Very informative video. I'm gonna have to come back to I'd and actually mix the colors myself. My favorite green recipe has to be Green gold (PY 129) and Phtalo green blue shade (PG 7).
What a handy reference! I especially appreciated that you mentioned what actual plants you would use each color for, it made it easy to see how these colors could be useful.
Hi Michelle, i'm new to your channel and i click on your channel soon as i saw the title of your tutorial because Green's all sort of Green's are all my fav. colors, on every pictures i paint or color you will found Green's some where, even if it's a portrait and don't really need green's on my colors palellet i will add some on the eyes,skin or hair but i can't tell you which Green's are my favorite because they all are absolutely Gorgeous! I,m so Glad having fond you here because i love painting with watercolors but i always have hard time to get satisfied or achieved a great result with this medium, I've take some classes when i was 18 years old and i was so impress by the talent of my teacher who was the Best Artist ever to paint Birds any kind of Birds on watercolors and she always told me you will be able to do the same AH! i wasen't believed that but sadly i had to stop taking teaching lessons with Her because of medical Issues i've got so know i have start with coloring for Adult and i've bought lots of Art supplies and only the Best Brands like Faber Castel Caran D'Ache Pablo Derwent and so much more and after 7 years of coloring i'm ready to gave it a try on watercolors again but i'm skared and always say OK. tomorrow i will start and all of my watercolors supplies stay on my Desk on my studio so that's why i'm more then please having click on your title today, i really enjoyed to watch and i have subscribed to all of your social media so maybee you are the key for help me gave it a try on this medium, Thank You so much for this fantastic tutorial on how to mix 10 Amazing Green's colors, i wen't to your channel and i will have so much fun to watch all of your tutorials and fingers cross that will make myself confident enough and really start painting watercolor??? Sorry for my long message to you, i ddin't realized i was so excited & thrilled anyway Big Thank's for doing these Amazing colors combo which are very helpful specially when you just start xx
Thanks so much for your message Sylvie. There is no need to worry about painting, just start. It's important not to have expectations at first of making a perfect painting. Making a lot of mistakes is just part of learning. At the end of each painting, just ask yourself if there is one little part of it you like, and that went well, in this way you progress. You only progress by making mistakes!
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber Thank You so much Michele for this great advice, i will gave it a try and let you know how that worked for me but for know i could tell you just by reading this Awesome tips well i feel more confident to start painting with watercolors, so Thank's a bunch i highly appreciated it xx
Very helpful. I’m told, by a professional painter friend, that he “ detests using greens”. How limiting! This is great and I’ll be making color charts, based on these. Thank you so very much...GREEN IS MY FAVORITE COLOR, so, I must understand mixing greens! How can we paint nature without all her many greens!
I love lemon yellow and Cerulean blue mixes but they can separate on the paper ( flocculation rather than granulation) which can be good or bad depending on the look you are after. You mention cheaper student paints, but I have actually been a longtime fan of Cotman Cerulean blue hue as a mixing Cerulean when I don't want the distraction. I've used this particular colour for over 30 years and must get through about 2 large tubes a year. It is the only student colour I use. I loved your video and there were some new mixes I haven't tried... I must admit I love my greens, there are so many permutations.
Thank you for this video, as beginner I have been struggling mixing green colours. It's been a great help I'll will be doing a colour chart tomorrow :)
Excellent video. I love learning about different pigments used in watercolor and watch a lot of videos about that and color mixing and am glad to have found your channel. I especially liked how you gave examples and instances where each mix would be useful. I am going to watch it again with a pen and paintbrush in hand. Thanks!
Teresa....I enjoyed that aspect too. The examples are so useful. Even though I'm not new to painting these little nuggets of knowledge are what I love hearing from other creatives. So inspiring!!
I really enjoyed this lesson. The chart is such a good idea. I appreciate your tips on which green is good for what kind of item (e.g., trees v grass). My favorite was the tip for distant trees (Naples Yellow and Prussian Blue). I have watched a couple videos that mixed yellow and black to get green; I think those were for oil paints.
Michelle this is awesome thank you so much for sharing the more vedeos I see the more I know 0 have so much to learn still you are a master of your craft
I really enjoy when you do color mixing videos, I learn so much. Am looking forward to more. My favorite mixed green is taking orange and viridian green, it makes a beautiful olive green. Viridian is a beautiful green, but a little intense and unrealistic. I have used prussian blue or a little bit of payne's grey too. Thank you Michele.
Great Michele. Thank you. I’ve been searching for the right dark green and going nuts trying to get the right colours to mix (and saying rude words at the same time) and hey presto Payne’s Grey and lemon yellow.
Thank you for this video! I'm getting kinda obsessed again with mixing greens, so finding your recipes is such a delight. Something I love about this medium is how many subtle hues you can obtain with so little pigments!
Thanks a bunch. I will return again and again to your videos. Just watched your greys and now this. What I am interested in has to do with a deep grey late afternoon cloud bound but even sky dipping down to very small islands around which the sea which is greenish. So the sky is an even and deep grey, the islands a browned color with a little iridescent greenery on the one closest in, and the sea is a greyish green. Trying to figure out what the three colors in my palette should be to accommodate these greys and greens.
Thank you so much Michelle for making this video. After I watch the video, I divided a piece of watercolor paper in 10 squares, labeled what colors were used, and what Green's are used for each subject. The only one I had difficulty with was the pale grey green. It ended up looking more like the dark forest green. I think I just put down too much pigment. I also did not have Indian yellow so in its place I used new gamboge with a hint of cadmium Orange. They came out pretty close I think. I have a tie between my favorite.🙂 Those being fresh spring grass green and fir tree green. I really appreciate your lessons. Thank you.
Thanks, enjoyed your video...Indanthrone Blue and Indian Yellow to mix a variety of lovely greens. Also, Hansa Yellow with Indanthrone Blue (Daniel Smith brand ). Also, Phtalo Blue and Lemon Yellow or Indian Yellow.
Thanks Michele. Speedy but fun. I divided a 5x7 piece of paper into 6 squares x2. I didn't think I had Prussian but a pallet I have had a little half pan. No Indian yellow, so used Azo Quin gold. Came pretty close. Lol. Now I can tack these up by my desk. Bunch of really nice greens!
What a useful video on mixing greens! Made note of the type of green and color combinations. Will definitely help me achieve more variety/dimension in my watercolor painting. Thanks so much.
Thank you! I Love working with green. I have a thick watercolour pad dedicated to mixing my own greens and it is amazing the sheer amount of different shades we can create using different colours and seems almost infinite. Enjoy! 🌿🌱🍃☘️🪴🍀

