This is the best watercolor landscape set of lessons I have seen. I am so interested and have watched “everybody.” Why do you not have 200,000 subscribers? You are the best not only on You Tube but the college courses I have taken.
What an interesting and informative tutorial. I really appreciate how much you share. You explain things so well and use great analogies. To me you come across as very humble and unassuming and that gives me confidence to experiment with my paints. I’m so pleased I have come across your videos.
I couldn’t have said it better! It’s so very helpful and I too am impressed and grateful about his generosity and clarity. Besides that I really like his paintings, I so appreciate that I’m not being asked to buy anything. He doesn’t even ask to like or subscribe, the one time he mentioned it, it made sense and it was done with class and unpretentious. Thank you so much for sharing and teaching!
What a wonderful way of doing things. Being organized and using a minimal amount of colors does make this so much easier. I love the way you do your color charts. Thank you.
Brilliant...just brilliant! I have never seen this way of explaining colors anywhere else. You've got a lifetime admirer, Oliver. Keep up the good work, mate. And thank you for these videos.
As a beginner I am going to make those color charts right now. Probably don't have all those colors of paint but I can start with what I have. Thank you very much Oliver!
This is about the most informative video on Color I've seen in 12 years....Love the colorway that you use! Thank you...oh, and going right into your sketch after the lesson is very helpful...thank you...Leta, from Texas🤠
I wish I had watched your tutorial before I bought my watercolors, then I could have saved quite a lot of money. Still, better late than never. Thank you very very much for your great lessons!
Hi Oliver. Your approach to color charts is by far the most useful I have ever seen! I have made several using all my colors in one chart. Breaking it down for the primaries is genius! Thank you. I would love to see a video on color mixing for consistency to achieve the correct value.
I'm a new subscriber and I'm completely hooked on your tutorials. I'm drinking them up like a big thirsty brush! Thank you from Vermont- a tiny little state in New England, in North Eastern United States.
Learnt so much from this after feeling overwhelmed with 'random' colour combinations made under pressure whilst the paper is quickly drying - less is definitely more . I was getting tired of seeing multiple colour wheels but I understood this completely and the painting just brought it all to life - thanks Oliver
I love the concept of pigments as 'actors' in a play! I mostly do botanical illustration. Daniel Smith's Perinone Orange is one of those 'cameo' colors. So is Holbein's true Manganese Blue (though maybe in my work it's more of a 'supporting actor' since I use it fairly regularly. And Grumbacher Thalo Yellow Green, another great pigment for brand-new leaves, or light shining through them.
I love how you teach. Your knowledge of colour and watercolour is phenomenal. You throw in lots of little tips… use a rigger, less water in the brush, more “control”. I would love to see you painting here in Australia with our different light and colours 💖 wonder if you would make many changes to your palette. Slowing working my way through all your videos 😍
Hi Olly! New subscriber here and learning watercolour painting. I am delighted to see another left-handed watercolour artist. It makes it so much easier for me to learn. Love your videos!
Oliver, this is so very helpful, and it makes sense! All colors work together! I have been struggling with greens forever, but now I understand how to achieve harmony and flow. Thank you.
Hi Oliver. I like your color chart SO much better than the wheels we all learned in art class. I appreciate your taking time to explain the warm and cools as well, and I really did learn something here!
Your color charts are so useful - thank you for another must see tutorial . You are always imparting years of experience so candidly and simply - it makes one want to explore further.
Thank you very much for this video. I wish I had discovered this before I ordered all those tubes of paint! oh well. I enjoyed this very much. You have not only the heart of an artist, but also the heart of a teacher.
Wow wow wow - so much brilliant information - I may well have to have a large cup of tea and a lie down to absorb all those valuable tips on colour mixing. Actually, mixing all my colours together in yellows, blues, reds, all with each other was the first thing I did two years ago, and you're right - the colour range is enormous. And you get some nice surprises with the Cobalt and Cerulean blues. And huge thanks for the demo at the end, just seeing the first bit to see how you get hard and soft edges on a cloud would have been enough for me, but the whole landscape was packed with information, brush strokes and colours ... simply wonderful. You can tell, I'm turning into a huge fan (hope that didn't sound too Kathy Bates!) Thank you Olly, you're vids are amazing and generous! 👍😀
I like the painting behind where you sit. Gives a feeling of great distance. Another subject I’m interested in with watercolour. I like the way you teach to the point without a load of chatter. Thank you. I’ve learnt a lot today.
Thanks for a great tutorial. I find that with every artist I follow I add a few more suggested colors and now am quite bewildered. Back to basics! I love your soft landscape colors and will give these charts a go. I look forward to your instruction.
Thank you Oliver. I am learning with the help of these and other tutorials. I just discovered you this week and am now subscribed. I look forward to watching more. You have a great style and sensibility for the landscape that really shows through.
Mr. Pyle thank you for sharing your knowledge. Your tutorials on the basics were very helpful in helping me overcome beginner mistakes that almost had me throwing in the towel. Instead I “gave it a go” and have been making paintings I’ll actually sign.
I’ve been watching artists on RUclips for a few years and only just discovered your tutorials. Wish I’d found you sooner! The best tutorials I’ve seen, simply and well explained. Thank you. I look forward to watching and learning more.
I have learned more from you than many of the other tutorials online. I have only been painting for 6 months...but your tutorials inspire me to dig deeper and experiment more. Your voice and cadence are easy to listen to (which is almost never the case) and your teaching style is calm and encouraging...so happy I found you.
I’ve been mixing colors for so long I almost didn’t watch this, but I am very glad I did. You’ve reminded me of why I use the colors I do, which is great because now I can review my pallet and make sure I’m being intentional. Great teaching, thank you
Sorry, I know that wasn't the subject today.....the latter part of my comment, but my mind keeps going to these other things as I'm watching you paint. Our teacher did have us make charts like you did today....very surprisingly coming up with so many beautiful mixes to work with. It was a fun and helpful exercise.....glad to see it again
I just found you this week. Your instructions are wonderful. I love this one on colors. I do have a few more colors but will concentrate mostly on what you describe, although can't afford to buy one I don't have or not to use others.
I really appreciate your explanation of the colors you choose to use and why. It really helped me. Swatching your primary colors makes so much sense. I was overwhelmed doing so with every color I have, most I dont use. Thank you so much!
I followed your advice with the limited palette and also created the charts. As a new painter, this helped me progress immediately, and I also thoroughly enjoyed the revelations of the mixing for the charts. I am very grateful for your clear and thoughtful instruction. Your videos are the best I have seen, by far, and I look forward to your future videos. Linda
