Get to Know Your Watercolors: Paint a Colorful Mixing Chart the Easy Way

1. Introduction: Okay, in this class, we're going to paint a color chart and make it super easy. Anyone can do it? Yes, a color chart. When I first started watercolor, I thought, I do not like this idea of painting these charts. Like, why don't we even see these charts? And this doesn't seem fun at all to me. A guess why? Once I tried it, I thought this is actually on, in this class, we're going to chat a little bit about why the paint, the color charts in the first place. Once we know a little bit about the why, then we'll talk about the how and I'll show you how color charts actually work, how you put them together, and all the parts and pieces of that. And how we're going to paint one together. As we go. I'm going to be sharing all my tips and tricks for making this really simple, really easy, and doable for anyone. No measuring is involved in this class. So now that we know the why and the how, then we're going to put it into practice. So I'll take you step-by-step through drawing the grid, painting, the pure pigments, the pure colors, and of course, filling in those color mixes, I'm going to make it really easy for you. This is a real-time class where I take you through everything step-by-step. I'm with you through the whole process. And I'm also giving you my thoughts as I paint and explore these colors. Excited to share this class with you, I think you're going to enjoy making this pleasure and seeing the gorgeous colors that you can get with your paints. So come along with me, let's pay. 2. What a Color Chart Teaches You & Project Chat: Yes, a color chart. Hey, my friends, welcome to this class. I'm so glad you decided to continue on with it. Now, many of you who follow me already know that you got to vote on the color. And you've got to choose between these two sets. We had the marine scape and we had the shades of summer. You guys chose that you chose shades of summer. It's a gorgeous color palette. And so we're going to make a color chart, or maybe two, maybe two with these colors. And basically it's a way for you to get to know your watercolor paints when you're starting a new set of colonize familiar with them. This is a great way to get familiar, and you'll also learn more about the color temperature of your paints, the values of your paints. But mainly you learn about the gorgeous colors that you can mix. Strong or weak. I'll be honest with you. When I first started watercolor, I thought, I do not like this idea of painting these charts. Like, why don't we even see these charts? And this doesn't seem fun at all to me. A guess why? Once I tried it, I thought this is actually fun. It takes some time. Don't get me wrong. Making charts. The watercolor charts takes awhile. And the more colors you have, the longer it will take, you don't want to make a big sheet with a whole bunch of colors, just pick a few of your colors, even two or three, to make your chart. And you will learn a lot about those if you're only going to pick three. Here's a pro tip for you. Pick a red, a yellow, and the blue. And that will give you all kinds of color mixes. I am excited. I actually really do love making these color charts. They're not hard. One can be a little confusing, but I'm going to explain that to you, so don't worry, you'll be able to do it by the time we're finished. By the time we finished, you'll be able to make a color chart for sure. So let's get started. 3. What Is A Color Chart? + Supplies: Yes, a color chart. Now, what is the color chart anyway? Well, as you can see, color chart for mixing colors. It's so you'll know what your paint colors are and what they do when you mix them together. Then watercolor, your colors, move and blend. And you want those gorgeous color mixes that you can get. If you just have the right colors, you can get any color. But it's important also to get to know your paints. Because your paints will make beautiful, gorgeous grace. They'll make colors you might not expect, I know that I've done charts before and I'm like, Wow, I never expected this to make this color. So that's why you would want to make a color mixing chart other than the fact it is fine. It doesn't look very fun, but it's fun especially once you start painting and getting those beautiful mixes. You'll, you'll fall in love with your watercolors all over again. Okay, So this is an example, not an example but a template. And I will give you copy this template in the resources, so be sure and print it out if you need a little help. And it'll tell you exactly how to make a color chart, including where to put what paints. This is how you set up your color chart. And then once you get it all set up, this tells you how to mix which paint where. I'm going to demonstrate all of that for you. I do have a few tips and tricks as we go along the way, but I'll discuss those a little bit more. But depending on the number of paints, you will pick the size of your paper. The more paints you'll need bigger paper. You can also change the size of your squares in your grid. That will also make a difference in how many paints, if I'd made my squares smaller, I could put more paints on this, but I'm only doing five. So I was fine just to do on this is a seven by ten sheet. And you'll see I have a trick for you for making these squares. That's super easy. So there you go. You can use a pencil or a black marker or tape to mark your lines. For this class in particular, I'm going to use this black pen, but sometimes you might want to see the colors next to each other more clearly. And in that case, you could either use the tape to mark off the lines. You can use a pencil which can be erased later if you wanted to. There is that you're also going to need a ruler. Now, I happen to have a T-square. And I love this T-square because when you put it down on against the edge, you can make straight lines. Make straight lines. Now if you're using a spiral, you're not gonna get a straight lines. This is just my template, so I'm actually just going to be doing it on my watercolor paper. Now, you have options when it comes to using your watercolor paper. If you're concerned about the expense of the paper, then you can use a practice paper. You can use, you can use Canson watercolor paper, or wood pulp watercolor paper. I'm going to be using my cotton watercolor paper because frankly, once I started using cotton watercolor paper, I never go back. The colors are just more vibrant and they behave better on cotton papers, so it's worth the investment if you can, but if you can't, that's okay. There are also other kinds that have part cotton then be twenty-five percent cotton and wood pulp. It'll just be called watercolor paper if it's made of wood pulp, so it won't stay wood pulp on the label. It will just say water color paper. But if it's made with cotton, it will say cotton. And it'll tell you either 100% cotton or it will tell you twenty-five percent cotton or whatever. This happens to be Legion Stonehenge, Aqua, one of my very favorites. It's pretty cost-effective and has a light texture. This is cold press, has a light bit of texture. I'm trying to see, maybe you can see that on the camera. And it really is gorgeous paper. I loved the way it works with watercolor. Now I use it the colored papers, other papers too. So you don't have to have this one. Use what you have. So you can do the project. And if you try out cotton, watercolor paper some time and you like it, they go with cotton, but if you like the other paper, fine, Do what works for you. I always say that. Okay, so I'm using this paper, I have a cut to size. It's not exactly the same size as my template. If you wanted to, you can trace over this template, but it's not hard to draw it. So I'm going to just start drawing it for you. 4. Tips Before We Get Started: Yes, a color chart. This particular set has five tubes of paint, which is why our color chart has five spaces for pain. And they come in tubes. Now, your paints may not come in tubes and that's okay. It doesn't it doesn't matter whether they're tubes or pans or whatever. It doesn't matter if this just happens to be tubes. So if you have two paints and they're not already in a palette, what you can do is you can take a pallet. It can have any kind of palette you can use. This is one of my favorite