How to convert a digital color palette to watercolor colors
Happy Friday dear readers!
This post is number 2 of 4 about my process of creating an illustration. From creating the color palette (that's where we are now), to the final illustration.
In case you missed the previous post, I leave it linked here.
Since the amount of watercolor colors in my collection is beginning to be quite large, I have decided to create a basic palette for these tutorials with the colors that appear in almost all beginner sets.
The colors I will use are:
- Lemon Yellow (or any cool yellow you have on your palette)
- Medium Cadmium Yellow (you can replace it with any warm yellow you have)
- Pale Cadmium Red (or any warm red you have in your palette)
- Magenta (you can replace it with another cold red)
- Cobalt blue.
- Yellow Ocher.
- Burnt Umber.
- Sepia
You already know that most of my watercolors are Schmincke Horadam, but you do NOT need my same colors to get good results. For this reason I have not put the brand next to the color (although I do tell you about it in the video 😅).
It is likely that you will not get exactly the same tone as on the computer, don't worry, art is not mathematics, mix until you like the color and that's it!
As I always tell you, you can leave me your doubts and concerns in the comments and I will answer them to the extent possible.
Until next week!
