A great little lesson, thank you! Worth mentioning that any colour can be ‘greyed down’ by adding a touch of it’s compliment, therefore if you introduce even a small amount of a third colour you will grey down = muddy your mix. If you lovely green formed from mixing a blue and a yellow gets contaminated by red it will be less vibrant. Of course if you want a brownish green you can use this principle deliberately.

@MatzeMaulwurf Год назад

Great! I believe it is very important to mix the pictures colors out of very few base colors. You are mixing hundreds of colors out of let’s say six colors. So they look very well composed. I tend to use very many colors straight from the pallet. And this always looks non natural. Thanks!

@marigoldwood8494 3 года назад

Very helpful. Many thanks. Something I am struggling with is moving up from small (a5/a4 size) paintings to quarter imperial size. I have tried doing small versions first and they look fine, but when I do a larger version using the same composition, colours etc, I just don't like the result. Any tips would be much appreciated.

@KarenRiceArt 3 года назад

Great question Michele! As A4 is about half the size of 1/4 imperial, it is a big jump so maybe go in between the sizes. If you are running out of time on 1/4 imperial and the washes are drying too quickly, you could use a spritzer bottle to keep your painting from drying out. Make sure you mix plenty of paint in advance and use larger brushes if you can. Hope this was helpful :)

@marigoldwood8494 3 года назад

@@KarenRiceArt Thanks, Karen. Will definitely go out and get a couple of big brushes asap. In your opinion, though, do all compositions work for different sizes or do you make changes?

@KarenRiceArt 3 года назад

Thank you Nicole and for your question. No matter whether the colours are transparent or opaque, there is always a danger of muddying colours if you painting is not dry or from overworking. I agree though opaque colours are prone to muddying, especially with overworking 😀

@irener1111 Год назад

I have a hard time keeping my paper wet, it seems to dry very quickly. How do I prevent that? I live in AZ

@KarenRiceArt Год назад

To stop your painting from drying too fast, you could do one or more of the following. Work smaller, gives you more time. Make sure you have your paint mixed up beforehand, saves time. Always load your brush and load it often, keeps the paper wet and even. Really wet it for a while with clean water, allowing it to soak into your paper, gives you more time. Some papers dry quicker than others. I found Arches and Saunders Waterford are great for staying wet longer. 100% cotton paper does not dry as quickly. You can also spritz your paper with water to rewet it as well.
