Watercolour colour mixing GREEN + history of green

Let's delve into colour mixing and colour theory and swatch our hearts away. By swatching, we can learn so much about colour and colour theory. Grab some watercolour and 3 yellows and just one blue to experiment and learn at the same time. Having some masking tape will be really handy but not necessary. We'll finish up with some fascinating history of green.

Hello Marion 😊. Your colour theory tutorials are very much appreciated. Understanding how to mix green and experimenting is so important. I also appreciated your purple tutorial. Big cheers, Judy 🎉

Fantastic video, thankyou!
PS I recently started (SAFELY!!!) painting with lead white and I'm shocked by the difference this has made when I'm mixing colours
When doing a side by side comparison with my regular go-to titanium white. I immediately noticed that the lead white appeared a lot warmer than the stark titanium white. But the real difference became apparent when I started to mix in different colours. This is because (in my opinion) lead white has a much, much better pigment retention then my regular white. Absolutely love it..
