Hi, I'm Sue Rose with Expert Village and today we're talking about mixing your primary and
secondary colors. We've mixed the red and green, which are complimentary, and the blue
and orange, which are complimentary and now we're going to mix the purple, or the violet
with yellow, which is complimentary. So, I take a little dab of purple, and put it on
my pie plate, and a little dab of my yellow and then I'm going to put just a little sample
of each of these up on the top of my color sheet that I'm doing right here. And just
a little dab of my purple goes right here, whoops, and a little dab of my yellow goes
right here. Now, we're going to see what happens with our purple. I'm going to dip my brush
into my purple, put a little out to the side here and add just a little dab of my yellow,
just the tip of my brush with my yellow. See what color I come up with? That's kind of
an interesting color there, it's a warmer purple, rinse my brush again, put a little
dab of purple out here, this time I'm going to add a little more yellow to it. This is
really kind of a brighter purple, a darker purple, it's still warm. Now I'm going to
go with my purple again and I'm going to put about half equally yellow and purple. And
I come up with the same thing that I've done before, which is kind of a brown, warm, nothing
color, not much life to it. So, this is how you mix your yellow complimentary color into
your purple. Stay tuned on how you mix the purple compliment into your yellow.
