It works even better if you use a colour wheel that’s more evenly spaced. One with Cyan Yellow and Magenta as mixing primaries, and Red Green and Blue as secondaries.
Thank you so much for mentioning using complementory colours to darken when painting. I was taught that in secondary school and then when I went to art school we had this big still life set up to paint sections of and it involved a lot of red velour. I was the only person who didn't end up with purple shadows. Everyone else was making the red darker with blue.
Excelente acuarela , me encanta como concluye la ilustración del melocotón y como va utilizando los colores mezclado con su aguada apropiada , profesionalidad y arte 👏👏🥇👑
The thing is, you need to also know the correct version of the color to pick. There are warm reds and cool reds. Warm and cool yellows. Warm and cool blues. All of which will yield different results. But overall it’s not the biggest deal. A slightly neutralized color is never a bad thing in a painting and can sometimes results in better color harmony
I've been learning art mostly because my children's books need illustrations... but I'm so much better with ink than with paint. I'm talking about acrylic inks and paints... but traditional painting (like trying to paint acrylics in an oilpainting type style) and me really doesn't mix, I'm so much better at watercolour style painting, I don't know why... Maybe it's because I'm a writer. Ink on paper is my natural medium!
They blend super well partially because they are made of all the same stuff. It’s harder to mix paints with a bunch of ingredients ie purple recipe can do this a lot
It’s not exactly the paints themselves that make watercolor look really good. Usually it’s actually just really high quality paper that makes it look the best.
Segue ogni lavoro con attenzione perché li trovo stupendi, ma, non capendo l'inglese mi piacerebbe se qualcuno di voi seguaci mettesse tra i commenti le sue parole. Per tutti quelli con il mio stesso problema, sarebbe oro.grazie
Wait this isn't common sense? I don't draw but don't you ser by looking at a rainbow at 5 what colors go into each other and therefore can mix? Confused
