Ideally, you'd have an orange yellow and an orange red which will mix beautiful oranges.

I had expected to need to use a hansa lemon or other definite cool yellow rather than the hansa medium, since you get such bright greens in the U.K., but in fact I didn't need to change anything. The basic 'ultimate mixing palette' colours I have suggested in my website work the world over. The colour I used most in the U.K. was, perhaps not surprisingly, Jane's Grey :-)Jane Blundellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809568287344145772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881888600945229981.post-35355390443675032962017-02-12T05:22:14.081-08:002017-02-12T05:22:14.081-08:00Hi Jane, Just stumbled across your website - what ...Hi Jane, Just stumbled across your website - what a fantastic resource for those of us (me) stumbling around in the dark (well the muddy!)

Luckily, I had several of them and am so blown away by the mixes! While waiting for my first watercolor class to start, I got a mixing book by the School of Color and started making color mixes. Then, after class started, I was so busy trying to learn techniques that I drastically simplified my palette and forgot all about those mixing exercises. That was several years ago. On the plus side, this let me learn my standard colors and their abilities very well, but now it's time for me to branch out and you have helped open my eyes to some very intriguing possibilities.

I make a puddle of each colour and gradually add one to the other, adding a little water here and there to see the hues in full strength and in washed out tints. As long as you create 20 or 30 different hues you'll see a pretty good range! The charts on my website are done far more systematically, but in a way I think the more random ones are interesting as you see two hues next to each other that might be useful in a painting.Jane Blundellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809568287344145772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881888600945229981.post-88700560076409783912015-07-02T04:46:06.978-07:002015-07-02T04:46:06.978-07:00I love this posting of mixing colors.

It is so interesting what lovely and very different colors you can get from the mix of just two colors. What process did you use to do your mixing? I have trouble trying to get exact proportions when trying to create a chart like this. I would definitely like to see more!Barbara Laskeyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12961854886082017582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881888600945229981.post-60144781048520575882015-07-01T18:15:43.818-07:002015-07-01T18:15:43.818-07:00Thank you Tammie :-)Thank you Tammie :-)Jane Blundellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02809568287344145772noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4881888600945229981.post-43844640898606519402015-07-01T18:15:23.233-07:002015-07-01T18:15:23.233-07:00:-) Well Susie I have certainly spent many many ho...:-) Well Susie I have certainly spent many many hours doing just that and it is part of how I taught myself watercolour. I do some charts with great care and precision but I now do all the other colour experiments in sketchbooks rather than on rough paper so I keep them, as they do come in handy. It is very important to document them at the time, especially if using different brands, so you remember what you've done. It is also important to paint with them though. A great exercise is to just work with a mixing pair - burnt sienna and ultramarine or Phthalo Blue and an orange, or phthalo green and a crimson - and paint a little study. You'll be amazed at what you can do with just two colours.
