ARTKids Color Mixing Practice Sheet DARK TO LIGHT NEUTRALS RED TO YELLOW YELLOW TO BLUE BLUE TO RED DIRECTIONS Blend the neutral colors to show the value or intensity from dark to light. *TIP - if using watercolor paints, use water to dilute and allow the white of the background to show through instead of adding white. Paint in secondary and intermediate (tertiary) colors by mixing the two primaries. Be sure to use a neutral primary color when you begin, one that has no undertone of another primary in it. Example: neutral red, not red-violet, not red-orange. Be careful not to overlap colors, or you will not have a pure color example. © 1998-1999 by SPARKSITES and www.artfaces.com All rights reserved.
