Color mixing lesson for beginners – the Watercolor Color Wheel
By Mr. Otter Art Studio
Learn how to mix 12 colors of the rainbow using the primary colors, red, yellow and blue. This is the first watercolor lesson I recommend for beginners. The color mixing can also be applied to other paint mediums, like acrylic, and oil. Step one is to draw a circle and divide it into 12 pie slices, label it, then we will start with Yellow and move around the color wheel. I will show you how to create a gradated wash that goes from dark to light, however, you can paint it in with a solid color if you want. Enjoy! Visit the artist’s youtube channel here.
