I put down some of the Born olive green and tried to match it with a limited palette of Anko paints. It’s not identical but if you look at the palette knife (used to mix) and the centre colour put directly on the swatch it’s kinda close
I should wait and see if it darkens when it dries.
Edit: I had cleaned the knife but scraped from the rapidly drying pile for a better comparison. It looks a little cooler (and like a gross paste) but not miles off
looking good 🙂
so this is what I did to test the colours of a water colour palette , I'm not up to mixing colours yet. I can barely do a good wash.
The colour dried way darker than it looked when wet so I don’t know what I’m gonna do about trying to match :( I’m not really going through anything in an organised way. Just figured I’d give it a go.
That looks really neat
Just keep working at it. Everything takes practice. 🙂
I guess I just try to mix a shade or two lighter? Thanks
