1. Make a Mixing chart<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Before you do anything. Make a watercolour mixing chart<\/strong> (see my post on how to do this here<\/a><\/strong>). Ok, I know, I bang on about this all the time so I won\u2019t labour the point further. I have a video<\/a><\/strong> of me making a mixing chart with my White Nights paints (with terrible audio – I apologise).<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I just have not got around to making a newer version yet. But you still get the idea. I also have a video where I make a chart from the Daniel Smiths Essential Set<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
