Over the years I’ve been asked to contribute articles for the PleinAir Today Newsletter. One of the articles I wrote dealt with mixing color, so I am honored that they chose to use it. I’m not particularly happy with the title they chose, Color Mixing for Beginners, because I’ve worked with many students that have been painting for years and still do not understand the basics of color or of color mixing. So, if you’re struggling with understanding color and how to mix it, I believe you’ll find this article very enlightening and useful. To read the PleinAir Today article, please click HERE.
This is an example of a color swatch and painting from my book, “Limited Palette, Unlimited Color”. The palette used for the swatch and painting is an Isosceles Triad, comprised of Yellow Green, Violet, and Red…created using Cadmium Yellow Pale, Ultramarine Blue, Alizarin Crimson, and Titanium White. This and much more is thoroughly explained in the book.
