How To Mix Luminous Watercolors

In this class I will show you how to mix luminous watercolors by using practical examples and a limited color palette.

In fact, we’re going to use just 6 colors!

I will give you an overview of the most important characteristics of watercolor pigments that you should keep in mind when you buy and use watercolor paints

Next I will explain what a split primary system is and why it is so important for luminous color mixing.

I will explain color bias, which is probably the most important concept to learn to mix luminous colors but I will also show you why we get muddy colors and how to avoid them.

We will make a very special Color Wheel and Color Mixing Recipe Cards so you can start building a color recipe library that you can refer to times and times again.

I will show you how to use your color swatches to color match leaves and petals

And at the end we will dive into a fun project

I designed this class to take away the fear of color mixing and give you the skills and knowledge to be able to mix luminous colors anytime you want without the frustration of ending up with muddy colors.

This class is for beginner watercolor artists but you may find useful information even if you’ve been painting for a little while.

By the end of this class your color mixing skills will have been taken to a different level.
