Mixing dark watercolors is something we have to do on a regular basis, here are a few quick ways of doing it.
Some involve using lamp black as a basis, others don't use black at all. Together, they show the wide range of dark colors that can be created, even when you are mixing just two colors together. Imagine the range if you used three or even four colors! Layering watercolors will create even darker tones, and you can do this with these mixes, and create even more depth of color. The scope is endless, and I hope this video helps you get started with mixing dark watercolors.
What are your favorite mixes for creating dark watercolors? Leave me a comment down below, I would be interested to know, and I may even try them out myself. Thank you in advance. 😊
