                            MONDAY:  COLOUR MIXING 
                                                                             
               Today we’re going to focus on colour and how to mix your own unique hues. Pre-mixed, dried palettes 
               may seem inviting and easier to use since it takes the guesswork out of making your own colours, but it 
                   can also be really limiting! I find having a smaller set of liquid paints gives me the freedom to mix 
                                    different quantities of each to make an endless amount of colours.  
                                                                             
                 Having a basic understanding of colour theory will help you visualize how your colours are going to 
               come together once you start mixing. It may take a little time before it becomes automatic, but before 
                        you know it you'll naturally be grabbing the colours you need to create that perfect hue.

                                                 PRIMARY COLOURS 
                 In traditional colour theory, primary colours are the 3 pigment colours that cannot be mixed or 
                                                                 
                  formed by any combination of other colours. All other colours are derived from these 3 hues

                                    These are the colours formed by mixing the primary colours. 
                           Yellow + Red = Orange        Yellow + Blue = Green         Red + Blue = Purple

               These are the colours formed by mixing a primary with a secondary colour. That’s why the hue is a

                These are any two colours that are opposite one another on the colour wheel. Pairing these two
