This's truly helpful! finally I know how to darken color without using adding many layers or adding black color. Mixing the opposite color gives a great affect!
Thank you so much I have learned an enormous amount about color with your tutorials! I look at colors in a whole new way! You just helped me step it up a notch! I look forward to all your lessons!
I love mixing with white and black - not instead of diluting with water or mixing with a complementary, but in addition to that. Mixing with black isn't great for a natural looking shadow, but it can give a nice color all on its own - and can be useful if you don't actually want a natural, realistic look! Anyway. I always rant a bit when I talk about black and white watercolor paint, I think they have a worse reputation than they deserve 😂 This whole series has been a lot of fun - I like color theory in general, and learning to mix colors is so incredibly useful! And super fun to play with 😁
I've just finished watching this series and wow, it was amazing. Thank you for playing with colours and sharing the journey with us. I really, really enjoyed it. I completely understand the theory, now just need to play myself and name the results as a reference book. Thank you.
Thank you so much for your color mixing series I really enjoyed it. I also agree with the white paint. I feel it makes it look fake rather than a light wash therefore I rarely ever use white paint.
Let me congratulate you on this excellent color mixing series, also well explained. It is a pleasure to see your videos and they have helped me a lot. God bless you.
Great video series, thank you so much, it really helped me cause I have no clue what goes with what and I can use this series to fall back on , so awesome xoxo
Good video Emma. In my opinion mixing a black is the truest way to use it. All my painting professors taught us to never use a black from the tube and to mix our own. Thanks for the great tutorial. If you need a pastel color wouldn’t you use white?
Why do you like mars black. Have always bought ivory black...i need to look up difference...but whats your take. I have been enjoying this series . Sometimes something new but most just reminders....and boy, do i need reminding..thank you
Great vid, I enjoyed it! One thing I wonder tho: I’ve read that super-diluting with water will cause the watercolor binders to fail. It’s not talked about much, and I’ve often seen vids where painters use an incredibly watery wash. Is using white paint better to get super pale colors in terms of paint staying on the paper? (I took a class once with an admittedly-beginner teacher, and as she was telling us how cheap watercolors were fine, she rubbed her hand over an old work - clouds of dusty color came off. Taught her and us that quality binders matter.)
Thank you for this amazing series. I just would lime your thoughts on using a neutral tint to darken some colors. I have been seeing that color pop up in a few videos lately. Thanks
That was a great tutorial Emma. But I was wondering what the difference is between making a darker colour and making a muted colour. Coz in both cases u are mixing contrasting colours

Ur videos are really helpful ✨✨🌺🌺
I really love to watch your videos❤️your videos are so helpful.. can you do some videos on different types of food illustration please🥺❤️
That was a great tutorial Emma. But I was wondering what the difference is between making a darker colour and making a muted colour. Coz in both cases u are mixing contrasting colours
Using more pigment will also make it darker and using more water will make it lighter. You can make a light muted colour. Does that make sense?
@@EmmaLefebvre thanks for replying. I guess it does make sense but I gta try it out first 😊
شكرا

Black ruined my painting, it looked great but then absorbed all the light purple I had blended it with.
