Oh my goodness! Just discovered your channel. You made this chart so clear and understandable. This is the first chart that that excited me to learn from. It’s truly learning and focusing on the color you make. When you said you can make a chart 20 times and not get the same color but they’re all correct completely blew my mind. It freed me to be me not someone else’s. Thank you! Thank you! You have subscriber. 😊👍You are a true educator an artist.
Yeah…new for me, but great.
This is gold. Bought his book for $5. He lowered the price because of the pandemic. It's definitely a must read!

Still worth it he’s very knowledgeable!! And he seems like a sweet guy I’m always down to help somebody build their business!!!
The best tutorial how to mix colors ever!!! ❤❤❤ thank you so much for sharing with us
While many people make paint charts to aid mixing, you are the first to provide one that makes perfect sense to me. Thank you very much.
I’m a complete beginner with a box of 48 colours and no clue what do do with them to get the colours l want. This is an exceptional method, best of all l have seen, thank you so much, this is gong to be absolutely invaluable!
A light bulb moment for me. I have been struggling mixing the colours I wanted, and finally I find your video, and you have shown me exactly what I have been searching for. Thank you so much Alek.
“And don’t forget the book.” 👍🏻🤗
Finally a mixing video that was worth watching, and using the chart is so intuitive when you're done. Thank you.
I can’t thank you enough for making this fantastic video. I have always considered myself colour challenged and have never been able to figure out an approach to learning and mixing colour that was not completely daunting. This approach simplifies it down to a manageable number of mixing colours, tells me which colours to mix with which, and provides me with an incredible range of resulting mixes. After watching your video, I have spent the past 3 hours swatching and mixing 3 of my sets, (M.Graham, Schmincke and Mission Gold.)I think I learned more this morning than in my entire painting life! I plan to do this with all of my paints. Not only will this give me great practise and help to solidify this knowledge, it will give me a complete reference and library of my paints. Never again will I buy silly sets of 24 or 36 paints! I will be buying your book... Thank you so much!!!
I always prefer your videos. there are so many watercolor videos on YT now, but you were one of the first and helped me out when I was first starting. :)
This is absolutely the best tutorial of mixing watercolor. I will definitely be getting his e-book.
I absolutely love this teaching. You gave me a great understanding. Thank you for your time and your lesson.
As a complete beginner & after searching & glazing colors over others when actually trying to mix was getting different “strange colors” as would just choose a brown & then another! This method is simpler & use less paint than big squares! Ty
Awesome.
This is the best color mixing video I have ever seen. It caters to my more scientific mind.
Exactly what I needed! Brilliantly explained. And I won't forget the book.
I'm late to the party...but what a brilliant idea, sir! I'm going to try this. I'm amazed at how few colors are in your palette. I guess I have way too many! Lol
Thank you, Ellen. They are hard, but your tutorial resulted in the best peony I’ve tried yet. Love your talent.
The best explanation to understanding the many colors you can use with others. Thanks.
I agree. This video is pure gold. Thanks Alek. You make it look so simple. Your mastery clearly shows in this tutorial.
Finally, a tool that is so usable!! Thank you.
I saw this years ago and now searched and searched till I found it again! Thank you
Such a great tutorial on color mixing. Thanks so much
This was so, so helpful to get me going on mixing my watercolors. Before this I was totally confused. Thank you so much Alek. - Stephanie
Simple and very practical, watercolor mixing technique! It gives You an insight about how many different colors you can create using some basic pigments. Another take home message is that you don’t need to buy any tube green or tube purple because you can easily mix these colors using your basic pigments.
Thank you 🙏🏻 so much. Finally, I’ve found someone who explains this method so well. I now ‘get’ it. I’m a beginner and was very confused.
Fantastic. ❤
This was awesome. I’m new to watercolour so you were wonderful at explaining .
I have added a new palette to my bag and am in the process of swatching it out. I ran into your video and found it rather interesting, a new way to see what one can get from the paints one already has. After all the classes I have taken and all the videos I have watched, I have never seen this technique. I think it is far easier to put together and provides a broader picture of what one can achieve. Thank you for this. I am going to try it as a different way to ascertain what paints I need to use to get a color I do not have.
I'm so impress just everytime. I also once commented it but its really just seemed like a photograph just every detail is on point so amazing.
Thank you so much for this demonstration....what an clear way to understand the balance and influence of color mixing! Brilliant!
thank you Alek! That was very useful.
Effectivement très astucieux et utile - Merci 🙏
Great advice! I'm just a beginner with watercolor and I'm terrible at mixing colors so I've been looking for ways to learn how to mix them and this is by far the best method I've found to get an idea and create a great great chart of mixed colors.
Brilliantly useful. Thank you.
Thank you. One of the most sensible colour mixing charts I've seen. I'm going to try it...(but might add a couple more colours!) Tusen takk. Sue i Oslo
Looks very useful,will try out soon! Thanks
Thank you, Alex, for a concise way to mix colors. I liked how I could take my chart and locate the color I'm looking from my freshly made swatches! I'm glad you mentioned not to add water after I start. I would have!
Loved that exercise ... simple and makes sense
Thank you for this demonstration. I’m going to do this for sure.
Thank you so much, this has been an eye opener for me in the colour mixing area.
Best video I've seen about color mixing, clear and straight to the point👍
I used this system with my students yesterday and they all loved their new understanding of color. I have used the color wheel system for years and this way of charting seems to give them a much easier window into how to find the color they need. Thanks again!!! (I gave you full credit) ;)
Your a wonderful teacher Alek.. thank you for sharing your wisdom with us!
This chart for watercolour is the easiest and most accurate one I have seen. I hope to start it very soon. I do, however prefer a hand held book.