kinds of Alex right here is just this little metal box and you can put all the colors in different size tins, which you can buy these individually. And even though the lid is silver, I can still use for mixing. Hi, anyway, so any kind of palette. And I've squeezed my tubes into my dish that I want to use. My palette in this case, actually get these Dicer, which is the Japanese dollar store near our house. They're really inexpensive and they make great palettes. I love them, I love them. They have different sizes and shapes. They're made they're made for cooking. They work for what? So that's a little little little bonus tip there. Okay. So these tubes, if you're new, if you're just now trying out tubes. Always squeezed your tube from the bottom because Well, you know, you have maybe toothpaste in a tube and you can squeeze it from here. And all the the toothpaste, they'll get back here and you can squeeze it forward. But usually watercolor tubes are metal. And you always want to squeeze from this end because you're moving your paint toward the opening. And you also want to squeeze and gently because your watercolor is just right there, often, is just right there. So you want to make sure you want to be careful because it may, it may have pressure on an already and go out that ordered speech. Um, but this one doesn't, and these I put here. Let's go and I'll let them sit so they were dry and harden a little bit. M Graham is made with honey so they don't completely dry. It just depends on the watercolor you have. You don't have to use these. You can use any colors. You want to try. But I just wanted to show you that you can just squeeze them out ahead of time and let them dry a little bit if you want to. Always squeeze from the bottom of the tube. And they have these cool gadgets and I don't have one yet that goes on the tube and then you roll it up, that'll make sure you get all of your pain out. Because you know, watercolor paint can be expensive because it's highly pigmented. So there you go. Here are the five colors. And you see we have an orange, a yellow, a green, a green, and a blue. What is up with that? There's no red. There's no purple, right there. There are colors that you think of. Like if you think of rainbow colors, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, oh, Violet, we don't have those, right? We have a specific color palette. In this case, you can actually mix and match your own colors. Like say, oh, I want to try these three colors together than a color chart is a great way for you to get an idea of how they'll look together and you may do it and go, oh, no, no. This is not because this is not good. And you wouldn't know that if you didn't make the color chart. So we have our colors squeezed out. They've dried a little. If you want to know the actual names, this is garlic, pyrrole, bismuth, yellow, permanent green. Flip this one over. Sap green and cobalt teal. And I have not made a color chart with these colors before. My favorite color in this set is the Cobalt Teal. And it's one that I feel like this one is special, but that's just me. Then I have also made a little swatch chart. Now, I didn't record when I made this. But basically you just put a little swatch of paint and you add some water. You can see what the colors look like. So you see them here and then you see them here. But we're going to see them on our color chart because all of these outside areas are where we're putting the paint colors, right? M Graham, sticky. M Graham stay sticky and it will attract bees. Any, any honeybees, watercolor will stay sticky and attract bees. Doors and just be aware of. All right, but these are beautiful, they're gorgeous, they're easy to rewet and all of that because they're honeybees. To take this, set the colors in. And then we'll get started with our color mixing. 5. Drawing The Mixing Chart Part 1: Yes, a color chart. Let's get started drawing our template. I'm going to make this super easy for you because I lived for things to be easy. And I'm going to leave a space at the top. I know that my chart will fit because I have my template and this paper is a little bit larger than this paper. And I had played, I had this space at the bottom. I had a room at the top. So I'm going to leave some space at the top and space on the sides for the, for the paints, for paint swatches of the pure color of the pure paints. So that's what those are. I'm going to start there. And all you're going to do is you're going to take your t-square or your ruler or straight edge if you don't have those. Let me flip my paper around because that edge is a little bit not even but this one is more even because I like to tear the paper. So I will leave space at the top for my paints and for maybe a title. So a little bit extra space. I need to make sure I can fit my five. So if I just have an idea that would be 12345, you can see I'm not being very precise right? Now. Some people like to be very precise and you can measure if you want to, you can say, I want one inch squares and so you can mark up your paper and measure. But I'm just going to do this the easy way for me. And I'm going to actually use the size of the ruler to be the size of my squares. So that makes it super easy. I'm going to leave that extra space at the top. Like I said, if you want, you can go for pencil first. I'm just going to go ahead and go for my mark there because it looks like everything's okay here. And just going to start all the way. I'll just start all the way to the edge because that's convenient. You can make a space over there if you want. And I'm going to make both sides. I may have to put my hand in the frame here because I need to be able to see my line and make sure I got it on straight. Then maybe stand up, which I am doing now. So I can see my line and then hold my ruler steady, steady, steady, and then just draw my line. Now this is cold press paper has a bit of texture. And guess what? This is for my reference, it doesn't have to be perfect. So now I have a horizontal line. Then. I'm just going to go ahead and demonstrate this for you right now. You can do it whichever order you want. I want to leave a space again, and all I need over here really are my colors. I don't need a gap. Here. I needed a title, but here I want my colors. So I need space for my colors. And then I need, I need five spaces for my colors. There we go, 123, like that, and I'll need five going for us. This paper is plenty wide, so I'm just going to bold it straight and bolted down and we go and then I'll do the same on this side. Now. I went all the way to the top here, which means no room for title. So in this section, I'm going to try to remember and the way I would try to review that section, I'll just draw a line there with my pencil so I can put a little title. And it'll just draw a pencil line across. And I'm not measuring because I'm not I'm not worried about that. Okay. So now remember to stop there when I'm making my vertical lines. You may have to move things off your table by the way, I kinda had to do that. Now look, you can see here no line. What am I going to do is, you know, the width is your ruler, your straight edge. So you just look at back, then, line it up and do it again. Remember, it doesn't have to be perfect. It's a chart for your reference. Okay, so I'm going to finish this. I'm gonna do 11 more slower and then I'm going to speed through. I'm going to speed the video up for you because you don't need to see this repeated. So there we go. But down, making sure it's straight. Holding my paper and my straight edge, trying to at the same time. And not pushing against that straight edge because that might make it wiggle or move. Again, doesn't have to be perfect. And then back that line was a perfect. Okay, so there we go. That makes my spacing super easy by using the width of the ruler. 