I mixed a few colors that I forgot to record, so scroll down to the bottom for notes on those. But I do think it will be helpful to see my process. I also filmed it in Instagram mode, which is vertical, so excuse the fact that I hold the bottles sideways. My mixing techniques are so instinctual it can be hard to describe. I will admit this video was not easy to make. This creates a much richer color than just adding brown or black, and creates subtle undertones and variations that are even more apparent with liquid watercolor. To mute a color, just add a drop of its complementary color. Complementary colors are opposite each other on the color wheel: red –> green, purple –> yellow, orange –> blue. ~ In this post and video, I mostly use the principles of complementary colors. There is no white in liquid watercolor, so I use water to lighten a color. Of course with tempera paint, you can use white (which I add to every color I mix) to lighten the hue and make even more shades. This is when it gets interesting, and these are the colors are mix the most, like periwinkle (purple + blue), lime green (green + yellow), and magenta (purple + red). ~ Tertiary colors are when you mix 1 secondary with 1 primary. ~ Secondary colors are the 3 colors that are made when mixing 2 primaries: orange (red + yellow), green (blue + yellow), and purple (blue + red). ~ As I have explained before in my Color Mixing with Tempera Paints post, and my Mixing Skin Tones post, all colors are derived from the 3 primary colors: red, yellow, and blue. Liquid watercolor is less forgiving than tempera in this way. ~ When using a variety of colors at once for a project, try and put a brush in each color, rather than moving one brush from color to color, which can quickly contaminate the colors. This helps you know what the color is inside. When it dries, cut up small pieces to tape to the lid and side of each color. ~ Make a swatch card on watercolor paper with the finished colors. Especially with Blick, you will want to dilute depending on how deep or light you want your color. ~ Have a cup of water handy when mixing colors. The colors should last many months, depending on how often you paint. Some baby food jars, some hexagonal jars I bought here, and some jam jars. ![]() ~ I store my liquid watercolor in a variety of jars. You can just buy 7 basic colors to make every other color: red, blue, yellow, green, purple, pink, black. ~ You don’t need to spend a lot of money on liquid watercolor. ![]() ~ Liquid watercolor bottles tend to leak from the top when using the spout, so I just take off the top and pour when mixing colors. But honestly any liquid watercolor works! Get the 8oz size. ~ I buy Blick because I love their color choices, and their colors are very concentrated. But I finally shot the video and put it all together for you! Another reason this has taken a while is that I don’t usually mix a whole batch of new colors at once. Part of that reason is that liquid watercolors are very concentrated so not only does a little go a long way, but they are all very dark and look similar so it’s just harder to gauge the color you are making. The truth is, mixing this medium is not as easy as mixing tempera paints. Having given the molecules an orientation by means of a magnetic field in such circumstances that the flow did not change this orientation, I obtained the following values for the three principal viscosity coefficients for p-azoxyanisol and p-azoxyphenetol 2.This post is long overdue! I know I have promised to video my color mixing with liquid watercolor for quite some time. But in this case we have to deal with the anisotropy of the viscosity, and in case of a liquid of the type of p-azoxyanisol we have three principal viscosity coefficients belonging to the three directions of orientation these are : (1) direction of the flow (2) direction of the velocity gradient (3) perpendicular to both these directions. If under the influence of any factor the molecules of the liquid should be orientated in one direction and the motion is unable to change this orientation, then we have the viscosity coefficient in the ordinary sense. Therefore this coefficient is a function of the velocity-gradient, and the usual definition of the viscosity coefficient for these liquids loses its significance. On the other hand, the value of the viscosity coefficient depends on this orientation. As is well known, the flow of an anisotropic liquid influences the orientation of the molecules. BEFORE and during the War, investigations were reported on the viscosity of anisotropic liquids 1,2,3,4.
