Learning to draw: mix acrylic, oil, watercolor paints. All sorts of shades with three main colors.

Without creativity, human life is empty and not interesting. Painting, like music learn not only to realize in life, but also to find an inchoon in life, a hobby that will bring joy and peace. And where drawing and mixing the paints. This article is devoted to this. In it we will tell how to mix and receive new colors and shades of the most common in drawing paints.

How to mix acrylic, oil and watercolor paints to get the desired color: table, proportion

Mix acrylic paints

We suggest familiarizing yourself with the lesson of the famous artist and a designed teacher, the author of the book "Acrylic Painting with Lee Hammond". Lee Hammond warns, although since childhood, we supposedly know that, mixing the red and blue we will get purple, acrylic paints have other pigmentation and most likely you will find brown on the palette.

Important: read pigments on packages. Have seen on store shelves lie up to 15 species of one shade? Do you think this in order to fill the showcase? No, it is represented by the same color with various pigments. Therefore, we write out or photograph the color of the smartphone - the necessary pigment and already go to the store for the replenishment of paints.

Also note that pigments are transparent, translucent and dense consistency. Therefore, at the same manufacturer of colors you can buy completely different structures. This is not a marriage, but the properties of the pigment.

So, in order to get a practical full range of paints, only 7 colors are enough. For beginners, it is recommended to purchase precisely these colors, and in the future, at your own discretion, additional shades will continue.

Please note that we will not specifically translate the name of the main colors so that you can call them in the store and purchase the necessary pigments:

• Main: Cadmium Yellow Medium
• Main: Cadmium Red Medium
• Primary: PRUSSIAN BLUE
• Additional: Alizarin Crimson
• Additional: BURNT UMBER
• Neutral: Ivory Black
• Neutral: Titanium White

Bought, prepared a canvas for the experiment and proceed to the magic.

The experiment is the first - every color mix with white and we get new, amazing pastel and tender shades. We give a table of smears with the signature of what we mixed.

Well, now from Lev to the right, from the first to the lower, we disassemble the shades that we managed to get: fawn; peach or as it is also called coral; light pink; beige; Heavenly blue; Gray or light asphalt.

And now we try to mix all colors with black, the result in the table below.

And we got such colors: khaki or dark green; chestnut; plum; rich brown; dark blue.

But this is all simple, now we turn to a more complex embodiment of acrylic paints, but interesting! Mix and get all the shades of green.

As we have already done, we mix two colors that under the smear and we get just such a shade.

Additionally, we got: olive green color; gray-green shade resembling asphalt after rain reflective green crowns of trees; bottle-green; mint.

The next step is PURPUR and purple tone and halftone. In order to receive such shades, it will be necessary in a set for work the Berlin Azure or Alizarine Pink or Red Cadmium. Two examples for mixing: PRUSSIAN Blue + Cadmium Red Medium or Prussian Blue + Alizarin Crimson.

We got colors: chestnut, saturated gray gray, plum and shade of lavender.

Now add a white pigment and stir up, add it dropwise to each option. Please note what a riot color played in your hands!

Solar shades. That is how they love to call the shades of orange artists, these are beautiful tone moods. They are obtained by mixing red with additional colors.

On this table we got: orange as it is, peach, brick, coral.

Earth shades can be obtained by adding Umbra Zhby (the international value of BURNT UMBER). If it is necessary to obtain pastel shades of these tones, then it is enough to add a drop of white pigment.

In this case, we got earthen shades: Umbra; brick; Dark turquoise; Sepia dark; dirty beige; pastel-lilac; blue steel; Gray warm shade.

We mix oil paints

In oil paints, the situation with the palette is a bit simpler and one pigment is used in one color, so we will not give the main colors, and leave the color name exclusively. Rules that we remember from childhood is just the rules of oil paints.

We mix watercolor paints

Watercolor paints are mixed with the same principle as oil, except that the watercolor is translucent and shades are muffled. We recommend to work first the table indicated above, but only then go to drawing on the canvas.

Basic colors for mixing paints

Main colors in mixing paints include three colors. This is red, blue and yellow. Additional are white and black. Thanks to these colors, you can get absolutely all shades of the rainbow.

This article does not give ready-made solutions, because paint is impossible to squeeze or make a certain amount of milligram, this article gives a direction in which you can go to work and develop. Try, experiment and you will definitely get amazing creation. And the painting works much better than any psychologist, relieves stress, distracts from problems and helps to see the beautiful in the usual!

Brown is universal color, which has many possible applications, but it is not always possible to be found in the sets of accessories for drawing. Fortunately, various shades of brown can be obtained by mixing three main colors: red, blue and yellow. Just mix three of these basic colors, and you will get brown. You can also start with secondary, such as orange or green, and add the main color to it until brown turns out. To achieve the desired shade of brown, add more than one of the main colors, use some black or mix two or more different shades.

Steps

Mix basic colors in equal proportions

Squeeze to the surface for mixing along a small drop of each color. Apply a red, blue and yellow paint palette on the palette or sheet next to each other. The exact amount depends on how many brown paint you need. It is important that each paint is equally equal.