1234, I need one more space. Moved. This is very easy way because you don't have to measure, but you do have to hold the ruler. So that's kind of a straight edge. So 12345 actually have an extra at the bottom. No big deal. Alright, I'm gonna do the same thing, the vertical spaces, I need 5510 spaces. So I'm just going to repeat the process and I will speed this part up for you. Stopping at my line. I find it easier to go faster. Let's see, 12345 interior spaces. So that's enough for five amps. And all the rest of this is chest bones. So to sell it, I'll know that that's what I'm where I'm stopping. There we go. I have a bigger piece of paper that I need. But over in this area I can put nodes or I can put other interesting color mixes. There are lot of things you can do but this side, so this is a very traditional kind of colored chart that you see people make all the time. But now you have an easy way to measure between the lines. And you know that you need the number of spaces based on the number of pants are trying. Now you need five horizontal, five horizontal, and five vertical. Because you're going to put the paint on there two times. So we'll get started in just a minute. 6. Drawing The Chart Part 2 - Details: Yes. A color chart. Just going to double-check back with my tube that I made. Like I said, if you want to just trace this on your watercolor paper, that's fine. You can put it up to a window or use a light table or lightbox. And you can just trace it. I have all of my squares or rectangles or whatever shape you ended up with, depending on your shaded. The straight edge, and use the same one, I'm going to end up. Okay? So I have this line that is missing. This line is important because it helps keep you from being, okay. I like to leave these spaces blank, right? The ones along the diagonal, because these particular squares are where the paint intersects with itself. So on this line, paint two intersects with paint two. So you get, hate to say this is cobalt teal and this is cobalt teal and they come together here. Guess what? It's Cobalt Teal and it's not really a color mix. Now you can do whatever you want with these squares. You can make a gradient here if you want or do something like that. But for the purposes of making this chart more useful, I like to leave them blank. I'm going to put this diagonal line because it's a reminder that this is where the paint same color intersects. And it gives me these two areas in which to do my mixes so that I can do light mixes and dark mixes or some other kind of interesting combination. Okay, so there we go. That let me put in this line and then we're going to keep on milk. And all you do to put this line in is you take your straight edge. Take your straight edge and you put it on this intersection. You put it on this intersection. And voila, you have your diagonal line right through the center. Should have taken a weight off my wife are first, but I didn't. So now I have to load it back up again. Thank you for your patience. Your awesome. I'm leaving. I'm not going to put it in this square, just these that are going to be in the chart. Right? There. There we go. That's perfect. Now we know that everywhere we have this line, it's blank. That square is blank. Now we know. It's easy reminder. Let's just go ahead and put our title now. You can make a really fancy title for yours if you want to, but I'm just going to keep it simple. And I'm going to put shades of summer. I am going to try and use neat handwriting. Some of you probably know that my handwriting is not the best. I have to slow down to do it. Shades of summer. And then I put real small up here. Right? Now, it's C. I add all this room at the bottom. I could have left more room at the top and all of that, but it's working just fine. I may put a line on that bottom of that box pen because I think it will look better and I want my chart to be appealing and nice. And like I said, you can make them really fancy if you will, to fight. I like to keep things simple. So that's what I'm going to do. And brown shades of summer, I guess I'll put it here because it is a set. You can buy it as a set. And also you may have gotten the dark parts for me. So that's pretty awesome. 7. Painting the Pure Color Swatches: Yes. A color chart? I'm all set. I have my paints ready. I have my paper. I hadn't lined up on this side here. I can turn it and have them lined up on the top. What works for you? And I have them in rainbow order, even though I don't have all the rainbow colors, they are in rainbow order. And I have brushes to choose from. Now, normally, when I'm painting a painting, I try and say, use a bigger brush because it will help you be more loose. But in this case, I want to use one holds less water because it's going to be easy to manage in my squares. I have a smaller version. I have this number ten, Princeton, Neptune. I can use this, but this holds more water than my Da Vinci cosmic topspin paint brushes. So I'm not going to use the Neptune has lots of water and I don't need as much. But then I have these three. These are called The Vinci cosmic topspin. They're great brushes there. If you're used to the Princeton Neptune, which I use a lot, these have a little bit more snap to them. They're a little bit more springy, a little bit more firm, and they don't hold as much water. So they're great for making this flowchart. Now if you want to make, you could use a flat brush or this is sort of a hybrid, kind of a I don't know what it's called. I don't know what the shape is called. It's it's almost around, but it's also flat. And then this one is around. So I think actually I'll just use this one because it seems like it will work, but I can always switch later if I need to. Okay, so let's refer back to our chart. And let's see, we're gonna put paint one here and paint one here. Paint one and paint one. Hate to, and paint two. And we're going to do it in that order. So that way we're only touching the color wants and we're going to do the top and the sides, all in the same group. So let's do that now. I have my two jars of water. Two chars. Want to keep my brush nice and clean in-between colors, because I want is pure color in the middle as I, as I can get. If you want to, usually I write the names of the paints afterward. But if you want to, if it'll help you, you can write the names of the paints in the boxes. Before. I will start with the pink one, which is my pyrrole red. And I'm just going to get a pretty strong, not much water, pretty strong. And I'll just put it here so you can see, there we go. I've got my scarlet payroll all ready to go. I have enough to do these two squares and I can add a little bit of water as I go, I want. So I'll just start here. And I'm not worried about going all the way straight to the lines. In fact, it might be better if you don't, Just because you're going to not run the risk of touching the paints together when they're wet. So I'll add a little water to my brush so I can get a little movement, tap it off on my cloth. I do have this microfiber cloth which is very sorbent. Then I can get a little bit of colorful colored float out nicely. And it not really demonstrating that in this particular exercise, but it's fine. I'm already having fun. Okay, next, wash your brush in your first jar of water. Wipe it off. Watch it again in that same first DR. a. Water wipe it off and then go to your jar. They sister dirty jar and Mrs. your clean dirty. And what you wanna do is keep most of the paint that just coming off your brush in the dirty jar and as little as possible in the clean, a clean your brush really well in the dirty jar first. So that'll help you keep your paint colors. Sure. Because in this particular spot, that's what we're doing on this section of the color chart. Pure colors. The pure color. So this is the bismuth yellow? Yes, bismuth yellow. It's a very, to me that's a really neutral economy. Yellows, not too much, a little warm, not too much on the cool, but of course all the warm, cool idea, That's all. It's all relative. So painting in my squares, not going to the edge. I don't want to touch the other color and have them run together. In this case, it keeps painting, I would love that. But making this chart, not so much. I'm gonna get some water and I want it to be clean water to my brush really well. And clean my brush here. Tap off. I don't want that much water. Some. Okay, So now I think you can see the pattern. You same color, same color, same colors and color. I'll do one more. Maybe do more. I'm going to do them all, but I might do more in regular time. What do you think? Should I do them in regular time? Okay. This is permanent. Rain, hail or mint green pale. This one. Some very yellowy green, isn't it? Might call it a warm green. Again, I want to get a strong colors I can