Problems mixing dark colors with watercolor. My process for mixing correct colors and tones, values

In this episode I cover 6 topics which look at common beginner mistakes that hinder them from mixing correct tones and colors. I also cover my basic technique to help you start with the correct tones and colors to minimise later adjustments. This is my 14th video in my beginner watercolor painting series.

My teaching manual: Mastering Watercolors - A Practical Guide: amzn.to/3ZF2FRW

If you are a beginner, and this is the first of my videos in this series you are watching, then I highly recommend that you go back and begin at Watercolor Class One and do the exercises in each. These exercises are what I used to put my beginner face-to-face students through, before allowing them to progress to more advanced subjects. Even now, before a student, new to watercolor, can join my online class they have to first prove they have studied and applied this beginner lessons. In this way, new students are able to more easily join my more advanced classes.

I also have a couple of watercolor painting books which I published and distribute through Amazon.
The first one, which has sold over 10,000 copies is bascially my teaching manual and is titled:
Mastering Watercolors - A Practical Guide.
The second is full of step by step demonstrations and is titled: Watercolor Step By Step: https://amzn.to/3z4YXEu
Both books are available in kindle format and paperback.