Let me know in the comments which is your favorite green and if you have any other recipes to share!

I often travel down your older videos. You have so much information it is fantastic!!! Thank you Michele
You are so welcome!
What a handy reference! I especially appreciated that you mentioned what actual plants you would use each color for, it made it easy to see how these colors could be useful.
I appreciated her references as well!!!
Truly appreciate your dedication to teaching watercolour. Your lessons are organized and clear. Thank you and keep well. 🎨🦋
You too, so glad you liked the video 🙂
My favorite is sage green. It mixes well with other colors. Real light sage is so appealing to me.
No one has helped me with mixing colors and understanding my pallette as much as you have!! Much appreciation!!
Happy to help!
wonderful combinations that I have never considered... Naples yellow and Prussian Blue? Fantastic! Thank you for the wonderful ideas😃❤️
My pleasure!
I love spring greens, but all of these are great colors and very useful.
Thank you!

Wonderful tutorial. So much better than buying tubes of greens. Thank you.
Thanks so much Mary, glad it was helpful!
Best green tutorial I’ve seen.
Wow, thanks!
I paint a lot of cactus and the silver grey-green was most helpful because you add a touch of lemon which makes all the difference!
I love cacti and succulents, plan to paint more in the future, yes it's definitely a good mix for them!
Very helpful. I’m told, by a professional painter friend, that he “ detests using greens”. How limiting! This is great and I’ll be making color charts, based on these.

That was the best green mixing tutorial that I have seen. Thank you
Wow, thanks!
Thank you Michele for sharing your knowledge of watercolors with everyone!
Any time Jean!
loved the lemon, cerulean and payne's combo for silvery green, going to use it for carnation foliage
Thank you very much for this very clear and useful video. I am a beginner and this will help me a lot!
You are very welcome Gomez 🙂
My favorite "pine" green is Pthalo Blue and Quinacridone Gold Deep. Prussian Blue and Cadmium Yellow is lovely too, though.
Excellent! I really struggle with greens and this has been so helpful. Thank you.
You are very welcome!
EXTREMELY helpful. I've written down these mixes. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
A valuable presentation for watercolorists. Thank you.

