WHAT?
Because my greens are causing me a bit of an issue, I took a bit of time out to try and understand my water-mixable oils a little better.
SO WHAT?
I made a sample chart of my three blues (ultramarine, cobalt and phthalo turquoise) across the top and my three yellows (raw sienna, Indian yellow and lemon yellow) down the side, so I could look at the effect of mixing each in turn. I also added a bit of titanium white so I could judge its effect on each mixture, as well as each “neat” paint. I applied the paints undiluted.
NOW WHAT?
I am going to stick this up on my easel to help inform my palette choices in future, depending on the sort of green I’ll want.
