Hi Jennifer
I think I talk about different color maps in this article here.
And you’ll find a pdf of Bruce MacEvoy’s color map here.
cheers!

The big wheel for comparing pigments. It was a link to another site. Thanks!!

It explains why I haven’t been able to mix vibrant colors before and end up with muddy versions instead. Your color therory really “mixes it up” so to speak. Back to the drawing board for some better results. Thanks for sharing.

Hi Jeniffer
That’s right… this is the principle behind the split primary color palette 🙂

Wilcox suggests that if you want to mix a true green, use a yellow and blue that both have green undertones such as a lemon yellow and a cerulean blue. Likewise for purple use a red and blue that both have purple undertones. Warm blues have more purple and cool blues have more green. Warm reds have more orange and cool reds have more purple. You wouldn’t try to make purple with orange so a warm red will not give you a vibrant purple. This simplified everything I’ve learned about warm and cool watercolor painting. Your color wheel illustrates it well too!

Ty. I copied your dual primaries set. I haven’t water colored in almost 3 years, it’s nice to get started again. 👍
