that use more than one pigment. Should we avoid them? For example, I have a tube of WN Cotman of sap green. It lists the pigments of PY139, PG36, and PR101. Sometimes when I mix other colors with it the hues turn muddy. I think it's because of the red in it. What do you think? What do you suggest we use for sap green? Thanks!