• Leave some place between colors. In this free place in the middle, you will mix different paints.
• To get a brown of basic colors, you just need to mix them in equal amounts.

Tip: In principle, such a combination can also be used for oil sticks, watercolors or color pencils, but the final color can be in an inhomogeneous, as they are harder to mix.

Fully mix colors. Swipe the end of Mastichene on the inner edges of all three colors to tighten them to the center. Then all wider circular movements, mix the paints with a flat bottom surface of the tool. At the same time, you will notice that the mixture gradually acquires a saturated brown color.

Add a bit white to give brown depth. After you mix the paint and get a brown, add a little white paint and continue to mix until it completely disappears. Be careful and do not use too much white paint - as a rule, it is required no more than ⅓ on the total paint.

How to get brown from secondary colors

1. Mix together red and yellow to get orange. Start with a sufficient amount of red paint and gradually add yellow paint into it to achieve a rating of 1: 1 as a result. At the same time, mix the paints until you get dark orange.

   • To bring brown enough dark enough, you can use a little more red paint.

2. Mix orange with blue to get brown. Use slightly less blue than orange - the proportion of blue paint should not exceed 35-40%. How to mix the paints until you get a chocolate brown.

   Mix red and blue to get purple color. Use these two colors in an approximately equal proportion. The perfect combination of red and blue will give purple color, and if you deviate from the exact proportion, you will get a magenta or similar red shade.

   • The correct purple color is pretty difficult. If the final mixture will have a reddish or bluish shade, add a little opposite color to achieve a balance.
   • If you add too much blue paint, purple color will be harder to fix. It is easier to achieve the correct shade when an excess of red.

3. We gradually add to purple yellow paint until you get brown. As the colors mix, you will notice how the dirty brown shade begins to appeal. Continue to add yellow paint with small portions until you get the color you need.

   Mix blue and yellow to get green. Sull a large drop of blue and gradually add yellow paint into it. As with orange color, you should start with the most saturated green and move to the middle of the spectrum.

   • For better results, green should be closer to dark blue than to light aquamarine.

4. Add in green the right amount of red paint to get brown. First, mix quite a bit red and continue adding and mixing as needed to get a darker color. A mixture of green with red can give from an earthen olive-brown to a heat-burned orange shade.

   • To get as much as possible "real" brown color, the mixture should contain 33-40% of red paint. With an equal proportion, the red will be slightly prevalent.

   Tip: Brown, obtained with a mixture of red and green, is perfect for landscapes and images of nature.

   How to get different shades

   Add some more red or yellow paint to give brown a warmer shade brown. If you want to clarify or enhance the brown, just add a small amount of one of the warm main colors. Add paint with minor portions and move continuously until you get the desired shade.

Blue is one of the main colors. Along with red and yellow, it is included in the list of tones, the production of which is impossible at home. But the artists know perfectly well how to get a blue color in its diverse shades - for this you need to mix a classic kolker with other pigments, which gives stunning results.

Traditional color circle

Experts call blue, red, yellow colors "three whales" of coloring and painting. It is on them that the widestone palette of the second and third sections is held, they are combined with each other, while the creation is excluded.

All the most important colors are included in the so-called color circle. It is a conditional model divided into sectors. The latter are located in order close to the location in the visible light spectrum. Nearby shades are called chromatic, they can be mixed with each other with the receipt of a new chromatic (color) paint. If, when mixing the paints, it will take opposite tones, an acharomatic color (grayish) will be released. That is, the farther from each other, the most likely that their mixture will give an unbeatable, ugly tone.

Classic blue and its shades

Make the blue color of the house will not work, so to create different shades you need to purchase a ready-made gouache, watercolor, acrylic paint or other type of dyes (even plasticine). Next, you can use other colors from the set, because when they combine you can get incredible tones and halftone blue. Artists have special tables with the names of the shades and the necessary proportions for the paints, but in practice anyway it is necessary to experiment.

In the usual sets of Guoisha, blue is presented with a tint of ultramarine. He is very bright, moderately dark, has a little purple notes. There is an important rule that needs to be remembered: white color is added to the clarification of the tone, black, black, to change the paint chipboard - various colors.

Sine-green

Make shades of blue with green choppers simply. The effect of a dark green tone gives an introduction to a small amount of finished green paint into blue. If it is not, you can do otherwise. Since the connection of blue and yellow gives a green kel, you can add a little yellowness to blue. Further, the paint is blossomed by leaks, the result is the shade of the third order, less saturated.

Prussian blue

Azure color also contains green shades. Artists have a recipe for its preparation - it is necessary to connect 1 part of the blue and as much of a salad or bright green (herbal) shade. If necessary, the tone is diluted with legens.

Sine-purple

Such a color is considered very rich, powerful for energy, it is prepared by connecting blue with red paint in the same proportions. But the finished purple must be forced to "Square", for which the blue color is added dropwise before getting the desired tone. Usually the final ratio does not exceed 2: 1.

