The answer is: ABSOLUTELY...Great question, Rhonda. The answer is: ABSOLUTELY NOT. I just use my paints a lot and am so accustomed to them that I mix color intuitively. I strongly encourage you to try all kinds of primary trios and mix them this way. You will get very familiar with your colors and develop your own personal preferences and mixtures. It's not a recipe based thing. I never try to exactly duplicate a color, mostly because color mixing is so specific to each specific painting. On the other hand, I've developed my own go-to favorites, so they do tend to show up in my work over and over again.Jane Davieshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062718110759969682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041249677192613494.post-76202804007820676802017-08-26T08:01:33.896-04:002017-08-26T08:01:33.896-04:00Hi, Jane!

So, I'm wondering, do you keep your color wheel mixtures and label them, so when you are looking to mix a certain color, you can find the recipe? Do you have them all in a binder or something? Also, how do you choose WHICH primaries to put together? By eye and preference, or are there primary color families that work well together? Thanks!Rhonda HHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00482130853671285003noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041249677192613494.post-62571625882568303422017-08-23T19:27:05.372-04:002017-08-23T19:27:05.372-04:00Thank you for these videos.

Just because I don't like it on its own doesn't mean I don't use it, though. I do have a personal preference for intense, slightly orangey reds, like a good tomato red.

We all have our personal preferences, but I'm always interested to know why other artists react positively or negatively to certain pigments/hues.HLNhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08215860778799353339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1041249677192613494.post-68176428234622576522017-08-10T17:25:01.486-04:002017-08-10T17:25:01.486-04:00Love this video!