lean and a lot of words that town, I don't want that much water, so I'll just take you over here. I dried my brush so that will be thirsty and pick up that water. So sap green. Now, you can get very sciency with your watercolors. And you can write down what pigments they are and how opaque or semi-opaque are opaque and all that stuff. You can do that on these charts. But I'm just keeping it simple this time. My brush really, really clean and then trying to get as much pure thickness, I can dry that off because last time I didn't do a very good. And here we go. Kinda gives us a range of how it looks. Also tells us how much the color will move. But you may look at this. It's got to bloom because that color just didn't flow into the water very much right there, but it did flow there. I don't know why. Well, actually, I do know why. It has to do with how much water was already in the paint on them on there, like the evenness of the water. But the different, That's a different class, different lesson. Alright, so now we're on to my beautiful favorite Cobalt Teal. There we go Again, we want that deep as deep of mixtures we can get. While it's still has water. Yes, I dipped into my clean water. That's because I knew I didn't have enough water on my brush and I'm just going to absorb the water. It did get my did get some blue in my water bill because I'm I'm almost finished. And I only have this polar left, right? Okay, so Cobalt Teal, as I said before, be as careful as you want. You can go all the way to the lines if you like doing it that way. I just like to keep it relaxed and fun. And it's just to me better that way. But that's me. Know, if you want to be very precise, please feel free to do so. I have a feeling if you're watching my classes, maybe more interested in loose watercolor anyway. Okay, so I have all of my colors. I have scarlet, pyrrole, bismuth, yellow, permanent green, pale, sap green, and cobalt teal. Now, now the real fun begins because we're gonna get to see how these colors work in mixed together and has soap. So fun. 8. Our Approach To This Chart: Hello. I'm all set up down to fill in my squares. And let's refer back to our chart. And I'll tell you a little bit about what I'm going to do. Now. I have decided that I want to put dark mixes on the bottom and light mixes on the top of this diagonal line. That's just because it tells me a range of values that I want. Now, these may not be super light, they may not all be the same lightness or the same darkness. I don't really care about that personally. But I want to make these strong and these less strong. That's the main thing I'm doing for this particular chart. So this Park will be dark, this part will be lighter. But the colors, I mean, you'll be using some of the same colors in opposite squares. So it's like this mirror image here. So for example, Paint 3D and paint two goes here. This will make more sense when we put the colors in there. So I'm going to explain it, but I just wanted to give you an overview of what we're doing. So Paint 3D Paint Tool go here and paint and paint two will go here. I'll use a dark one in this space and a light one in this space. And we'll have this diagonal mirror image of the colors. So paint five and paint one will go here. And paid five and paint one will go here. So if you folded it, these this color and this color, they're the same color, but they're different lightness and darkness. Only difference is how much water they have in it. That's the only change we're going to make in this particular chart. Now there are other ways you can do it. But this is where this is the most basic way. I think. That's why I'm presenting to you this way. So there you go. These will go together. These will go together. So it's a diagonal Flip. Let more water, less water, okay. 9. Painting The Mixes with Scarlet Pyrrol: Yes, a color chart. The first color we use, we're going to use scarlet apparel. And I already have puddles, right? But I actually need, I'm going to mix this with 1234 other color. That means I need a color or a spot on here that I can mix with the yellow spot. I can mix the green spot, I can mix with the sap green and spot I can mix with it. So I need 1234 areas of the sporangia and it's easier and you do like lists changing around if you just start that way. So I have one right here. It's a strong one. I want strong ones because I want to do the darks. And then I'll add water to do the lights, but I'll do at the same time. I'll show you. Don't worry, you've got this, don't worry. You can do it. Alright? So we need one for each of these colors on 1234. And you can see they're strong mixes. They don't have a lot of order infected. Not even moving, right? Not even moving. It's okay. Alright, and I'm going to clean my brush really well. And in fact, if you wanted to, you could have separate brushes. They have one brush for each color. Am I gonna do? I'm just going to clean my brushes in-between. Right? But especially for the yellow, you know, you need a clean brush, okay, so I'll mix the yellow with this. Piracy is put together. Here's my yellow. I'm kind of trying to get equal. Strings. Somewhere in the middle is what I'm going for. Now, you may have to add more or less yellow, more or less of the warrant, the scarlet chiral. It's up to you. I need a little more water. I'll dip in and get a little bit more wine. Get that, Pete. I like this color. It's a nice like pumpkin, orange. If you want to call it that. And it's going to go where the orange, I'm calling this orange bit scarlet parallel or the scarlet Powell meets the business yellow. And it's called Carl meets the visits yellow. This is my dark mix. So I'm going to put it on the bottom of my chart. That's all I did. You go and you have a nice little swatch of color that you mixed from these two colors. Now, I just need to add some water. They have options here. If you want to keep your water really clean, just going to drop her. That way you don't put your paint brush in the water too often. Okay. And then you can see it's moving more. I just want to put like Tableau drops those two more. So it's going to be probably quite a bit lighter. So you see it moves a lot more. This is a great way to learn also about the viscosity of your watercolor because see, the port wasn't moving at all, right. These are even derive dry already. Okay, so that is quite a bit lighter. I'm just going to go orange and yellow for simplified reasons. And now that's much more transparent. Say that's another thing we can see. How much transparency are we getting? I'm going to just do like I did these swatches in this top area, and I only have those two colors right now, so I'll have to worry about that water too much. So now I can see I have the exact same color mix, right? I didn't add any more pigment. I didn't add any more paint. I only added water. And now we can see the difference, right? Alright, so that's business, yellow plus girl power. Well, let's go to the next color. Now we can guess, we can try and guess what we're going to get. We're going to mix the scarlet power rule with this permanent green pale. And I think it'll be a brown color, but I'm honestly not sure because I haven't used these colors before, so I'm honestly not sure what this plus this will be. So let's just find out. Pick up that green. I have some here so I can just use it. I'm gonna get a nice thick consistency there. And yeah, it's gonna be you at Brown. Okay. But is a warm brown. So the question is, do I want to add in more and scarlet pyro or more of the green to see what happens. I didn't want to add in more than clean because I feel like the Scarlet Powell is a stronger strength pigments. I'm going to clean my brush really well. Have two off some of that excess water. Yeah. It's a real strange color. Well, it's a very earthy color actually. So now you can see I have more green than I have pyrrole. I'm going to mess up my little puddle here. I don't need it for anything really, so I'll just add a little bit more. Okay, I have a very strong color or not. I think I have very strong emotions about this color, but that's not the point, right? It's a brown. It's, it can be a brown when you mix those two together. And that's kinda what I expected because of just kinda where they are on the color wheel. You're going to get a neutral could be