Color Mixing Exercises

Exercises 1 - 4

On your palette( I used palette paper at the Reno show and a white corelle plate at home) squeeze about 6 drops of the first color at the 9 o'clock position, 6 drops of the second color at the 3 o'clock position and 3 drops of  each color at the 12 o'clock position.

Paint the first pure color on the left most side of the worksheet with one brush.  The paint the second pure color on the right with a second brush.  Then paint a square somewhere in the middle (ok with 10 rows there is no middle) after thoroughly mixing the 2 colors.  Then work from between the pure color and the mix to get the in between colors.  I used matte medium to get the tint squares.

I painted tissue paper with the leftover paint.  I can use this paper in a collage later.

The Color Index Name (CI number listed after the color) are as close as I could get with the Golden Fluid paints.  Not every color is available in the paint yet.  The book will help you identify the exact color if you are using paints other than my color mixing set.  I am currently researching the CI numbers of  Winsor & Newton Artists' Watercolor Half Pans.
