Mixing Greys in Watercolour

This is a fun exercise that is great for exploring colour mixing, AND you have a pretty little painting at the end. In this video, I used a different two-colour mix for each stone. I also added a highlight in Raw Umber to each stone to tie them all together. You can mix an infinite amount of interesting greys by using colours that are complementary, or are close to being complementary, to each other on the colour wheel. Thank you for watching!