Royal Xin

The Royal color is a dark, cold tone, close to classic. Traditional Royal Blue enters the HTML color gamut used in computer graphics. It is also the main tone of ink, paint for cartridges. To make such a color, in ultramarin is injected with a drop of black and even less green.

Sina-gray

This tint resembles a cloudy sky, as well as about the color of water in an extra-sunny day. In the basic blue you need to add a little brown, in the end it will turn out a dark blue-gray tone. It is diluted with legens to the desired degree of clarification. There is another option to create a gray-blue shade - to connect blue with orange, as a result, it turns out a grayish mass with a slight blue fold.

Dark blue

Blue paint begins to darken from adding a small amount of black spher. The ratio should be no more than 4: 1. Creating such a shade is required if you need to "calm" the color when initially it is too bright.

Blue

Blue color is easy. For this, the blue of any tone is bred by Bellyl 3: 1 or more. An increase in the volume of white paint leads to even greater clarification up to the sky blue or pastel-blue. To achieve the manufacture of the original tone, you can breed by brazy turquoise.

Other shades

The meshwood tone is obtained by connecting a portion of blue, as well as drops of white and black paint. For dark turquoise to blue add dropwise yellow green kel. Vasilka is created when mixing purple, blue, droplets of brown and the same number of black dye.

Blue in nature

In the real world, blue is perceived by the eye in the range of 440-485 nm. This is a digital value of the length of an electromagnetic wave, which has a blue tone in the overall spectrum of light. In nature, you can see up to 180 shades of the blue - its tones are viewed in the color of the seas and oceans, the sky, twilight, lunar light, many plants, insects.

To obtain the perfect spike, it is necessary to ensure that all ingredients are similar to the chemical composition. Otherwise, the mass can escape, the unsolved bodies will remain in it. It is also important to apply high-quality paints, because other times begin to darken, serving. Very susceptible to change oil dyes - it is better to first try working on a small area and after a couple of days to evaluate the effect. Artists note: the smaller the amount of paints were connected, the better the result will be less than the risk of burnout and peeling the finished decor.

The mixing table of colors allows you to find out how when mixing two or more colors and shades get the right one.

Such a table is applied in various fields of art - visual, modeling, and others. It can also be used in construction when mixing paints and plasters.

Everyone knows that connecting 3 main colors (red, yellow and blue), you can achieve any other color. This theory was launched in ancient times Leonardo da Vinci. The conclusion from the theory can be made such that it is impossible to get basic colors by mixing others. But what to do and, for example, how to get red? To solve the issue, come to him from the practical side and consider how the red in the printing house is made, what kind of artists get it and what you need to do for this.

Red in printing houses make by mixing other major paints. Here is the color model CMYK. All the differences in the colors of the model used are made by mixing the required basic colors:

• Blue - Cyan.
• Purple (Purple) - Magenta
• Yellow - Yellow
• Black - Black

As in other color models, it is necessary to take at least 2 colors and in our case the red on printed products make a combination of 2 triad paints: purple (majer) and yellow. Such a method is used in order to make color engravings. If you get up with these colors, you can make not only red, but also to achieve its shades by regulating the ratio of yellow and purple (purple). The range of red paints will be from pale purple to saturated orange-red.

Mix yellow and purple get red

Information: In addition to typography, the CMYK model underlies the work of most printers. It is also used in the professional painting of machines, decor interiors and facades of structures, in fabric production.

Natural red

In addition to artificially, it can be easily made from natural materials. So the flowers of the podmarnik allow you to paint the items into bright red. For the preparation of such paint, the flowers are dried and boil with the alum within the hour. Saflow and Hypericum flowers are also suitable for making red paint, by digesting water to a dense. Close-old cherry paint make an orange lichen. It is necessary to finely cut a lichen and mix with food soda (it is better to use a solution), wait 3-4 minutes and can be used.

In nature, red can be found quite often. Therefore, its different shades are sometimes called focusing on their natural owners: fruits, minerals and berries. Among them can be found such names as: crimson, pomegranate, cherry, coral, blue, wine, burgundy. All similar colors form a red gamut.

Red shades in painting are made on the basis of pigments of warm and cold shades. To cold, it is necessary to attribute chinacridon ruby \u200b\u200bor purple, to warm - cadmium light, orange Siena (natural and burned).

RGB and CMYK Color Models

Interaction with other colors

Many people are interested in whether it is possible to make red from different colors, for example, pink. Our answer is no! If you replace purple pink and mix with yellow, then you can not see the red color, there will be only its likeness.

Burgundy from red is obtained by mixing with black. Depending on the types of paints, the ratio can reach 2: 1 (you need 2 parts of red and 1 black). Changing concentration you can make various shades of burgundy.

Another question, what will happen if you mix red and yellow? Answer: We get orange.

The most popular question sounds like this: "What do you get when mixing red and blue paints?". To clarify we look at the RGB color model (red, green, blue), where it is clearly seen that, using blue in combination with red, we get purple color.

Conclusion

Basic colors for red - yellow and purple (purple). To make the desired color when mixing, it is necessary necessary to take artificial paints, you can use natural. Red is the basic in the RGB model and you need to mix with green and blue to make other colors.