Thank you so much for this!! I didn't really realize how much I struggled with color! Now I have a clearer understanding and can really see where I was making mistakes. I thoroughly enjoy your videos and have learned so much!
Such useful tips and modeling, Oliver! I thoroughly agree with your sentiments on learning through experience and practice, rather than following the movements and decision of many online tutors. These are the things I like and have learned: know your warm and cool primaries and apply use of the colors you mix from them logically; love the landscape; show emotion through your use of color; mix the pigments you know you’ll use before starting; work from your palette. Think about values, know how to quickly knock a color back to keep things where they belong. Oh, so much. Thanks!
Hi again. I just received my palette from England....same as yours...couldn't get one like it in Canada...but I was inspired by the way you set yours up. I will do the same. Your tutorials are all fabulous. Thank you so much...you have a real gift for teaching.
I have set up a palette with your same colours. As I’m new to landscape painting, it’s a great way to start. With lots of practice, I’ll be able to achieve a fairly good painting….Thank you Oliver for making it more simple to understand.
Hey Oliver, Such a lovely video .. very informative. I loved your pallete.. Please do share more videos , how you choose your pallete from a landscape photo.. , though you have mentioned alot about cool n warm colors.
Colour is my greatest weakness. Believe it or not there are some colours that actually make me feel ill. I can’t watch cartoons because of the colours they use. I know I’m not missing much but that is an indication of how powerful colour can be. Thanks for this lesson!
You are an extraordinary artist and instructor!! I just discovered you are your videos yesterday and am learning so much!!! This content is the best I've seen online and especially the analogies you use to make your points. Thank you so much and I know I'll be continuing to watch. I have subscribed.
Hi Oliver!!! As allways i love so much your tutorials. I like the way you teach and your painting. This is a very helpfull video , I’ll follow your intructions. Thank you so much , from Spain, for your generous teaching
From France : vos tutos sont extrêmement riches d'informations, de pratique et vos présentations sont très pédagogiques !! Merci beaucoup... j'ai reproduit les trois nuanciers présentés et j'avoue que cela va m'aider dans mes prochaines aquarelles....
Hi. Exercise terribly long and tedious, but on the other hand I discovered unexpected results of mixtures, as well as variations in density. I do not only landscape but a little bit of everything. This exercise is much more formative than the study of the famous color wheel, making me doubt the usefulness of certain colors such as vermilion in my palette for example. Thank you again for these very informative and relevant explanations. Well, I just have to practice now.
Really useful and visual guide to mixing colours and the colours / tints / tones they produce. I also like the limited palette idea. I'm OK at sketching but colour is a whole new world, so this is a great video which I'll be coming back to again and again.
Thankyou so much for your videos, I've learnt so much from them. I am a complete beginner and have watched many videos from other people but yours are the best by far. I have tried copying what you do and as you would expect the results are nothing like yours but I do feel that your advice will in time help me to get nearer to something decent. keep up the good work. Thanks Dave
Hello Oliver, I am very grateful for this video of yours. All my life my paintings have fallen down on colour. Never quite right. Sometimes dreadful. So maybe now, after I have made copies of your colour charts, I will improve. Many thanks
Hello Oliver thank you for these tutorials. I have found them so helpful and have shared them with my daughter who is just starting out with watercolours. Most enjoyable.
I have been inspired by your videos... I used to watercolor, and now I'm thinking it really is great plus I didn't realize how much my former teacher just ignored.. it was really fun though. Thank you for your valuable tips and for sharing your beautiful work. I really like watching your videos!! Love Marcia in Modesto
Oliver, It took quite a it of time, but have completed my color charts for my new palette. This was quite the exercise and I learned a lot about me and my landscape colors. Would like to send you a picture, but not sure how to go about that. Anyway, finding these to be an invaluable tool and having them laminated. If anyone would like to put in the effort, it is well worth it. Thanks for your insight and explanation.
This was really a great tutorial and helped to not only learn about mixing colors but to learn about what colors I don't need in my palette. For instance, there was no need to buy indigo because the paynes gray is so close. My cadmium red is so dark pumpkin orange I hate it and I'm going to try to find something else because it just doesn't produce anything usable for me. And when I run out of the cerulean blue that's going to be off the pallet as well. Interesting thing aside from working on water and brush control to fill in these neat little boxes I made, was that mixing 50/50 didn't give me the color I imagined it would. I think that's an interesting bias between what we think we should see and what the colors actually do. Could not be a better exercise that I will probably repeat.
This is really helpful. I plan to make my own colour charts too. I was also interested to hear you talk about how your paintings conjure up the way you feel about the landscape - do you feel this is something that has developed naturally over time or something you consciously pursued? Perhaps with practise I will develop my own style to reflect how the seascape around where I live (on the Pembrokeshire coast) makes me feel. I get a sense that, as it is a good idea to work with a limited palette it may also be a good idea, at least as a beginner, to limit my subject matter too. Thank you.
@@oliverpyle-ourlandscape4442 Reaction, motivation, attitude related to the subject. The end result is the "product/outcome". Difficult to put into words. Thanks Oliver
Thank you again! After starting on my color charts, I realized that I may be making it too complicated. From any two colors of course you know that it is possible to mix many different colors, some of which are heavy in color A and some are heavy in color B and some may be 50/50. I have been making several marks of different combinations in each square on my chart which seems too messy. Your charts have one bright clear color for each mix. I am thinking that perhaps I should play around with the colors on a scrap paper and then choose my favorite to put on my chart but I thought that I would ask your opinion. The color mixing is indeed fun and amazingly informative too! Thank you again!
You can actually learn a lot by doing transitional mixes.. starting with paint A and adding tiny amounts of paint B until you have only paint B. It's an especially good way of learning neutralizing mixes (mixing complements). This is how you find all those glorious deep colors and neutrals. For example you can get both perylene green and perylene maroon by mixing phthalo green and alizarin crimson (or pigments similar to them). They are in those spots on either side of neutral grey.
Pourquoi Oliver est un excellent professeur sur la couleur ? La couleur fait peur à beaucoup d'artistes mais lui a réfléchi d'une manière personnelle et en fonction de son environnement.
So informative and clear. I'd love to please know what the colours across the top are, the video is showing too fuzzy on my phone for me to read it. Thank you for all the work you do and kindly share with us.

