Content
- If you are not already green, you will need to mix it. Mix the blue and yellow colors little by little to make the green.
- If you don't have a dedicated color mixing tray, you can use any clean, dry surface to mix your colors. Try mixing colors on plates, paper, cardboard, or ceramic tiles. Remember not to use any important objects for coloring.
- Make sure you mix the required amount of colors - even a little more. If you need to add more color while you are painting halfway, it will be very difficult to blend the correct proportions as before, and your turquoise will have uneven shades.
Continue mixing colors until you are satisfied. Once the color has been blended into a homogeneous mixture, take a look at whether the turquoise hue is exactly what you want it to be. Draw on a drawing material - paint colors often change properties slightly when drawn. If you are not satisfied, keep adding blue, green, yellow, or white color in small increments until you get the exact shade of turquoise you need.
- Remember that you can always adjust the color scale before you start painting. You must be completely satisfied with the color you just blended before sitting in the painting.
- Make sure to mix the amount of colors needed to complete your composition. Adding the same color as the previous one is a complicated process when you are halfway through the painting.
Painting. Once you're satisfied with the medium-blended pale turquoise color, you can start painting. Paint on the surface of the selected material and enjoy the color you just created! advertisement
Advice
- Make turquoise with pale shades by adding small amounts of blue and green to white.
- You can also blend turquoise by adding a hint of yellow to the blue. An aspect ratio of 1: 6 or 1: 5 can produce nice colors.
- Turquoise is often considered a cool color.You can use this color for a gentle effect.
- You can change the color density by adjusting the color ratio. Start with a basic ratio of 2: 1 (2 parts blue with 1 part green) and continue experimenting.
Warning
- There are colors that are darker than others. If you don't like it at first, add green or yellow to blue, or add blue to the mix until you get the shade you want. If the green or yellow is too dark, you can start over with blue and add a little bit of the mixture.
- Most paint colors stain clothing and work surfaces. Wear clothes that you are not afraid of staining and protect the work surface with newspaper or cloth.
