Acrylic Color Mixing Made Easy

Description Learn how to mix acrylic paints with lessons from award-winning artist Carol McIntyre. Start by creating a pigment chart – a visual reference guide to all your colors. Take your color confidence further as Carol demystifies hue, value and chroma. Explore techniques for easily mixing complementary colors. Next, make color temperature simple as you create a two-primary color chart. Progress to painting a simple, beautiful still life using a pair of complementary colors. Then, mix clean secondary and tertiary colors that are bright or dull, and apply your new skills to paint a lovely purple flower. Move on to mixing natural-looking green hues to open up a landscape of painting possibilities. Plus, apply what you’ve learned to paint a pastoral landscape with both vivid and muted hues using a two-primary palette.