grey, could be brown. So let's just put that they're not sure how I feel about that. Well, I don't I am sure how I feel about this color. I do not like there could be uses for it though. I mean, what could you use it in a sunflower, maybe. You might be able to do so. Okay, let me add some water. And then we might like it better when it is more transparent than that's pretty deep, dark. So this is this and green. So now we need to go to Scarlet power rule, angering. Remember it's a mirror image in the diagonal. Let me not turned on by this book. Like a Ms. Keller, I feel like I'm doing something wrong because I don't like this color so much. Okay. Who knows where to find something? Also weight. Okay. So let me stop and think. This snail looks like a raw sienna. Now that I have thinned it, it looks like raw sienna, which is a very useful color. So if you're thinking about summer and summer vibes, well, this can be wet sand or a rock or something that is a rich brown. It is a very rich brown. Yeah. So anyway, I'm liking it better. If I first gut reaction was like, but I'm liking it better now. Okay, so let's continue. We're doing our pyro, scarlet pyro mixes. Okay. What color is next? Sap green. This is a yellowy green. This is just, I don't know, it's a deeper darker, it's a little blue or green and then the permanent green light. So I just, you know, I think actually I like the mix better. I'll get this strong mix I have here already and mix it in there. That's a reddish brown. Let me stick with that. Here. It's pretty strong, pretty strong mix. There we go. Then I'm just going to add some water. Again. You can dip your brush in this pretty small puddle of paint. So I didn't add a Twitter, scarlet payroll, and greens. So you have to stop and think, where does my color go? If you're doing this way? So we're going to spring. It's not bad. I think this could be like a coral color, a little bit more of the orange in it. So again, you get lots of ideas when you're doing this, like add a little more of the Scarlet, scarlet pyrrole to this green. What would I get? It? You get your creative juices flowing by doing this exercise. Okay, Next is spiral apparel and Cobalt, Teal. What can you guess? We'll come out of a an orange or bright orange and a blue-green. I don't know. Let's find out. Make sure my brush is really clean. Me use this puddle right here because I already have it. It sit right in. Again, we have a red, yellow, blue, red, and yellow. This is blue and yellow, red, yellow and blue mixed together. So we're going to get a neutral feel like I need more of both colors. So let me do that. Being my brush again, pick up some paint from the year. Well, I think he could do a whole color chart of this mixed between these two because look how interesting. It's like a slate gray, blue-gray. If I get some more scarlet firewall that we're getting. Interesting, trying really hard not to contaminate my fillers with each other. Maybe the hardest part of doing this. So it goes from like this. I don't know this. I can't even describe it anyway. This is sort of, it's definitely a great That is definitely very interesting, very interesting. Gray, if you ask me, will look at that. I think that's gorgeous. Okay. Um, and then do, oops, I have to add water. We add water. Now, this cobalt teal is granulating. So also think you'd get some interesting effects from the granulation. Okay, So this, this and this. So there you go. So thank you may get some color separation. You're gonna get some granulation. Really, really interesting. Just clean my brush. And to me it's super interesting. It's a super interesting color, color mix. We go. Okay, so now you can see I've done one color with all the other colors. And one has less water and one has more water and I have here and here. So that's the way it works. It's like an L shape right? From inside to add upside down hill. How about we call upside down L? Right? It's sort of like an L-shape and it reflects across this diagonal line. Okay, I'm going to continue. 10. Important! Clean Your Palette: Okay, an important key before we go on to the next color used to clean up our palette, because we have all of these color mixes there to call it, there are two of our colors already mixed together. So all I'm going to do is take some tissue, just going to wipe it out with my water. So I didn't get that. No, not really. It comes right up right off the reddish. Why am I leaving that one? I don't know. I don't want to leave it actually. I want to just two colors for every one of these squares. So it's important to clean your palette in between all that paint on there. Okay, There we go. 11. Painting The Mixes with Bismuth Yellow: A color chart. I did go and change my water route in-between. I know that's completely necessary, but I'm just trying to be like extra extra cautious. Yeah. You don't have to necessarily do that. You just need to for sure they'll have the two jars of water, the dirty in the clique. Okay, so now we're going to do the yellow with all the other colors, but we've already mixed the yellow with the scarlet pyrrole, right? So we don't need to do this color. And we don't need to do yellow and yellow. We're leaving that blank, remember? So we're going to do yellow and green. Yellow. We don't need that one in green. That's the color we're doing right there. We need three puddles of yellow, 1231 for each color. Alright, so here we go. I'll make my puddles. Well, I'm put it in the wrong spot. It's easier if you put it next to the color you're going to take from, again, I'm making these nice and thick. I mean, they do need to have some water and I don't want them to touch each other. Yeah. There we go, one from each color. Now I'm not even going to use these anymore and I could have clean them up but I didn't. But I'm not using them because they are contaminated with them. They're contaminated with scarlet pyrrole. So I don't want to use these pedals are there on my palette. So I need low and permanent green light. So I'll go here and get, you know, not too much water on my brush. I tried to tap it off, clean it off a little, get a thick mixture and go into that yellow. Now, there's something about color strength that you've learned when you're doing these charts. Because now we have the screen and this yellow, and they're actually, they could be pretty equal in color string. So May 1 not overpower the other, but this scarlet pyrrole overpowers this yellow takes a lot of yellow to change the scarlet pyrrole, but it's not going to take much green, the green and yellow kind of equal. But like these darker colors, It's good to take a lot of yellow or a tiny bit of the darker colors to do our mixes. So there's something to keep in mind. So let's mix that. So say I have nearly enough yellow because I actually had just too much green because it completely took over. It looks almost like the original clean my brush really well, this is just something to be aware of. It. It doesn't hurt anything. You're not gonna have any problem here, this part of the process, right? Part of the process. So it's part of warning about your paints. You're learning more and more about your pants as you do this, but just exciting because then when you use them, you can go off your intuition. You can go off your gut because you already know. Or you can also look back and go, Whoa, what wellbeing great color for this project that I'm working on. And you can see, yeah, okay, so I need more yellow because that green totally took over. I use too much green. So I've got some thick yellow. Alright, now we have a pretty good mix. I think that's a pretty good base because this is a this is a yellowy green and this is a yellow. So we've gotten a lot of yellow. I think that's a pretty good mix there. So let's do that for our dark yellow. There we go. That's like lime lime green right there. I think. Yep. Okay. Then we'll add a little wider couple of job loss, but one job, I have a lot of paint on my brush. I couldn't use a smaller brush. Pests like using this, this is fun. It's working. It's working great for me. It doesn't have too much water. It's not making a lot of blooms and stuff in the paint, like there's not puddles. I didn't want petals for making this chart. Okay, so green, yellow, and green right here, the light color. So again, in referencing color string, you