First,it is important to know if your paints are transparent or opaque. You can usually find that designation on the tube (if it is artist/professional grade paint) or test the paint by painting over a wide black line. Opaque covers the line. Using transparent paints,paint one color. LET DRY. Paint over that color with another transparent color. Light bounces from the paper underneath through the watercolor pigments creating another color. This is another way of color mixing. Be sure to test several colors using the glazing technique.
