Beautiful work, I love the range of greens, they look so vibrant and fresh. The pink you used for the underlayer sketch really gives a pop of warmth too
Hi, Becky! Thank you! I really enjoyed this video (greens - a favourite topic with me!). It had lots more painting content as you chatted, which made a lot of difference, too. Suggestion: Have you tried adding a *tiny* touch of red to your greens? It gives a wider range of greens. PR101 Burnt sienna, PV19 permanent rose, and Permanent Alizarin Crimson (I don't know its new pigment number, as I stocked up when I know it was going to change! ) will all add significantly to your range. Which blues do you have in your palettes? I have four reds, four blues and four yellows in my boxes, all W&N, and it's all I've needed since I began watercolour, years ago! A change of location and building colours have pushed me to add three more recently, but needed only in very small amounts. I have: PR101 Burnt Sienna , Permanent Alizarin Crimson (I don't know its new pigment number as I stocked up when I knw it was going to change!), PV19, Permanent Rose, and (a rarely used) PR108 Cadmium Red. P175 Winsor Lemon, Cadmium Yellow, Raw sienna (I don't like the opaque Yellow Ocre, and this one has a glorious glow to it), then PBr7 • PR101 • PY42 Burnt Umber. PB35 Cerulean Blue, PB29 French Ultramarine, PB28 Cobalt Blue and PB27 Prussian Blue (all four make lovely green and all four make lovely purples - the Cerulean , a muted violet.) I also added PBr7 Raw Umber (another transparent as a yellow ochre exchange), PBk6 + PR101 Sepia, and PBk11 Mars / Lunar black for its granulating properties for local rock and stone. I can, and do get granulating greys with French Ultra as a granulating base, but PBk11 makes an interesting option. I do also have a 'play' box made up of 29 samples and freebies I've accumulated over the years and only recently finally given a home, and these are great fun for 'just playing around', but only the Sepia and Mars Black have made it to my plein air set. Anyway, hoping something here sparks ideas for you! Maybe on a day that you can't do plein air, a playtime with mixing yours, one over and under the next, so in the end, you've mixed each colour with each one of the others will give you exciting, unexpected and happy, useful surprises. From my 12 original colours, I can make a minimum of 144 others. A minimum as it depends on the quantity of each I add to the other), and I can make far more by doing three-colour mixes. The number is infinite! 💃😄
Ah, I surprisingly haven't added much reds to my greens! Thanks for the tip (and for also using my palette as reference) - I'll definitely have to explore more green mixing - and other colour mixings of my palette, too! Your palette sounds like it's really versatile, with a really great warm and cool. I believe my blues are prussian blue and either turquoise blue or cerulean blue; all from Holbein's gouache line.
Thank you for checking in! It was a wild storm over the weekend and we all were advised by the government to stay home but thankfully not much damage. The roads were cleared from Sunday onwards and a tidying up effort has begun.
Hi Becky! Your greens you painted in the market square are wonderful. No potato here!!! Good the Hong Kong typhoon has passed. I am hosting the upcoming Favorite Fish Art Challenge and hope you will participate. You would be an excellent addition.
@@beckyisj Becky wonderful! I have a video on my RUclips page with all the details for how to participate. Please let me know if you have any questions

Love that we get to see a bit of HK along with your painting journey!
Aw thanks for following along!

Thank you so much! I'm growing to reeeally love the underlying pink. It somehow doesn't take away from the sketch even though it's so vibrant.

Becky, I've been thinking about you a lot in the last couple of days, because of Saola. How are you and your friends? I hope that you're all ok. 🤗

Thankfully it passed with minimal damage! I've never heard of the Favorite Fish Art Challenge, I'll definitely have to check it out.
