Keep your colour clean when mixing paint colours.
Discussing cleanliness, the ultimate outcome consistently yields vibrant, clean colours when mixing art paint.
In the realm of colour mixing, there's a wealth of information beyond what I can cover here.
Keep each colour mix limited to hues from your palette. The more diverse your palette's colours, the closer you approach 'Mud'— a murky result.
Clearly ask yourself, "Do I desire a hot or cold colour?" Failing to choose risks losing contrast and potentially creating a dull or muddy effect.
Opting for a cold colour? Exercise restraint with hot colour mixes. For a hot colour blend, minimise the addition of blues.
While exceptions exist, the 'Hot & Cold' decision proves crucial in achieving successful colour mixing.
Happy Mixing!