can see that there's not a whole lot of difference in these two colors as far as like strings, they're like rural similar in a way. That's because this doesn't have a whole lot of coercion. That's kinda separate class, I guess poets shrink, but it's just something that you learn. You're learning about your paints. And you don't have to necessarily think of it in terms of color Street. But it's just, you can think of this is not, this is not going to change a lot. Adding more water to it, it changes some but not a lot, right? You can just think of it that way. Just know these things. So then when you paint, you'd be like golden, you're guilty. You paint something other than chart. Okay. So next, we need What Tell her we doing yellow. Yellow, sap green. Now, the sap green is very strong compared to the yellow. So we know we don't need much. I'm just going to tap the tip of my brush in there. Get a little more. It's pretty good, I think. Otherwise it's just going to be very, very much that sap green color. So I think I'll go with this and we'll just see what kind of different kind of yellowy green we're getting with this mix instead of the green and yellow. Green and yellow. Some water. Then this yellow. You don't have to do that every time it just helps me. You can just go oh, I went there last time I go to the next when their last time I'll go next. You can do that if you want to. Okay, so there's a difference in these. Just gonna do this for fun, fun, fun, fun piece paper. Here's a random piece paper. Still kinda pretty much the same color. Just slightly darker. That green is just really strong, so the yellow doesn't have much effect on him. That's that's kind of the way I feel about it anyway. Okay. So we have one wrong color to mix with our yellow and that is our cobalt TO little bit of that again, are yellow. Does it do a lot tinting strength? I'm not mixing and all that yellow because look at that. That's a very interesting. Even though it didn't have a lot of water in there, it's still a very light color and very transparent. So that's pretty interesting. I don't want her drop. Maybe I'll add a couple of water drops because my brush absorbed the water. Vestibule light. I like that. It's really interesting. So I just want to see, oops, I went into the R-square little bit, sets a really light mix. Let me see what happens and then just go a little bit more. There. Again, I'll do this. Watch here. See it's about the same color, but it's a little darker. So that's just shows that the yellow is not a super impactful. It does make a difference, but does that make a huge difference in the darker colors? That's why you can pick yellow first and then go over it. And you'll have a sort of a glow. But it won't affect the other tours that much as far as like their color are. Right. Okay. So next we've done all those next, it's time to clean up clean up this folks right now. 12. Painting The Mixes with Remaining Colors: Sarah, next color? Permanent green, pale. Okay. And we only have two other colors to mix it with, so we just need to puddles of permanent green pale, which is this one. So we need one big number changes. So you can see as you go, it gets faster and faster. Do the chart at the beginning. It's more because you have more mixes to do, but you've already mixed some of them, so then you have less and less to do. So you only have these two instead of three secrets, smaller as you go. So it actually doesn't take too long. Now it's taking me a while because I'm doing a lot of explaining and also reacting. Because I love them. I love the pain. Okay, So I need to mix this green. Nothing goes here because that's where the green is intersect with this green. Let's find out what happens. It's a mystery. Now, this one is super dark value wise. This one is in the middle value wise. And as far as color string, this one is stronger than the permanent green, so you may get a different color, but this is taking over. I use too much of the sap green. It's easy to fix that thing and you just clean your brush really well, no problem. And get more of the color that you're lacking. In this case, the permanent green light. Alright, so somewhere in there, That's kinda, that's kind of a good mix of those two. It's kind of in the middle somewhere, so I'll go with that. It goes here, the dark version goes here. The reason I'm putting the dark versions at the bottom is because that's the way the dark versions they have the weight. I wanted to get some more dark green. You're going to be darker because I was talking about darker. Okay. So that's why I put the darks of the bone. It looks visually more appealing. It doesn't feel like heavy at the top and the bottom. So anyway, that's just a composition tip for you. All right. It's more water. Maybe even a little more water. Got a puddle noun. Oh yeah. There we go. And then that one is going to go here and here, here, here, and here. Reminds me of the periodic table. I don't know why, Because you don't do that in periodic table, but it does have rows and columns of things. I don't know, I'm not a scientist. I'm an artist. Look at that as a nice, that's a nice neutral light green. Like. Look how much darker this one is. This one. This ones with the yellow. This one is with the two greens together. So far with this particular set, we have a lot of greens to choose from looking at all these greens. It's a lot of greens, but that is kinda be expected because we have these greens, right? So you know, that's going to happen. Alright, so now we're going to be the Cobalt Teal. There. Yeah, that's my puddle. This is a little stronger but not much. So I'm getting like a puppy, like almost a neon neon green here. I'm gonna go with that home. I could add more or less of either color. Right? It's like a Kelly green, I think. I don't have much water in my brush shape there, so it's kind of dry going on there. That's okay. Let's add some water to my brush can absorb water. Second, three drops. Now, get a nice light mix. And where does it go? We have our we have our permanent green light right here with cobalt teal area. Now, I'll go back at the end and talk about these color mixes after they're dry. So you can get an idea of what I think about when I'm looking at them yet. So hopefully that'll be helpful to you, but that's going to be later. Okay. So we have our two mixes, That's it. We only needed to puddles. We did here. We did our mix. Ands are getting all. Here, right? So we have here where they meet. And so it gets a little bit more confusing in a way, but in your space gets smaller. So here you can see that's a Kelly, Kelly green. I'm looking at these colors on my goal. I'm seeing some interesting things happen. Like I said, I'll talk about that later. Alright, So I don't really need to clean up these petals because I have this next color to do, which is sap green. This is empty with cobalt teal. Alright, that's the only color I have left because this is an empty square, this md square. So we just have this, this color, these two Sap Green, Cobalt Teal. So I'll just make a puddle or Saverin only need one. Notice we had fewer petals as we went. Nice strong puddle. I'm calling it a puddle, but I'm not really putting a lot of water. And then I'll just get a strong with this to mostly what happens a little bit more. Now I'm contaminating these, I'm not worried it's my last mix so I can have more freedom. I think I was just painting. I wouldn't worry about getting colors in these except maybe the yellow I would try and keep. Otherwise I wouldn't care. Okay, so dark mix right here. That's like a sea green kinda cover. I'll see if I put more of a not supposed to be doing that. But anyway, I did it a bit more of the blue on this part. So you can vary these a little bit with this way I was choosing to do and he got off track a little because I'm not good at Falling. Water. More water. We go. I really hope you're having fun. I'm having fun. So I hope actually you'll just turn this video on and then play it and do your color swatches. Pause it as you need to do your color swatch, turn it back on, we'll talk about it just fine. Okay, so this is the watery mix of the same Sap Green, Cobalt Teal, both strong colors, although the sap green is very strong on this palette, There's a very strong color in this palette of colors. That, and I'll