Mixing Acrylic Paint Color Wheel

Posted on

Mixing Acrylic Paint Color Wheel – I have been granted permission to repost! Or should I call it a re-post? I have to admit that there is a secret side of me that wonders if anyone would ever see me if I re-posted from, say, 10 months ago. I know it’s a bit lazy, but sometimes my creative flow stops and I’m left sitting here twiddling my thumbs without writing anything.

However, today Seth from The Changed Page asked me to post one of my favorites for him

. He creates a series of art talks so that we can do a little digging and discover new and inspiring things. I know I need creative inspiration. I love a rainy day to catch up on all my thoughts.

Thanks Seth! There really isn’t enough time in the day to go through the cards. It’s the same point of connection for me. So if you’re looking for new gear, head over to Seth’s blog for some great inspiration.

Without further ado, I present you with a tutorial (of sorts). Check back next week for an art journal!

What a week! If I had known what he had in store for me last week, I might have upped the caffeine a bit.

There are some big changes happening in our home. All the planning so far, all the talking and dreaming, more than the action~ until last weekend~ I’m not sure what lit it up, but trust me when I say it lit up. The time has come. The next 6 months will be full of positive changes for us as a family.

How To Mix Colours When Painting In Acrylics

I won’t share too much information right now, but they have a lot of moving parts. Home Moving, Life Moving, Moving ~ 5 year plans available. Lots of balls in the air, now it’s just a matter of time and making sure they all fall in the right place.

My husband comes forward with all his balls in the air. I like mine organized, nice color-coded and all the same. The only thing we have in common is that we both love power and lots of it.

Today in my world my problem is counting. This is not a new problem, but I am slowly realizing that it needs to be solved. I have all the books, links, and information I need to become a colorist. Now it’s time to take down everything I’ve read and instead of throwing paint around, put it where it’s needed so my pictures can start to form.

But no, I’ve been told multiple times that I only need 12 colors ~ and black and white.

With that in mind, I decided to do an exercise to find out how many colors can be mixed with 12 colors, titanium white, titanium buff and black. This lesson was a little something I learned from Julie Pritchard. Check out her site for great online art lessons!

Take paints, brushes and palettes. I used 24 colors because I’m not very good at following patterns. I put my colors according to the color wheel, starting with yellow and clockwise to green, blue…etc.

Continue..complete the above exercise with all the colors. It takes time, but you will be very happy with the results!

THIS is before I even start mixing the colors…which I won’t do, but I’ll definitely think about it the next time I dig into my bag to buy another tube of green pressure cooker!

Have you ever been a little lost when thinking about what color to add to your painting, maybe stuck on what color to use for painting, or just wondering if the paint is clear/transparent enough?

Friends, that’s all I have to share today. Check back soon for more color details in the next few weeks. If you need more information, feel free to comment!

That’s enough for me. Oh wait, this blog is looking at me… maybe that’s the only thing that works for me. The rest of the time I’m kind of torn between life and family.

Make A Simple Colour Wheel

You have to love an extra day to make things happen. However, I’m still posting February’s last minute daily creativity here.

Good luck to you as everyone seems to enjoy seeing the different stages a design goes through… including me! (No deep picture here!)

He is interested in snow…paint. I love the contrast between light and dark. I hope we will continue to work with him in the future.

I try to incorporate oranges into my paintings. I love burnt oranges and reds. My house is full. Orange and red in my drawing..why?! But why do I find it difficult to work with them?

I know I need to spend more time working on the colors. I need to practice matching different colors. You can’t correct the color…

Luckily, I have enough cadmium orange and pyrrole orange at the paint store. I want to use it up… soon… so I can buy a different shade of orange.

Do you ever feel like ditching all the colors and buying all the shades? I really need to take a good color mixing workshop. Does anyone know a good one? (preferably online)

Blah.. I don’t like it in general. I know it will be a coat and very little will show up in the final design, but sometimes when you don’t like something it’s hard to keep doing it… but I’ll do it.

I laughed when I heard a friend refer to her as “in the teenage years”…all in, pimpled, hormonal and schizophrenic…a beauty waiting to be discovered.

My trusty friend Erin made me this little lookbook and I use it a lot. With rose colored glasses and a view, I always see something I like.

So keeping what I like and adding what I don’t like…what if I don’t really dig it?

I thought to myself what a waste of time… I can’t believe I threw away my favorite Quin nickel paint on this… maybe I could have saved… what happened to patience and persistence… what I am teaching here to your children. .3 hours in the water…oh….

It felt like an emotional roller coaster ride as I put the scissors to paper. But.. it’s done and even though I felt like a crazy woman with scissors in hand, sometimes you just have to make a big change. I think I just did it!

As for these pieces… maybe journal pages… pieces (oh right, don’t… yet) or maybe I’ll pin them to my bulletin board as a reminder of the lessons I learned while working on this piece.

Don’t tell anyone here, but I love rainy weekends. There is no excuse to stay at home and draw, paint, read and…blog.

After my crazy week, I can only sigh. AHHHH… it’s been a few days since – very few. My new plan is to set aside 30 minutes a day to play and explore my stuff. If I have more time, great. If not, no crying because at least I had time to do what I wanted to do.

How To Use The Color Wheel For Color Schemes And Mixing

A fresh bag of my cherry tomatoes (right) and clementines (left). Grocery shopping just got a little more fun….

These signs will be bees. More layers and depth..change the color and some bees will be installed.

I don’t know what I will use them for. I usually don’t use blue. Now I think it might be a bee. Yes decisions…

I really like this style. It is good because it takes color from its website. It is also good to paint over other colors. Will definitely use again.
