Many novice artists are faced with the problem of lack of colors in standard paint sets. If you have always dreamed of finding such a universal set, where all colors and shades would be, understand that in fact you already have it. Indeed, to get any color that exists in nature, it is enough to have a set of basic colors: red, yellow and blue. And to get orange out of them, you just need to learn a few subtleties of artistic color mixing.
It is necessary
- - palette
- - red paint
- - yellow paint
- - paper, canvas, etc.
- - brushes
Instructions
Step 1
Before you start painting, make sure that the palette is clean, there are no foreign particles on it (for example, dust, hairs from the brush), then your color will be cleaner and will lay down more evenly. Also think about how you want to get the orange color: by mixing paints on a palette or on paper.
Step 2
If you decide to mix paints on the palette, first apply a small amount of red paint to it, and then yellow.
Step 3
After that, mix them with a brush or small spatula (palette knife). If you mix the colors in equal parts, you get a classic bright orange color.
Step 4
If you decide to mix paints on paper, you need to understand that this mixing differs from receiving paints on a palette in that in this case the colors do not physically combine until a different color is obtained, but are simply applied to the paper or canvas one by one, as if overlapping each other., which gives the desired effect. There are small nuances here: if you apply yellow on red, then the resulting orange will be lighter than if you first applied yellow, and red on it.
Step 5
If you use oil paints, then there is a third way to get orange: for this, strokes are applied with red and yellow paint very close, which (especially at a distance) creates the desired effect.
