When I've used watercolours I've tried to mix some of those warm, cool, neutral tones using a palette limited to (a)the main blues - ultramarine, cobalt, prussian, cerulean (b)a few cadmium reds and burnt sienna which I sometimes treat like a red, avoiding alizarin crimson for some reason (it fades I think) and then (c) lemon and cadmium yellow. I avoid black and white and could never get around to using raw umber. What does anyone use white for?<br /><br />I came to the conclusion that limiting your watercolour palette mightn't be the best idea when I started to use Sap Green which was very vibrant and can't be mixed - trying to mix that colour can result in mud.<br /><br />That post of yours is very educational. I'm gonna have to look into my box of colours now again and then my wallet and then the Art Shop.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09363110547537633844noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298214460012981751.post-92220870586461652942009-07-07T06:48:21.255-07:002009-07-07T06:48:21.255-07:00Color harmony is SO such an important element and ...Color harmony is SO such an important element and is often overlooked. Recently, I am starting my paintings by working up the colors before hand. I mix a dark and then add some white and keep mixing different colors into it creating a color harmony.<br />I've been experimenting with different palettes and when I see what colors come up, then I can decide what the painting will be.<br />FUN!Mary Sheehan Winnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07739304038978908921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3298214460012981751.post-28377620573545803052009-06-05T03:02:51.648-07:002009-06-05T03:02:51.648-07:00What a great teacher you are Joyce, always trying ...What a great teacher you are Joyce, always trying to make it possible for others to more easily obtain good results.