+hyladavid Contact me by mail and we can see what I can do!
Great explaination especially with someone like I who has cognitive issues due to having Borrelia. This shows me exactly what I need to know about mixing the colors. Thanks for sharing.
Oh my! I wish I had found you before I purchased all the colors which I will never use. I also spent a ton of money when I only needed 9 colors. I will def buy your book. Thank you!!!!
Brilliant. Everything I needed. I actually understand color now. ❤
Thank you for this. One of the best color chart ideas I've seen yet. Really gets the most out of the paper, paint, and time. I will be testing this out in my sketchbook for my watercolors. I would love to get your book and see more of your wonderful work!
Teaching my great granddaughter about mixing watercolor. This was a fun exercise. Thank you.
Thanks Alek. Really helpful
So this is probably the best explanation for understanding color mixing for us, complete beginners ;) Thank you
This is the single most helpful thing I've ever seen. Thank you so much.
Brilliant, really effective and simple. Thank you.
This is brilliant and so useful for a new watercolor student! Thanks so much!
This is awesome. I'm self-taught and I've been struggling with color mixing and color wheel for so long! This exercise was also an oportunity to break into my watercolor set and test every color. Thank you so much.
This is a good idea on understanding the outcome of the mixing. Im going to try it out
Fantastic explanation. I don't understand the color wheel, this is a really nice method. I got started right away 😇
Thanks Alek. This is the most useful system I have found. Like most beginners I have way too many colors. I am now starting to reduce my basic palette and needed a good way to decide on what to eliminate. I plan to use your system with my entire collection (not all that large-a total of 32). The plan is to keep only those on my palette that provide the most useful variety in conjunction with each other. With a little luck and determination I hope to trim it down by about half.
How did you plan the paper with all 32 colours?
... thank you, very good! I'm brand new to painting and watercolor... in my late 30s and struggling, very overwhelmed by all the info and what supplies you really need. This was very useful!
Brilliant. Thank you.
I wish I saw this video before buying my 1x 48 color pan set and another 24 color set, plus a few loose tubes! And you were right, I got confused and don't know how I got a certain color! Thank you so, so much for this.
Thank you for your explanation and demonstration sir! more power to you!
if i ever manage to make paypal work i will definitely buy your book! this was one of the best colour chart tutorials i have seen yet :)
Probably the best watercolor mixing system! I've learned so much in less than 20 mins. Thank you for sharing! Im looking forward in buying your book!
Sir, thank you so much!!! What an incredible visual tutorial with guided teaching.
Thankyou for your great practical knowledge. I'm going to try this out right now. Am a newbie to painting. My retirement hobby!
Wow.... Thank you very much sir. That is genuinely one of the most helpful things I've watched regarding watercolors on RUclips.
Great video
Brilliant, thank you for this idea for a chart. This is exactly what I need as my knowledge of colour mixing is non existent, until now ! Cheers Alex.
Wonderful Alek, thank you for doing this, it is the best explanation on colour mixing anyone could want. A 'printed copy of your book' please, I could do with that.
As an amateur, I was ready to do a color chart, but couldn’t figure out how to do color mixing. This was very informative and timely. I noted your web site and will likely order your book…..depending if there is any money left in my Paypal account (HaHaHa)…….Thank you.
That's really neat, Alek. Thanks for posting.
Thank you for showing this to all of us👍👍
Much appreciated, Alek!
Thank you Sir for this video. I am a new water colorist, and observing how you had mixed the colors helped to visually explain what I was finding elusive. Thank you for you invite, and knowledge.
If you had a hole punch a hole could be put in each colour, then it would be easier to match the colour you wish to paint.
Susan Banks such a super Idee!
So they can look through the hole and see if it matches up!! Susan, youre a diamond!
great idea!!!
or you could cut it in stripes like a color sampler, so that the color lines end at the border of the strips and can be looked at side by side with the object.
Susan Banks brilliant!
Top notch advice Alek!
Thank you!
It's 2022 now and your lesson still helps enormously - thank you!! I'm off to find the book :).
this is very fun to watch, i can't wait to try it myself. thank you for the video!
WOW! I am so glad I caught this!
Thank you so much! I made quite a few charts, but not as in depth as you showed. Will follow your advise. Thank you for making the e-book available in English
This lesson helped me a lot! I did the chart and suprised me how much colors i can use now!
Many thanks Alek a great innovation. Will go and make one myself and check out your book. Have a great day mate.
Thank you! The chart is so helpful and makes so much sense. I'll try it soon.
Fantastic!!!
Fun work. Thank you
This is such a brilliant idea! I just did a mini color chart using this :) Thanks!
Thank you!!! This is so understandable! It's the firs one I've understood, and am likely to use. Off to email you about the book!
A Great Resource and a wonderful explanation. Thank you so much!
Thanks. I found this so much easier than a colour wheel!
It's still one of my favorite exercises. Thanks for sharing.
This was a great tutorial on color theory (mixing colors). I loved it and I learned a lot today. Thank you sir.
I’m going to try making one today. Thank you for a superb tutorial!
This video is the easiest to follow I have enjoyed it very much and Alex I believe I could watch you create this palette all day. The colors inspire me to live! Which is why I love painting. I am a beginner and need a teacher. I will e-mail you for your book and questions.Thank you for sharing on You tube
There’s also two sets of primaries! One is cool and the other is warm.
One mixes bright/pure secondaries and the other mixes mixes muted secondaries.
The difference is VERY noticeable
Excellent! I get it now ❤
That is an eye opener, fantastic! Thank you
muchas gracias Maestro excelente información éxito
