Watercolor palette part two

9:26 PM Posted by Matthew Pernack No comments
I am a firm believer in getting to know how the pigments in my palette work together. This means mixing all the colors together to see what they do. I highly recommend that every artist do this. Wether you are a watercolorist, acrylic or oil painter. It's basic color theory. 

Since I have 14 colors drew a 15 by 15 grid. I then used masking fluid to separate the squares. The top and left column are the pure colors. Every other square is a mixture of those colors. This gives an artist an idea of how their colors mix together. Of course this is only two colors mixed together. 

See the result below.
