Color Mixing and Brushes for Beginners PLUS Sunset Painting Tutorial!
I have been asked about color theory a lot so today I am going to show you how to mix 3 colors to make many others. We will use:
Alizerin Crimson (or Quin. Magenta or any red that is not orangey)
Cadmuim Yellow (or new gamboge, basically and neutral yellow that is not greenish)
Ultramarine Blue

Don’t worry if your paint does not have these exact names, use your eyeballs to look at the paint and pick the closest ones to what i am using:)

Here is the picture I used as reference: http://paintmyphoto.ning.com/photo/bandouille-monastery-france?context=album&albumId=5204568%3AAlbum%3A811182
