COLOUR MIXING FOR WATERCOLOUR FLORALS - the one colour you CAN’T mix!
COLOUR MIXING FOR WATERCOLOUR FLORALS - the one colour you CAN’T mix!
If you love painting flowers as much as I do you probably also love all the colours 🌈 you get to use when painting watercolour florals.
Luckily that doesn't mean you have to buy tonnes of colours (unless you want to), because of course we can always mix a whole range of hues.
Except one.
(By the way, if you are wondering what watercolour supplies you actually need I have a free class that will answer all your questions. You can join in here

Actually I know what you are thinking… surely there are 3 colours you can’t mix - the primaries, red, blue and yellow.
Yes, that is the definition of primary colours (that you can’t mix them) but let’s circle back to that in a minute.
The colour I mean is not red, blue or yellow - its actually pink! And if you have ever found yourself frustrated at not being able to mix a nice sugar pink or fuschia tone before I am happy to report that it's not you - its the pigments and the information that we have been working with.
Let’s dive in and see if we can figure out why it is not possible to mix a vibrant magenta pink in watercolour and discover a few other important implications for floral watercolour painters.
