When you have your colors on the pallet, you can mix them, not on your canvas. You want
to try and make sure that you're always going to mix them on the pallet because then you
will have them for later on, you'll have the mixed color, you'll be able to make more of
it. If you do it on the canvas it's harder to get back to. Also, if you mix your colors
on the canvas, you're going to end up getting more muddy colors. They're going to end up
looking not as clear and you always want to have a color that can be definable as something.
You don't want to have a muddy-ish green or a muddy-ish blue, it's just going to look
better in the long run. So, try and mix your colors on the pallet, all the time, whenever
it's possible. The way that we put the colors on here will be conducive to that, as well.
Also, when you're mixing your colors on the pallet, always mix more than you think you
might need because, from that, you can make other colors or you can keep what you have.
It's good to create your own colors and be using those more than what you would be taking
right from the tube, as a color.
