I think her blue color is the “wrong” kind of blue.. it dont wanna mix to be green or purpel.. there is a other kind of blue that will make the most wonderful green and purple (ofc depending of u mix with red or yellow ;P or else u get brown if u take both) otherwise nice video for newbies.. :)

This is a bad example! She’s using a red that has yellow in it instead of using magenta!

Thank you! In school (where I paint) I always forget to mix colors. The more colors (the more shades of colors), the more realistic the picture gets. Also, thanks for talking about the purple, I never knew that it worked the same way as with pastels or colored pencils.