do a little bit more water at the bottom. Because I want to see how the lighter version guess why. Our official color chart is telling our official color chart is done. It's Isn't that awesome? Look at the color mix. This you get. Now these are not the only color mixes you can get, right? Because these are kind of an even mixture in a way. I tried to get it like halfway between when I was doing these, she could do all kinds of color mixes. So this is just one example. I'm super happy just looking at just the colors. Just make me happy. I hope they make you happy too. So I am looking forward to seeing your color charts. It's gonna be amazing. I really hope you'll share them with me, but please share them in the discussion section or whether you share them on Instagram with me, just tag me, discuss and there's art can be bad. It was. 13. Playtime - Painting Color Bars: So now that our official color chart is done, Let's pile and we've got place-based over here, which is one reason why many bigger piece of paper because I thought it would be fun. So one thing I'm going to do to play is going to take this color. I'm going to start with it. Then I'm going to add all the colors as I go. I'm not going to worry about keeping my palette nice and pristine like I've been doing while making the chart. I needed to do that for the chart at don t have to do it anymore. If you wanna do it. If you want to keep your palette clean. Mile means we want to keep the colors very point by all means, do that. But I'm not concerned about it. So I just wanted to play let loose and have fun. I'm gonna do that here in this section. Alright, here we go. I'm going to start with this scarlet power rule, and I'm just going to go straight from here, add a little water and get it go in because that's fun. My brush really well, get the yellow more water to it. So let me just do that. See now have it moving a little bit and I'm just gonna go right in there. Then pick it up now a little bit more. Now I may not get all these colors because, you know, but I might not know. Let's find out. Once I find out, I'll look back, rain, push that yellow back. Did you see that? Did you see that happen? Maybe I can replay it. Next is the sap green. Last but not least, my favorite. Okay, that'll look, we have such a fun little array of colors. Now you can do that same thing again. You could start with your yellow and then add all of these colors in. But we kind of have that here already. So you could just make some notes here. You can do some other color plays. You can say, well, I really want to see what happens if I progressed from yellow to say, cobalt teal. So we can just do that. This is going to be yellow to cobalt teal with none of the other colors. You can do whatever colors you want. But I think it's just gonna be very interesting to see. So that's the one I picked. You pick the colors you want. Try not to go over the lines because then you'll get into the next section. Now I'm adding more water. I started with a strong yellow mix, adding more water. This is bismuth yellow. I'm going do the same with the cobalt turquoise. And sometimes you might want to turn your paper. I'm going to turn my paper in this case just because it's easier. Hello, more water by dependent on dipped in the clean because it's really, really dirty and I don't want to get all that green in there. And this brush is thirsty, so it's not going to release a lot of pigment into that water. It's going to pick up the water and drink it up instead it's thirsty. All right, now, might use gravity to move that around a little bit. Keep in mind this is going to move to, because it's still wet. We could do some mixed in our palette. And this is why you can do with this, just playing with it and go back in. This is all still wet. So I'm doing a little mixing with my brush there in the middle. You can use gravity. You can do however you like. Remember however you want. There you go. So that's a really, really interesting. I think that's really interesting when it's dry, it's gonna be really, really pretty to look at. Okay. Got a few more spaces out if I want to fill them all up right now, I may want to leave some room to experiment with them. But I'm looking at my chart. I'm going, well, what is a really interesting color mix over here? Something that I'm seeing that's happening on my chart that I find compelling and interesting. And really there are some very interesting ones. But this is a very unique kind of thing going on. It's got some color separation, It's got granulation in there. So I think a transition between these colors would be cosine. So let's do that. I'll start with cobalt tail because I already had that going. I'm just going to find, or do I want to start on this? Now? Now it comes to like, Oh, do I wanted to match or do I want to do something different? And I think I wanted to match. So I'm going to turn this around. So starting with the cobalt teal. But that's a nice, really thick mixture. Now, not being perfect because I am far from perfect. I'm not a perfect painter. I don't want to be a perfect pain. Can be a loose teacher. It's just being, you want to be a perfect painter. O means precisely fill in the lines if that's what you enjoy, that's what matters. Okay. So we got that Cobalt Teal, it's nice and juicy there. And let's get the scarlet firewall. Now want it to move. So I'm going to make sure I have it. I'm putting on my palette and I make sure that it's moving here, that I have enough water that's actually moving. Some of the mixes before remember, they were not moving, they were just seeing him. They had some water but not enough to move. So I think that'll work. Then we're going to start here. Quite strong color. And I'm just gonna go straight into my cobalt teal. Just let it trickle in there. No, I'm not trying to find out who is more bossy in this case. I'm just trying to see what they do when they mix together and use a little gravity in my favor here. Look at that. This is gorgeous thing is a gorgeous gray. Like it's almost a purple, which kind of surprised me. I think that might be the most surprising color in this set. Okay, so that's just a fun thing you can do. You can look at your chart and I want to see more of these two colors together. Say I want to see this one and this one together. How, how will they go together if I wanted to paint a tree? And I use these two colors, like, what range would I get kind of thing. So you can do that also really interesting color. There's so many interesting colors. I'm excited. I'm so glad you guys choose this. But the other, the other said it's nice to you, but I'm having fun playing with these. These are just really rich colors. And here are quite summary. So I think the name is appropriate. 14. Thoughts On The Colors: My thoughts on color mixes for this chart. And I'm just going to keep this short and sweet, I think. So. I love the colors. They definitely say summer to me. I see some white coral kind of potential. Some purple, purple me crazy, that I didn't expect. That's the thing about making these contracts. Sometimes you get things that you didn't expect in their wonderful, It's sometimes you get things that you didn't expect and you're like, I don't know about that. But it's still could be useful. So that's the thing you might let her go. Oh, I know exactly where to use that color. I remember it, so that's just helpful. When I do notice about this palette is very heavy on the greens, like this whole session. Green of some sort. So it's very heavy on the greens. So if you want to paint green something greens, you can. Now, I could have possibly made a stronger mix between the greens and the Cobalt Teal, adding more cobalts and make it a more green color, right? So that's a possibility that I could do and I could still do that over here if I wanted to. Just say, Well, how, how what what range of color for blue? Because this is your only blue, is this cobalt teal blue brain. It's the only blue you have. What range of blues can get. If I mix it, say, with, with one of these greens, wait, and with even with a yellow, right? So there are options there. If I was trying to go from blues, I would pick one of these greens to mix it over and make a bar of color. What kind of green? I think this one is pretty interesting. So I would choose these two. They are