How to mix a color in different ways
Expand your knowledge on how to mix a color.
There are many ways to mix the same color when you have many different pigments to choose from.
It is important to know the pros and cons for different mixes of the same color.
When painting stable and smooth transitions you must use the same pigments through the whole transition. In other cases you would like the colors to change when the light is changing and therefore you will use different pigments for colors that are close to each other.
Many times painters end up always using the same way to mix a color and it can be inspiring to be reminded of other ways to mix the same color.
