making your own colour wheel.
get to know your paints and how they will work together ..........as you know. there are many colours out there . but having a limited pallet helps and does not mean you have to buy every colour .all will become clear in part 2............ here is a starting point useing just three colours .......... i have used
CADMIUM YELLOW
CADMIUM RED
COBOLT BLUE
mix up three puddles of the paints first on your mixing pallet this can be an old plate white is better to see the vibrancy of the colours..........draw around a shape i used a cotton bud container,anything will do ..........onto water colour paper.....paint in the shape
you can see i have noted which colours used .......... save this as a reference
go on give it a go ........... get to love your paints

Thanks so much Linda, I've just started dabbling with water colours so this will be a huge help to me.