Thank you so much Oliver, very helpful, I'm a beginner and this is the best tutorial I've seen on colours and mixing, such good instruction....
You have added greatly to my understanding of Colors. My grateful thanks. Look forward to seeing more such videos.

Il rend simple un sujet complexe. Oliver lie la connaissance, le sentiment des couleurs et l'usage de la palette. Excellent
So beautiful. Love Scotland and your painting just brings it alive. Need to give it a try, too 🙏🏻

Your discussion of color was very helpful. In addition to the discussion you included a demonstration of those colors in a sketch. Thank you.
Brilliant - simple explanations and will definitely be doing a colour chart, thank you so much for yet another interesting and informative video 👋
This is beautiful, well explained, and truly helpful, thank you!
Hello Oliver thank you for these tutorials. I have found them so helpful and have shared them with my daughter who is just starting out with watercolours. Most enjoyable.
Is there a printable chart with the labels? On my phone, it’s hard to see all the names.
I have been inspired by your videos... I used to watercolor, and now I'm thinking it really is great plus I didn't realize how much my former teacher just ignored.. it was really fun though. Thank you for your valuable tips and for sharing your beautiful work. I really like watching your videos!!

Thank you so much for this wonderful tutorial- I learned so much, and you are a wonderful painter and teacher too!
As an aspiring watercolour artist I find your videos so helpful and inspiring! Thank you.
Thank you very much, Oliver. Great tutorial, with crystal clear explanations. Loved your other tutorials as well.
I enjoy how Oliver mixes colors he helps me with mine thank you 😊
I find your paintings appealing. Hope you’re having gallery success. Thanks
Feeling so grateful for the knowledge and information you have provided here. Thank you so much

I have been making several marks of different combinations in each square on my chart which seems too messy. Your charts have one bright clear color for each mix. I am thinking that perhaps I should play around with the colors on a scrap paper and then choose my favorite to put on my chart but I thought that I would ask your opinion. The color mixing is indeed fun and amazingly informative too! Thank you again!
You can actually learn a lot by doing transitional mixes.. starting with paint A and adding tiny amounts of paint B until you have only paint B. It's an especially good way of learning neutralizing mixes (mixing complements). This is how you find all those glorious deep colors and neutrals. For example you can get both perylene green and perylene maroon by mixing phthalo green and alizarin crimson (or pigments similar to them). They are in those spots on either side of neutral grey.
Thank goodness I discovered your
