Tools I need to mix colors.
It is the first step. On the one hand if the job is to create pictures, look for:
- Palette
- Brushes
- Palette knife...
On the other hand, if it is for wall, keep in mind:
- Pots to add colors
- Stirring rod
- Free space to try...
A vital fact is to clean the tools when you make a new mixture.
The color circle is a guide on color combinations. Even if you can download it from the web, it is best that you do it with practice. In fact it is a good way to learn fast. So have primary colors loved.
The root for mix colors.
From the primaries the other colors arise. In fact you will see that you can get a lot of tones. But the point is to try and get experience. So do not worry that in time you will be an expert.
Pour the blue and yellow tones equally. So you get the pure green color. On the other hand, mix yellow and red in exact portions to create the orange color. Next, combine red and blue to create purple.
So the 3 new colors are:
- Green
- Orange
- Purple
These are the secondary colors.
It is vital to say that if in the mix you add more portion of a color, the final result tends to that tone.
You can see that you have 6 colors.
Tertiary colors.
Primary and secondary colors make this kind of tones. So:
- Yellow + green = greenish yellow
- Yellow + Orange = Orange Yellow
- Blue + green = Greenish blue
- Blue + purple = Violet blue
- Red + purple = Violet red
- Red + Orange = Orange Red
Brown color.
There are some methods to create it. Next the mixtures:
- Orange + Blue = brown
- Purple + Yellow = Yellowish Brown
- Green + Red = Reddish brown
Complementary colors.
Refers to the opposites in the color disk. In fact, the point involves at least the primary and secondary tones. In other words, the complement of a rhyme is a secondary one and vice versa. Then to find these colors put care in the primary that are not. So, if you need the orange complement, think it's made with yellow and red. Thus the color that is not is blue. It is indeed the complementary.
If you want for the yellow complement, you see that blue and red form violet. Ergo it is that.
Uses.
Maybe you wonder what these colors are for?. Well here we respond. First, their use controls the vigor of the color.
Change a tone. After a mixture, the final color may change and is not what you want. So put the complement of it and that tone goes away. But if after the act the tone is gray, you can restore it with the first color.
In works of art, the use of these colors adds:
Black color.
Like the others, this color is found in all paint stores. But if in a moment you need it fast or you don't have the money you can create it in some ways:
With the primary colors. So if you have this triad of colors, mix them and go … Of course you can add more than one or two colors in the mix, that will depend on the use. It turns out that if you put a little white, you can clarify the color. Now if you put a little more blue you get a bluish black.
On the other hand, if you don't have the three base tones, you can create black with the complementary colors. So if you have red and green you already have what you need to achieve the color black. But if you don't have those colors but blue and orange you are done. You can also join 40% yellow paint and 60% purple.
Finally use brown and blue to achieve the same goal. Claro plays with the parties to get the tone you need.
And … The color White?.
In case you do not know, there is no color that mixed with another produces this tone. Still under study if see it as primary. So you can buy it at paint stores. In fact it is the basis for creating a lot of new colors.
In general, light colors are the ones that break white.
White works for:
- Clarify a color.
Maybe you want to touch up the walls of your house with paint left over. But you want me to look with another tone. Then mix white with the one left over and you will see the magic. Now, if you want a lighter shade, you put more white than the remaining color. Of course that will depend on what you want.
To put a case of 1000cc you can add 600cc of white and 400cc of the color you have. Also half and half. So you just clarify a little.
- Darken tones.
On the other hand in the case of giving strength to a color you apply the inverse. That is, put in a pot white paint and add the second color in small portions.
Mix colors for walls.
