If in the process of creativity you need a purple color, but you only have basic paints at hand, then you can get it by mixing. It is important to take into account the chemical composition of the starting material and its saturation.
It is necessary
- - a palette or container for mixing;
- - paints (red, blue, black, white);
- - brushes;
- - water.
Instructions
Step 1
Purple is obtained by mixing red and blue, black can be added to create a darker shade. Since paints are different, this circumstance leaves a certain imprint on the process of their connection. The easiest way to get purple is from watercolor and gouache.
Step 2
If watercolor is chosen, then before starting work, dip the brush into a container of water and dissolve the red paint, take the required amount. Squeeze the composition onto the palette, rinse the villi without squeezing them, dial the blue color. Carefully start mixing with the red to the desired shade. The paint dries in the air, so if you have not completely used the color on the palette and they have hardened, then simply dissolve them with water. You should not use white to get a purple tone - when applied to a sheet of paper, it will give the impression of opacity, unusual for paintings painted with watercolors.
Step 3
When dry, the gouache becomes slightly lighter, and this property should be taken into account when choosing a color. It can be mixed on a flat palette or in a separate jar. To do this, take a brush and collect the required amount of red paint, place it in a separate environment. After that, rinse the brush - it must be wet, excess water must be removed. Dip it in blue, and wring out the compound next to the red color, intended for mixing, start to connect. Adding white will help to make the tone light and delicate, and use black to get a dark shade.
Step 4
Proceed with caution: combine colors gradually, achieving a systematic increase in saturation. In principle, you can get a purple color on the canvas itself during the drawing process, but such experiments require precision, which is gained in the process of practice.
