colour mixing colour oil painting colour watercolours how to get a colour red blue and yellow Jul 31, 2022

When I began painting I was so terrified of colour, there seemed to be so many rules

I am going to make it easy for you

  • To easily understand colour first you need to see what colours you have in your tubes. Some brands do vary slightly in their colours
  • First, divide your colours into RED BLUE and YELLOW
  • Then place them in a tonal range
  • This gives you the extremes of each colour from the light one to the darkest of each colour.
  • Mix a white with the oil paints to get the light tone, with watercolour dilute with water
  • Label each colour for reference
