water colour lesson part 2


hello everyone
here is part 2 in creating your own colour wheel in water colour paints
useing the colour wheel from part 1....... we move on
as you can see we have made more colours ...........just by mixing them together the combinations are endless
but you don't want to mix MUD. try to keep your colour fresh and clean.
you can do this with any  three basic colour to get different mixes
which ever you use save the pieces with the colour names you used as a reference point
yes you can buy a colour wheel ready done for you..... i like to do my own it helps me to control my own mixing .... i have read many books  brought lots of dvds on painting....... great way of learning........but there is nothing like trying for your self.
one thing i will add DONT beat your self up........ if you dont get it right first time ....... just treat it as a learning curve and try again  after all its a bit of paper and paint plus your time keep practicing.... believe me i have wasted lots of paper but had fun !!!!!!!!!! that is the most important  part.......
everyday you will learn something new ......... its great fun .............do try it.......... get mixing
