Your colour mixing skills are impressive!!! Great idea to use Werner's colours Book for inspiration. Love how versatile it is to mix turquoise for some mixes. I always find gouache colours too brilliant when they come from the tube, as I paint mostly urban and rural landscapes. This palette of nature inspired colours might just be what I need. I got my colours in an air tight palette (no name, on Amazon) for 16 colours and still have some spaces left. Thanks for sharing your process and inspiration - really like the colours you achieved!
I adore your palette color choices! I wish it was available as a set - I’d buy in a heartbeat! I need to look… do you list the W&N colors you used to get there? Thank you!
U made such gorgeous colors!! And, tnis is a great idea to premix the goache colors ahead of time, because then when u want to paint u can skip this step and jist get right into the art! I have to keep remixing colors to finish my painting (cause i run out and need more to complete!) So time consuming 🙄
I love your channel especially your paint and art videos. Illustration is my new passion. I'm new so your videos keep me inspired. I love colour mixing and these kinds of videos keep me inspired. Thanks from Australia. Rachelle xo
Such a great idea mixing your own paints! If only I used gouache... Thant pale blue is gorgeous! I'm enjoying watercolours at the moment, finding new interesting mixes is always inspiring. So I keep adding new mixes to my colour library and sketchbook. :)
So satisfying to watch them blend. The colors you mixed are beautiful! I will keep in mind to use hermetic containers for paints, because mine got all dry in a metalic box. Thanks for sharing, Kris xx
Yes, I really like watching colour mixing videos too, super calming. :) I guess it also depends on brand. These are dried up after a few days, but I can reactivate them. What kind of paint brand are you thinking of? :)
I just started painting this past year and I’ve gone from acrylics to watercolors and I just ordered my first set of gouache. I’m very excited to try it out. Watching you get your own colors ready has made me want to do the same as soon as I get them. I like mixing my colors but honestly a lot of the time like when I’m trying to paint I just want to get most colors straight out of the tube because I am so messy but if I mix before I need them I enjoy it.
This video was so relaxing, loved to see you mixing colours. It makes me want to try mixing too. I have this book and the colours are so beautiful. Love the turquoise you made
Thank you Carolina! Of course if you are interested, give it a go! Super relaxing process and best of all you can mix exactly the colour you would like. :)
What a great idea and I really like the colors that you chose to mix. I have lately been getting more lazy about mixing colors so maybe this will be good for me to try in the future too - now I just have to find those little plastic pans (or find an alternative).
Thank you! :) I guess premixed colours could be good for lazy days, yes :). I actually googled plastic half pans, but I think there should be alternatives as well. It is possible to put paint on the side of mixing palette or in any type of small containers really. :)
I really love your videos! I just discovered your channel, and have been recommending all of your videos to all of my friends. They all have such a calm, relaxing vibe, and the quality of content that you make is incredibly well done! At first I had assumed that you had thousands of subscribers already, because your videos look like they're made by someone with years of youtube experience. I always look forward to the days when you upload, and I really hope that you can start getting more attention and love on your content! I'm also an artist, and have taken so much inspiration from seeing your process and the materials that you use (I especially love your color book! I'm thinking of making one like it for myself). I can't wait to see the content that you come up with in the future!
Thank you so much @Blue GInger for this sweet comment! :) I think this is what I want to achieve - making calm and informative videos about art and illustration.(Also documenting life, as I have quite bad memory) I learned how to edit video from scratch this year. Started posting here on February and fell in love with filming. (Although before was super unsure and afraid to start, as I'm quite introverted in real life) But I think having people like you encourages me and I'm entirely grateful for that! Thats so nice to hear!
@@kriksis It's surprising to hear that you just started editing and filming this year, but that also gives me hope for the quality of my own RUclips content. I've just started trying to make my videos better, and hearing that you also started so recently is super inspiring! I'm glad I can help to encourage you to keep posting content! I really enjoy hearing about your process and seeing what art supplies you have and prefer to use. It's nice, especially seeing you combine art supplies that I wouldn't have even considered mixing! I have only been in classes relating to art for a short while, and they usually just focus on one medium at a time. Your content inspires me to push myself a little, going out of my comfort zone when it comes to art supplies, and I really appreciate it! Well, this comment ended up being really long lol. Super excited to see what new content you come up with!
Thank you so much for sharing your special times in your art studio Kriksis you are so inspirational. I love the way you work. I always watch through to the end 🦊 💕x
Thank you so much Carolina! :) I guess over time I just had more distinct colours I would grab. I think it is good to have palette that focuses more on one side of colour wheel.:) I feel that there is always colours we use less and we may as well exclude them from classic colour palette. For example I almost don't use pinks and violets at all. :)
I love watching your vides and it was such a great idea to mix your own colors, I just purchased the W&N Introductory Set along with some additional classic and convenience colors. Watching you mix these beautiful colors has inspired me to do the same, I can't wait to receive my package!!! I also LOOOOOVE the music you had playing while you mixed, what is the name of the song and Artist? I tried using Soundhound but the result was something far different hahaha. Please and thank you :)
PS 📯: would you mind sharing the colours in the tubes that you used? If you have a blog post somewhere about this, a link would do. I am not familiar with W&N gouache and will need to "translate" these to that colours I use by Schmincke. You got me really inspired with this, I am revisiting the Werner's book for inspiration and now I am looking at my gouache tubes with curiosity and excitement.
Hey Emily! Your comment makes me smile! I feel happy that this made you inspired. :) I also sometimes think we need to enjoy the process and not focusing at the end result.
Hey! :) I think for that yellow I mixed cadmium yellow with little bit of flesh tint and maybe drop of permament white. Thank you so much for watching! Have a good week too!
Hello Michelle! :) Yes, the book is called ''Natures Palette - A colour reference system from natural world.'' by Thames&Hudston. Sure! Give it a try, its so calming and relaxing to make own colours for future. :))
Thank you for sharing your struggle! It can be tricky. I guess I don't think about that aspect that much but rather than the process of colours being mixed, that makes me feel happy. :)
Hello! The book is called ''Natures palette: A colour reference system from the natural world'' by Patric Baty Themes&Hudson and its a gorgeous book! :)

