Which Colour Combos can I get with Cobalt Blue? - Quick Watercolour Mixing Demo
Published at : September 21, 2021
In this video I use Cobalt Blue from DaVinci to mix a variety of colours.
First I mix cobalt blue with Indian Yellow, New Gamboge, Aureolin, Raw Sienna, Vermilion, Burnt Sienna, Rose Madder Genuine, and Hooker's Green.
After mixing each colour I show you what it looks like on paper.
Colours are of course going to vary depending on brand, quality, how much water you use, lighting, etc. This was just a fun demonstration to see which colours I could mix up. I tend to always turn to ultramarine blue for mixing and I wanted to give cobalt blue a better shot.
There are many more combos you could make too, get out your colours and start mixing.
I also have a video on mixing with hooker's green. https://youtu.be/k3uOut5VjWw
Have fun painting!
