There’s this artist who is all about mixing on the page to see what happens. Why swatch and mix on a palette when you can paint. I agree!

painting two flower paintings to comapre to compare white vs. mixing white

The flower painting on the left was done with mixing white. Mixing white preserves more of the color. The blue is brighter. I like the blending I get when I layer with mixing white. The blue over the green is interesting and fun. I’m going to recreate this idea on 9 x12 watercolor paper. I have already started!

Tomorrow I’ll share flowers I painted testing out the entire set. I am really enjoying the liquitex hard body acrylic paint.

Siempre,