You can mix black and yellow watercolor to get green, even with watercolour as black is majority blue pigment but it will be very dark and muted.
Very helpful video, definitely it’s going to my saved videos for further studies, thanks....
Glad it was helpful!
Love your all tips and trick. I am looking for watercolor tutorial, and your Chanel is good platform for me and all. Thanks love from India.

I have struggled with greens and this was very helpful. I took notes and plan to make a swatch page of these colors. Thanks for a great tutorial.
I'm so glad you found it useful!
This is awesome, thank you so much
No problem Donna!
I like a lot of those colors!
I am especially fond of the first one :-)
Very useful colors. I like landscapes and those greens are made for them. Going to write these down!
Good, very glad it's useful to you!
Thank you for a very practical and well taught video on a color I really needed help with.
Glad it was helpful!
I really enjoy when you do color mixing videos, I learn so much. Am looking forward to more. My favorite mixed green is taking orange and viridian green, it makes a beautiful olive green.

Great video! Coincidentally, I had just mentioned to a fellow painter, I wish I had a better grasp of mixing greens. Thanks, Michele!
Brilliant! Perhaps I am psychic :-)
I like to mix with quinachridone gold too, gives some very intersting greens
It's a great colour!
Very helpful... Thank you
You're welcome!
Thanks for sharing your tips and that helps a lot. ☺️💕👍🏻
Hello 👋🏻 I’m your newest follower.☺️👍🏻

No problem Cheryl!
Really clear , will make a great reference chart, thank you.
You are welcome!
Great Michele. Thank you. I’ve been searching for the right dark green and going nuts trying to get the right colours to mix (and saying rude words at the same time) and hey presto Payne’s Grey and lemon yellow.
Wonderful tips!
Glad you think so!
This was very useful-thank you! I don’t have all of the colors you used but it inspired me to experiment more with what I do have
No problem Kathleen :-)
Great info on greens. Thanks
I mixed Phthalo Blue and Quinacridone Gold from Daniel Smith and it makes some beautiful greens light and darker.
I can imagine, very rich colours!
Thank you Michele! This is exactly what I needed to help me mix the right greens. You are the best!
Thanks so much Sheida!
Thank you Michele! Such helpful information to us all!! Green color information is just what I needed !
So glad!
Lovely colors of green. Thanks
Thank you too!
What a great lesson. Thank you :)
Glad you liked it!
Great way to make some interesting greens...
Yes, thanks
Enjoyed doing both this and the cerulean blues, all slightly different to yours as using Cotman
Glad you liked it Bev!
Thank you so much for this! I struggle with greens.
Happy to help Len!

No problem Eve, yes sounds like just too much pigment and not enough water, paynes grey is very strong!
@@IntheStudiowithMicheleWebber Yes ma'am, I have to remember very dark pigments can take over quickly. 🙂
Thanks Michele. That helps a lot since I love painting trees and didn't really know how to get other colors of green and yellows, oranges.
Betsy
No problem Betsy glad it helped 🙂
Loved that last mixture. I will watch again with my pallet at-hand.
As a beginner I appreciate your lectures.Thank you for posting you videos.
Glad you like them!
Thanks, enjoyed your video...Indanthrone Blue and Indian Yellow to mix a variety of lovely greens. Also, Hansa Yellow with Indanthrone Blue (Daniel Smith brand ). Also, Phtalo Blue and Lemon Yellow or Indian Yellow.
Thanks for watching! So many colours to try and so little time... :-)
Thank you for going through these mixes for us.
You're welcome Sophia 🙂
Love these recipes!

Well done Annette. Can never have too many greens!
great colors, thankyou very much
No problem!
Having just finished this I’ve noticed the improved greens lesson, I’ll be doing that tomorrow as green’s my favourite colour 🙂
Fantastic, thanks for watching, and good luck with the greens!
Thank you. My distant trees look awful. Wrong greens but loved the greens you mixed!
So nice of you
I don't have payne's gray but the mix with it works really well with UM blue + Burnt sienna as well.
It's probably very similar, a lot of paynes grey's have ultra marine in :-)
What a useful video on mixing greens! Made note of the type of green and color combinations. Will definitely help me achieve more variety/dimension in my watercolor painting. Thanks so much.

Thanks I really like your videos
Lemon cerulean and gray looks more like my iris stems also Naples yellow, Prussian blue
Very helpful!
Please, please can you do this format for making greys. That would be great. Just what I needed but didn't realise it til now! 😃🎨💐💝
That's actually a great idea, I was thinking about some more colour mixing videos! Watch this space :-)
I love the Lemon, Cerulean and Payn's Grey.
It's really useful I find :-)
