Hi, this is a lovely project and your results are so charming - I'll be trying it with my teen later today😊 If you want to make a darker green you have some options... you can add a bit of either blue, red, purple, brown or black and they will each give you a differnt shade! And to brighten green you could choose adding white or yellow - yellow will make the colour warm and springy, wheras white will be cool and frosty. And any colour you add white to will pull toward pastel, wich is a great palette for snowy landscapes❄️ (Colour theory is so much fun!)
@@ingajohannsdottir1180 oh, my gosh. Thank you for sharing that. I would have never thought of mixing in all those different colors. You must be a very experienced artist. You would think, that with my years of sewing and crafting, I would know more about color theory, but I don’t.
I was so fortunate to have excellent art teachers at school, parents that supported the interest by ensuring we always had some art supplies and basically just curious enaugh to keep experimenting to see 'what happens if I do this?' 😁
@ingajohannsdottir1180 that's wonderful. My brother was always considered "the artistic one", and had several years of art classes. My biggest hobby was sewing. It's interesting that in all my years of that, I was not more exposed to color theory.
I'm sure you have gained a lot of understanding of what colours work well together, how contrasting clours bring each other out, how much different a quilt made with warm earthtones looks from the same pattern sewn in cool pastels - all of that is colour theory too! But it's easy to blend paint and not as easy to stir coloured fabric together😄 (We had a blast painting, btw, so thanks again for this tutorial❤️)
@@ingajohannsdottir1180 It's actually funny when I think about it. I never really learned about color theory, but I've noticed things, that I guess I just thought everyone knew...like black can have blue or brown undertones, grey can be warm, or cool...those kinds of things, I learned from working with fabric. I know the more I do this, the more I will learn, and the more confident I'll become. I'm glad you enjoyed the video, and hope you'll come back for more!
Thanks for going live today! It was so fun to talk to you! ❤ im enjoying watching you paint ☃️🎄
@@SimplyKatieWalks it was a fun day. Then the honey got home from work and I'm afraid, has a stomach virus. Yay. Not.
@chaoswithsusan oh no!
@SimplyKatieWalks I'm keeping my healthy distance, while doing my best to help him be comfortable.
