This is a great video for those artists who feel they cannot afford all the colors suggested in other videos! Thank you for these 3 suggestions. Great color mixing!!

I love seeing the different contrast in each painting between using two analogous or two complementary colors. And of simplifying and thinking about a painting from the perspective of the warm and cool aspects of the picture I’m copying. My two favorites were the tiger (for the bold contrast) and the bear (for the soft contrast). Love this video! Thank you Emily!

I love the very soft focus look of the bear. He may not be so colourful, but if felt he had a little mystique about him that I love. Your talent always leaves me with a dropped jaw Emily. I am a newish member of watercolour mastery (3 months), and yet I remain so afraid to try at my age (57, with a disability), that I just don’t. You ought to hear the million excuses I trot out - shameful…! 👩🏻🎨🖌️🎨🥰🏴

This is truly amazing using only 2 colors. Love the tiger the most but they are all wonderful. It’s so remarkable. I guess, understanding the colors in your palette will help most artists paint and achieve the right colors they want rather than buying individual tubes which is very expensive. I truly admire your work and your wet on wet technique. Hoping to see this in your tutorial site. I am a patron for years now. You are a good artist.

After spending thousands on paints, I have realized that the best results come by picking only TWO colors, plus a Sepia OR a Payne's Grey as your "black" (basically, as your enhancer). And you pick one of the two enhancers based to if you want the painting to be warm or cool. But the main colors, for new artists, should just be two. Adding more ends up in very kids-like paintings, too colorful (unless you're a master of course, in which case you don't overdo it easily, so having a larger palette is not a hindrance).

Beautiful work. I've been pushing myself to experiment with unique limited palettes, as well, and I always find the end result is just so expressive and unique. I've been favoring Caran d'Ache Neocolor Its lately, and been playing with a limited palette of Vermillion, Golden Yellow, and Turquoise Green. (If I were to name watercolor equivalents, perhaps Roman Szmal Cobalt Teal, Roman Szmal Nickle Azo Yellow, and Mission Gold Light Red are close equivalents.) It's especially challenging when your subject reference doesn't really have anything close to those particular colors, or, when your subject has violet, for example, but your colors won't ever mix anything very close to violet. Just have to interpret the color in a new way! Thanks for sharing!

I went to college and majored in studio art where we had to do a self portrait in only two colors of our choice, not necessarily complementary colors. I chose my two favorites, purple and green and was super excited to start thinking I was going to just love the assignment especially since I finally had a reason to use my pretty new purple oil paint color. After I got started, it didn’t take long before I knew I made a huge mistake and needless to say, it was not a good choice or one that I thought all the way through because when I was done, I looked like the Hulk 😂😂😂 It was still a good lesson learned in colors though!

These are awesome! The tiger is my fave, probably because it is incredible to get the accuracy of the tiger’s color with just 2 paint colors. The other two are awesome too. Also, mixing the brands is eye opening to me. Have you ever watched David Walker? He only has 7 colors in his palette.

Hullo Emily, I liked all 3 paintings and I believe that mixing multiple pigment colors is quite difficult for most beginners and is never the "easiest" task for most! I believe it can be done, in fact, you did it! I think it just shows how good of painter you are, well done. My favorite if your forcing me to pick would be the Bear. The most striking is the Tiger, just because! I just watched Denise Soden's most recent video featuring 3 colors, not usually picked for a painting and she also created a wonderful painting and exercise! Stretching ourselves as Artists is one way we can grow our skills and expand our reach into other areas of expertise, yes? I think so. Thanks for this lovely video and sharing your paintings with us. Please take care and have a lovely day!

Fabulous in your talented hands! Any color combo you think would be helpful would be great. I likely have mentioned it before, Apologies if I have mentioned this before, but Hazel Soan's "Art of the Limited Palette" (discussed in an interview with her on YT), is really outstanding and has many more combos that produce amazing results. Also, in a workshop I took with Tony Couch, he stated to paint it any color, as value and design were most important.

I've been trying out some limited palettes after reading Hazel Soan's Art of the limited palette. I learned a lot out of the book but one thing I remembered today, when you were painting the lion and not able to get a dark dark, was that to get a really dark dark you must use two transparent colors. The cobalt violet you used was opaque. I'd be curious to see the difference if the lion was painted again but with a transparent version of the cobalt violet was used. The Belladonna in the last painting was semi transparent and you got great darks with it so maybe as long as a color is at least semi transparent and not opaque you can get good darks with it? I highly recommend the book. I bought it digitally but I refer back to it quite often so I might end up buying a hard copy of the book too. Love your paintings.
