We need more videos like this instead of people showing a palette of 50+ colours. This was a fantastic tutorial of what you can achieve with a limited palette. And wow! Those pictures! What a talent. Thank you🤗🇬🇧
I’m so glad you liked it. I think the limited palette really simplifies decision-making when we’re painting. I feel more creative with less colors. Thank you for your kind comment.
@@JackieHernandezWatercolor …I totally agree. I admit I’ve been influenced by so many art haul videos and now I’ve got so many watercolour paints I’ll never use in a lifetime, so I recently sorted out what I use from what I don’t use, and I now have 12-14 colours that do everything I want. It feels so freeing, like you said, I feel more creative. 🤗
When we’re new to watercolor, we think using the right color or brush will make us good at painting. Far better to just have these 6 and learn to mix. But we just don’t believe it.🤪
Thanks to YT algorithms, your excellent video found its way to me. You have an excellent delivery and explain things well. Watercolorists LOVE videos on color, so a series where you would take each of these colors and show how they can mix others, in depth, would likely do quite well. Your paintings are very fresh looking. The birds are award winning!
Yes, thank you to the algorithm gods 😊 Thank you for the suggestion - I’d love to do a mixing series with my favorite color combos. Such a fun idea!
I wish I had seen this video when I began, now I am stuck with a whole bunch of unnecessary colours. Great video thank you so much.
Oh no. Well, maybe you can make a smaller palette with just your favorites. I started with a big round ceramic palette but never filled all the wells, so I moved down to my small tin palette. No more pressure to fill all the wells.
I’ve done the opposite. I bought tons of professional watercolor paints and now have to much stuff. Good problem to have but now I curate limited palettes so I’m not overwhelmed.
That’s a great idea!
Limited mixing palettes are definitely the way to go! Great color choices (I’m biased, I use a really similar palette lol)
Thank you!
I’ve been looking for a video like this for the longest time
I watched this video at least 5 timex by now 😅. It's really helpful and very informative. I also really appreciate you pointing out, how you've used the specific colours on a real examples, not just a mixing swatch. I'm excited to see more videos like these! xx
Thank you. I’m really glad you found it helpful.
Fab video! Clear and concise and great to see your examples. Thank you!
Your welcome.
Love your colour choices. As a big fan of a limited palette, I wholeheartedly agree with your recommendations. Your watercolours are stunning, and I was delighted by the way you presented your colour swatches and mixes on a painted palette. ❤
And yes, my icon is a painting of a watercolour palette, too. 😅
Thank you. I couldn’t resist painting a palette while talking about my palette 😊
Thank you for this video! I love how you show us in your finished paintings how you use those colors. So many people say “use a limited palette” but no one has every broke it down like this before. I hit subscribe! 😊
Your welcome. I’m really glad the examples were helpful.
I just discovered your channel and I'm so glad I did!! ✅ *Subscribed.* ☺️ Sennelier has a lovely non-granulating Ultramarine Blue and also an Ultramarine Deep. They go on very smoothly and a graduated wash is a cinch.
That’s good to know. When I first started painting I avoided French Ultramarine because of the granulation. But as I got more comfortable with how it behaves, I’ve become obsessed with the color.
Wow! You are an amazing teacher! Your explanations and examples are informative, interesting and approachable. I love all of your nature/Foliage/ landscape paintings, they are stunning!
You are so kind. Thank you!
This is soooo helpful!! A plethora of the most useful insights and tips all packed in a dense but so easy to follow (logical, I mean) video. It is fast paced, almost too fast paced to take in all the info but still not overwhelming and still easy enough to follow. Depending on where anyone is on their creative journey and knowing their colors and more, anyone can watch this video once of five or ten times or even more without it getting boring due to the stunning pieces of artwork you showcase as examples of This is one of those essential videos that you can use time after time as a guideline or reference point. After seeing all those gorgeous pieces and seeing this one video of yours, I immediately hit subscribe. Can’t wait to explore more of your videos, the way you explain things really resonates with me so thank you! ❤
Thank you for such a well thought out comment. I hope you enjoy my other videos this much.
Great palette, I'm going to play with some colors I never considered before. I'm a fan of less is more harmonious.
Yes. Less is definitely more!
OMG, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Finally, I have found someone to break it down so simply to the basics! I'm trying so hard to learn watercolor but it's so confusing, when it doesn't have to be. So happy your channel came across my feed!
Your very welcome. I’m glad this was helpful. If you ever have questions or suggestions for a tutorial, please let me know. I love watercolor and I want to help more people enjoy this hobby.
Wow the work you put in painting with limited palette really paid off. Your paintings are so harmonious and really pleasing to the eye 😍 I was already planning on buying a set of better quality paints and this helped immensely. Thank you!
You’re so kind. Thank you. I’m glad this was helpful.
I fall in love too easily with colours & need to be more disciplined - this is another really helpful tutorial. I’m going to have a play with new gamboge which I never really liked - but you’ve made me think again! Also, it’s great to see so much of your work- which is fabulous. I LOVE those pink parasols - you see a beautiful world, thank you for sharing it!
