One of my viewers asked what would be my favourite Beam paintstone or palette combinations if I was on a budget, and this question led to this video.
I chose 2 sets of primary colours of Beam paintstones, and showed what the secondary colours would look like with each. I also showed a few other favourite colours and we used white to tint the reds and a darker watercolour called Orca to create a shade. All colours combined would create a muddy neutral colour.
