I have been practicing mixing and painting skin tones so the last part was helpful but most of all, that cool primaries seems better for my current subject than I had thought!

[courtenay]

So grateful for your lessons. Thank you!

This was extremely interesting and informative. I can apply it to my work immediately. You demonstrated all the colors I have been struggling with to
Mix myself. Excellent!!!

I found this a great refresher on the basics of color mixing. No matter how many similar videos I watch, I always pick up a little something new that I hadn’t thought of or had forgotten.

Wonderful demo and commentary! I always have trouble getting dark green or gray-greens, and beiges. And there's my next 10 min. time filler idea- color mixing!

This is one of 3 videos on color mixing... this one only using the primaries... fascinating, Michele! Thank you! This will help me on my return to painting again... still a new again beginner 😂 With love from a California Gramma... Wow, Michele... Egypt!!! You always amaze me!!!

Favorite takeaway was learning the versatility of Phthalo blue. I need to watch this a few times. Excellent knowledge thank you so much!

[stephanieh]

Wow, that test swatch looks completely different from what I see on the paint palette mix! I would never have expected to get that gorgeous color on the paper from that mix of paint. Great tip to frequently swatch those paint colors as we mix!

Today I actually painted along with the video. It was brilliant and I am so pleased with my efforts. Confidence growing and technique improving. The instructions are so clear and simple theory has helped my understanding. Thank you so much. Looking forward to next video ❤

Thank you so much for sharing this helpful info! I love your accent 😊

[Monardadidyma-gq]

I really appreciate this tutorial, bringing both analysis and real-time demonstrations together, color mix by color mix.

Always appreciate the cat-friendly-ness. I'm very sadly catless at this time, but I know that that eases arts-ing about with graphite and watercolor.

Thank you.