I don’t use New Gamboge often on it’s own, but I’m addicted to it for mixing. I actually added another half pan of it to my palette, because I’m always contaminating it with blue or green. I’m glad you enjoyed the paintings. I was nervous to share, since some of them are sketches or early paintings. That pool painting took me three attempts to get the colors right. 😊
It’s helpful in itself to know that you don’t always get things right straight off the bat! 😊
LOVE this! Thank you sharing your talent and wisdom with us in a beautifully edited package! Start your own online school and I’ll so be there with my painting supplies and an open wallet! 😍
😊 Thank you for your support. It means the role to me!
Loved this! I find I rarely use the same colors you mentioned. Your “palette painting” is so awesome!
Thank you! What you see in those pans is all I have left of the original 5ml tubes of Hansa Yellow Light and Pyrrol Scarlet. I won’t be refilling those. I’m going to look for a different cool yellow or maybe a yellow-green color and a different warm red or possibly a pre-mixed orange.
Excellent video! Your paintings are beautiful and a great demonstration of your color choices. Lots of great information here. Thank you.
Thank you!
May I just tell you how much I learn from and enjoy your tutorials!!! I have been binge watching them and have learned more from you than any other artist. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and recommendations.....you are awesome!
That is so lovely to hear 😊 Thank you
Oh! My God your works are amazing. How I would like to learn to paint like that. Beautiful and so relaxing.
You’re so kind. Thank you. I hope you’ll subscribe and check out the tutorials I’ve already released.
This is excellent, Jackie. I actually prefer a limited palette for these reasons: it forces you to think about colors and mixing, so you learn more, and, too many colors can be overwhelming or you become dependent on them. Cheap watercolors or paper are a waste of money. I figured that out when I bought the Daniel Smith Essentials set and switched to Arches paper. Huge difference. Watercolor (even good ones) won't move well on cheap paper and that will give disappointing results.
So true!! We owe it to ourselves and our art to use good quality supplies. Sometimes I think student-grade supplies hold beginners back more than anything else. Thanks for watching!
I have a mad love for payne's grey. I use it instead of indigo. It's an amazing color in my opinion and makes a good alternative. I've been wanting to try that neutral shade for a while now.
I have seen lots of great things about Payne’s Grey. It’s on my shortlist to try. I’ll have to pull out my dot cards and compare it with Indigo.
Thank you for this informative video! Your paintings are so pretty.
Your welcome and thank you 😊
Excellent narration! Detailed and concise. Thank you for all your effort in making this excellent video!
Thank you, the means a lot. I spent a lot of time putting this one together.
Im obsessed with your videos! So inspiring 😍 I’m in awe of your paintings too…
You’re so kind. Thank you!
Grateful for algorithm that brought this up on my feed. 🎉
Thank you for a very informative video
Me too! Welcome!
Thank you so much for sharing this informational video…I really needed this to whittle down a basic paint palette.😊
Great idea. I hope this helps you simplify your palette.
I truly wish I had seen this video when I was starting out! I hope many who are new to watercolor see this and heed your advice. Thank you for this, I may need to go back to basics. 🌻
I hope it was helpful. Try choosing a new limited palette similar to this from the colors you already have.
Fantastic example paintings!
Thank you 😊
This is so useful .. I'm happy I found your channel. I was actually looking on building a high quality palette, as a beginner, to not overspend with lower quality products that I would not like to use in the future. This video was so right out of my alley!!! Thank you and I hope your hard work here will eventually pay off and keep you motivated to continue
Yay! It is so worth it to learn with quality supplies. You won’t be a beginner for long 😊
My goodness! Thank you so much for this! Wonderful information and presentation...I needed this in my life to calm the chaos of too many options!
Your welcome 😊
I am brand new to watercolor and so happy to discover your page! This was incredibly helpful and I loved seeing examples of how you used these colors and mixes. You're a great teacher (and your art is beautiful), thank you!
Welcome! I’m glad this video and the examples were helpful.
Your welcome. I’m so sorry it took a while to respond. I just realized RUclips held your comment for review for some reason. I’m glad I found it. I hope you’re having fun with watercolor so far!
The mushrooms look amazing. And I LOVE your information about colours! It is going to help me focus once I move on to artist grade.
This is INCREDIBLY helpful! Thank you!
In December I bought several different MaiMeri blu watercolour tubes. …there were just far too many blues I loved!!! 😬😂. I’ll have to look up the pigment numbers that correspond to the Daniel Smith colours, to see which of my primary red, blue and yellows are warm and cool.
Thank you for this great tutorial!
Your welcome. Painting each of your primaries side by side might help you decide which are warm and cool too. Also, as far as mixing, single pigment paints are the way to go. If you have any with multiple pigments, they may not work as well for mixing.