Thank you so much Nikia! Yes, I think this can be great for lazy days, but also mixing colours separately is super relaxing! :)

You can always mix watercolours, but then again it will be different. :) Thank you Tomtly!
Beautiful colors that you accomplish, I really love those mixes.
Thank you so much!
Wonderful!!! great idea.
Thank you! Glad you like it! Also so happy you tried to mix your own colours.
Beautiful! Some people use plastic bottle caps instead of actual half pans. Whatever will fit into your palette tin.
That is actually really smart idea of reusing! I will try that next time! :)
So satisfying to watch them blend. The colors you mixed are beautiful! I will keep in mind to use hermetic containers for paints, because mine got all dry in a metalic box. Thanks for sharing, Kris xx

Finally finished watching the video
Thank you Vera! Yes, I hope so too! :) I think it just takes some time to get over the mystery part.
I like mixing my own colors but I also love convenience colors I’ve made my own paint markers with flow aid and acrylic paint
Thank you for sharing! :)
So satisfying ! I would love to know how you discovered your personal color pallet !
Thank you so much Carolina! :) I guess over time I just had more distinct colours I would grab. I think it is good to have palette that focuses more on one side of colour wheel.:) I feel that there is always colours we use less and we may as well exclude them from classic colour palette.

These colours are beautiful! I have the same book, and this video is so inspiring! Thank you. Have a lovely day :)
thank you Saleha! :)) have a lovely day you too!!

The rose and the thorn
I did this while watching the video, thanks for the idea!
Im so happy you tried it! Hope you find it calming and interesting! :)
@@kriksis very!
Love the idea and the pallete!

Thank you very much Kriksis, I really needed this. 🌈🖌🎨👩🎨
yaay, happy to inspire :)))
I struggle to mix the colors I want so I don’t feel confident enough to make my own color mixes. But this video has inspired me to try.
Hey Emily! Your comment makes me smile! I feel happy that this made you inspired. :) I also sometimes think we need to enjoy the process and not focusing at the end result.
This is so inspiring! thank you for sharing! how can you make the paints fit the half-pans so precisely!
thank you Yaqian. :) I mix them enough to fill half-pan and keep the leftovers(if I have any) to mix next colour. :)
The colors are so beautiful! What did you mix for the yellow? I'm in live with that color, thank you so much for sharing. Have a wonderful week 🙂
Hey! :) I think for that yellow I mixed cadmium yellow with little bit of flesh tint and maybe drop of permament white. Thank you so much for watching! Have a good week too!
Hi Kriksis! I just received my etsy order😊 I only have white gouache. Do you think I can mix that with watercolor to make a gouache palette cheaply?
Woooooooow
:))
@@kriksis I am going to do this today
@@Ansjevis Good luck to you! :)
Hey,Kriksis, I want to ask what is the book name that you used for matching colors? Love this idea, give me new inspiration!
Hello Michelle! :) Yes, the book is called ''Natures Palette - A colour reference system from natural world.'' by Thames&Hudston. Sure! Give it a try, its so calming and relaxing to make own colours for future. :))
I don't like mixing watercolor/gouache, I always mix WAY too much or not enough 🤯
Thank you for sharing your struggle! It can be tricky. I guess I don't think about that aspect that much but rather than the process of colours being mixed, that makes me feel happy. :)
What is the book that you use for reference in this video to check the paint color value
Hello! The book is called ''Natures palette: A colour reference system from the natural world'' by Patric Baty Themes&Hudson and its a gorgeous book! :)
@@kriksis thank you ❤❤❤🧡💛
@@sepyplanner No problem! :)
