Pocket Sketching with Kath Macaulay

Color and Color Mixing

Season 1 Episode 7

Kath demonstrates the usual color wheel compared to John F. Carlson’s and how and why to use it, creating your own, and several methods of color mixing to get a good knowledge of the colors in the box. This includes use of gouache and its limitations in fast field sketching with watercolor. She emphasizes the importance of doing disciplined exercises right only once, and preplanning a reward.