Stunning paintings! 😍
Thank you! 😊
Jackie, I enjoyed your "feeling uninspired" video. I have to put it on my replay list. It's so easy to do nothing or veg out in front of the TV when feeling uninspired. Have a technique in your hip pocket, that's a great piece of advice. Thanks!!
Your welcome. I’m glad you enjoyed it!
This is so insightful! I just bought my first artist grade watercolors and am glad to see I bought a good set that has all the basic necessary colors. I'll put off the rest because it's been one of my goals and I really want to learn how to mix colors. Subscribed!
That’s great. Welcome!
Gosh your paintings are beautiful. ❤😊❤
Thank you so much 😊
Thank you so much! I wish I had seen your videos before I bought my beginning palette 😢
Hope it’s helpful information when you’re ready to get new colors or replace some you already have.
This was really interesting, your paintings are really beautiful ❤ Anyone just starting out, needs to watch this, and safe money. X
Thank you ❤️
Excellent video. Been painting for years and learned more about color mixing than any video. Thank you, Subscribing!!!
Welcome. So glad you found my channel!
your works are so beautiful. it can be clearly seen how much time and experience was used in each work. I love how you maximized your limited palette.
Thank you! Never thought about it as maximizing a minimal palette 🙂
I have to say this video is SO HELPFUL! It's not the first one like this I've watched, but I think this one might have been the best so far! Thank you!
Your welcome. I’m really happy it was helpful.
This was very well explained, thank you!!
Your welcome.
This is really good
Thank you for explaining this!
Your welcome.
This was so informative! Thank you.
Your welcome. I hope it was helpful.
When I first started experimenting with watercolors, I bought multiple tubes of various colors without realizing I didn’t know what and how I wanted to paint. I still have way too many tubes and pans, but I’ve since moved to curated limited palettes (mostly single pigment colors if possible) that consist of split primaries (with a C and M in my blues and reds) and a few convenience colors.
I LOVE Indigo, I just wish it didn’t lift so much, and Ultramarine’s granulation can sometimes be frustrating.
Amazing! And so helpful!
I’m glad you liked it.
SO USEFUL thank you
Thank you for this inspiring video 😊
You're welcome!
Thank you, great teaching ❤
Hi Jackie - just found your channel, what a wonderful, timely video. I am new to watercolor, and this is just what I needed to quell that first rush of crazy enthusiasm and over-buying. I loved that you integrated your commentary on each color with examples of it in your work. Deeply effective and fun way to learn at so many levels at once. Subscribed, and looking forward to watching your content. ❤🙏
Welcome. I am so glad the examples and explanations were helpful. You’re at such an exciting time in your journey and I’m glad I get to be a part of it.
@@JackieHernandezWatercolor Thank you, Jackie. Yes, it really is exciting, and RUclipsrs like you are making something I've never thought I could do, doable. 🙏
This is very helpful, thank you!!
You’re welcome.

Sooo helpful …thank you!
Your welcome!
This was wonderful to watch.
I’m glad you enjoyed it.
This was great, thank you!
Your welcome.
I enjoyed your video very much, as it’s highly informative about limited colors and mixing with a limited palette! However, recently, even though I’ve been painting with watercolor the past several months ( was painting with dry pastels previously), I’ve learned about problems with light fastness and fugitive colors/pigments. Have you had any problems with any of the Daniel Smith colors? How long do you keep your paintings? What other brands do you use? Love your paintings!
Most of Daniel Smith’s colors (and I think all the ones I have), have excellent lightfastness ratings. This is the only brand I use (except my Turquoise Blue which is Holbein). This truly is the set I started with and have added to selectively. Sorry I can’t speak to other brands.
@@JackieHernandezWatercolor Thank you for your reply, I appreciate it very much!
Great video… new subscriber :)
Welcome!
Hi there. Could you help me with watercolor brush pens... Which would you recommend?
Sorry I don’t use brush pens.
Such a great video, especially with all your beautiful samples. I recently did a video about using the same 15 student grade colours for over a year, but I have very limited understanding of what are good colours to use together, I’ve basically just been making it up as I go. And I chose my colours on a day when the shop had very low stock levels, so my colour choices were pretty restricted. Despite that, I’ve loved using the limited choices and fumbling my way through colour mixing. I will save this video for future reference, when I feel a need to upgrade.
Love that you've been doing this too. I think limitations help our creativity grow.
Wow I just love your style of painting. Vibrant harmonious colors and your artistic talent. Gorgeous! 🥰
I do challenge Neil degrasse Tyson….the Bible tells us everything we need to know about the universe and the best way to live as our Creator intended 😀
That quote sounds so condescending imo. Gods not like that and the universe is not a being but Gods creation 🙂✝️🥂
Thank you 😊
I've never been so upset I can't safely use Daniel Smith- they produce walnut inks on the same equipment and I'm allergic. Boo.
Oh no, I didn’t know that. Hopefully you can find similar pigments from other paint brands, none of these are exclusive to Daniel Smith.
