Angela Fehr Watercolour | Color mixing neutrals in watercolor: Getting Good Mud @angelfehr | Uploaded July 2023 | Updated October 2024, 9 hours ago.
For today's #worldwatercolormonth daily video, I'm answering a question I get asked pretty frequently - "why don't my neutrals look as pretty as yours?"
Mixing complementary colors to get "mud" is a wonderful way of bringing some quiet, complex neutrals to your painting. They will make the pure colors look more vibrant and create lovely transitions between more saturated hues. Mixed neutrals can also help unify your color palette and make your painting more harmonious, but there is a little bit of finesse that can help you create lovely neutrals that don't look flat.
If you're learning watercolor technique, don't lose sight of your inner artistic style! It's easy to get so focused on painting correctly that you forget to invite your inner voice to express itself in your art. My online watercolor course for beginners, Learn Watercolor the Heart-Led Way, is designed to put your artistic voice first, while also helping you learn watercolor techniques that will make your paintings sing.
