And, I'll mix the color, you know, off the top of my head, and then I'll think, well,
"oo! I'll better make sure I have this mix color on hand." So, what I do is, I just put
a little thing on here that identifies how I mix this color. So, in this case it says:
Windsor, Newton, permanent green light, plus some little permanent green dark and a little
bit of white; and hopefully, I could replicate this if, if I wanted to. Now, the one important
thing that you need to understand about color, I think in the beginning, is that color is
relative. Alright? So, if you're going to put, here basically what I would say are two
colors that are put together, that are kind of like opposite each other on the color scale.
So, I'm putting a pink, which is more or less of a reddish and I'm putting a greenish, which
is more or less, more or less of a greenish. In juxtaposition, I'm putting them next to
each other, and the result is that it, it's almost as if it vibrates. So, that's kind
of like the thing that you want to go for, or another way, another way for me to put
this is to say that you don't, you don't want to be boring with color. That's number one.
You don't want any portion of your piece, your work, your work of art to be boring.
It can be a completely negative space, but it has to have a shape to it. It has to have
a certain balance, and the other thing that you don't want to do, is you don't want to
end up with muddy colors, and the way that you do that is by haphazardly mixing colors.
If you find yourself with muddy colors, then you have to stop and you have to regroup,
rethink. Maybe even start again.