equal or close to equal in strength. So I might choose these two to make a bar over here, something like that. Just to get an idea of the color mixes. I think they're really pretty, you can tell that this is fairly opaque because everything we mixed it with. You can't see through as much. Now it's not so opaque that you can't a, can't get that light bouncing back, but it is somewhat opaque. If you looked it up on their website, on M Graham's website, you might be able to find more information about the opacity of the colors, but this one is probably the most opaque that we have. These sort of semi-opaque if they're really strong, but they, they, they all get transparent. Much more transparent the more water you add, obviously, but, but definitely more opaque. So that's something else that you can learn from your chart. I noticed some certain things, like you can see some granulation and some separation of colors. For example, if you can see those little specks in there, those little tiny specks, That's the Cobalt Teal granulating and this color and you can see it this color as well right in there and see, see that how granular sites and separates this separates from that bismuth, sorry, from that Scarlett, Scarlett pyrrole. So very interesting to see that. You can see it here as well. See those specs of blue in that colour. That's just love it. I don't see that kind of granulation in the other colors. So I think mainly it's this cobalt teal, the granular sites, which is one of the reasons why I love this color. As far as color separation, I see some cool separation here. I see a little bit here. I'm here, and a little bit here. Well, a little bit here. I can see it in this with a yellow, nicely the colors. So you can see it has this kind of yellow edge on it so that yellow is separated from the other color. It's not like a smooth mixed light, so this is very smooth, right? There's no, there's no evidence of two colors in there. It just a spoof bits, but this one you can see it's more than one color mix together. I think that's true for all the Cobalt Teal. And it probably has to do with the granulation and the properties of this particular paint because you don't really see that in the other cell. Anyway, just another thing that you can learn. Now what you can do, you can take this information, you got it, you know it. And you can refer back to it when you use these paints. And you can also just, you know, it. So like you can take a pick at before you paint. Just look at the colors, enjoy the colors. And in doing that, you're going to sort of get your visual memory going. Then when you paint, those colors are going to come out into that painting. 15. Bonus - Another Way To Paint A Color Chart: Yes, a color chart. You're going to make another color chart. But we're gonna do the colors a little differently. In the bottom part, I'm going to do charging in and the top part, I'll do wet in wet and let it mix on the paper. And I'm just going to speed through that process. We've chosen to use three different brushes to make this process quicker. One for each of the two colors and one for the water. In the top section will do when wet, which means we're going to put water, clear water on the paper first. I'll use the mid sized brush to get the first pure color. On the bottom section of our chart, we're going to do charging in which means we're going to paint a square with color. Then take the second color, which in this case is the yellow, and dotted into the orange. So we'll have the pure color and then we'll charge in a second color to create our swatch. Once we have the two paints on the brushes, then we can go back to the top section where we're doing the wet and wet. And we'll just drop in each color. So we'll drop in, in this case, the yellow and the orange into the water. This approach to making the color chart is going to give us even another idea of how our colors work together. So now we'll be able to see if we do these techniques on our painting. How will the colors react to one another? Once your two squares are done, then you'll need to move to the next colors in the chart. But the beauty of having separate paint brushes is that you can keep one of the colors loaded in your brush and then you can just switch out the other. So in this case we'll keep the orange loaded in the brush. We didn't need to clean that brush. And we can just clean the yellow and switch that yellow to the permanent green light. And then we'll do our charging in technique. Once we've done the charging and technique, we'll do our wet and wet technique and the top part of the chart. So in this way we will complete the entire chart, will switch from color to color and move through the chart. Doing are charging in on the bottom section and our wet and wet technique in the top section. And when you're finished, you're going to have a lovely chart. It looks completely different from your first chart because you did different techniques. So now that, that colored part is done, Here's another way that you can play in that extra space you may have. I'm going to do some three color mixes. I'm going to use the wet and wet technique and drop colors in just like we did before on our chart, except this time I'll use three different colors. You see that's one thing that our chart doesn't show. It does not show us what happens when we mix three colors together. In this way, I'm going to play around a little bit, have some fun, and see what happens when I put my colors in this wet in wet technique. In the second place space, I want to see how well these colors play together. Size started on dry paper. I put down our bismuth yellow, I put down or scroll at Pi role in our car, Cobalt Teal. And let's just see what happens. I noticed that that orange is pretty bossy over that yellow but not so much over that cobalt teal. I'll just continue playing like this and seeing how the colors work together, move together. Which ones are a little more bossy than others, and how they interact with each other. And just finish out this play space on my paper. For you. You can make the choices you want to make here. See what appeals to you. What do you want to experiment with? I tried first I try a wet and wet and then I tried starting with yellow, then I started with a cobalt teal, and then the next I started with the orange. And I use all the same colors in different ways and just to see what the results were. But you could try something different. So you just have a play, have some fun, and just explore your pains and watch them and see what's happening on the paper. And also check them out when they're dry and see what you think and see how they look. And just enjoy the process of painting. That is the best part because if you don't enjoy painting, you're really not gonna do it. You're probably not gonna do it. The point of painting is to relax and have fun and enjoy it. And yeah, so have a play, Give it a go. Try this second way to make a color chart and do a little play some place circles and see how your colors interact with each other and have some fun. Okay, Thank you for watching and talk to you soon. Bye. 16. Bonus 2 - More Mixes: So I saw these mixes with this color, this Scarlett pyrrole, these mixes like this. And I'm just wondering what would happen if I flipped it and put the other color first and then charged in the scarlet parallel. Because I love like this kinda interesting, really interesting mix of colors. Like to me it reminds me of a coral reef or something. I don't know why, but that's what it does. So I'm gonna do a little quick flip of this and see how that looks. All right. 17. Project & Thank You!: Yes, a color chart. So for your project, I want you to make a color chart. Now, let me just say you don't have to use the colors I use. You don't have to use the pain settings. You don't have a use as many colors as I use. If this is intimidating or if it's a little bit too much for you, well, that's okay. Choose three colors and you'll have a chart that has the breeding. There'll be this big of a chart. Just three colors. You'll have three spaces and three spaces. You can do it that way. So if you want to start smaller, by all means, feel free to start small, but do a color chart, just give it a try. You might actually enjoy it. You might really love it. I was surprised to find out.
