I am always interested in which colors artists choose and why. I like the minimum list but I'd also be interested in how many more colors you really like having, and the reasons you would add them.

Thank you for including the pigment numbers, which is the only way to know what a colour is as trade names vary. I use Schminke paints (which use traditional names such as quinacridone magenta or phthalo blue rather than the more descriptive but not illuminating names often used by W&N) so when artist's mention colours by the trade name only I always have to go look up the W&N pigment number chart to see what colour they are actually talking about. Every artist eventually develops their own "go to" palette. In addition to a basic warm/cool palette I really rely on burnt sienna, burnt umber, yellow ochre and Prussian blue. I know, Prussian blue is controversial, but those of us who are devotees are passionate about it 🤣.

When I got into watercolour painting I made the mistake of buying way too many colours. They’re so beautiful, it’s very hard not to. But, as you rightly say Louise, it’s so much harder to learn colour mixing skills which are absolutely essential for diving deeper into colour and making informed choices when it comes to professional watercolour practice. Now I’ll stop typing and enjoy your delightful bloopers 🫶🏻

I have been painting for 20+ years, though I knew the concept of warm and cool colours, I did not know myself HOW to categorise them. the trick with the colour wheel is easy and powerfull. I am colour blind, i mix my colours with the basic concepts but this will bring it to a whole other level !!! with much gratitude and appreciation, Rachelle

Hi Louise - thank you so much! I am doing traditional Chinese water painting and your videos are helping me a lot to select and mix the colors, specially for the landscape paintings. The colors used are very limited and variation by mixing different color temperatures makes the paintings more vibrant. Also the paper is different as for watercolor paintings, so it is a bit more challenging to make corrections. Thanks a lot, and if you have spare time you should try Chinese water painting, it is really fascinating.

My learning moment about watercolor paint temperature bias: I was attempting to mix a flesh tone for a painting of an infant. From my reading, I understood that I needed a mix of yellow, red, and brown. To my consternation, with using a warm red, the infant's face looked orange. I couldn't save this mixture, and had to start again, this time using a cool red which gave me the pink I desired. I don't recall the yellow I used. May favorite color is burnt sienna, which I often pair with a blue/green or teal. My least favorite is ultramarine blue, which I only use for mixing. I would add Payne's gray to your list.
