Twitterwww.cheapjoes.com Joe Miller Techniques on Mixing Color and Scraping Here is a transcription for those that can't turn their speakers up. Hi, I'm Joe from Cheap Joe's and I'd like to show you one way to mix color. Most people think of mixing color in mixing it on the palette and I'm constantly hearing "I'm making mud" or "I'm making a mess." This is a way to let your color mix without mixing it on the palette because we're going to let it mix on the paper. It's so much prettier that way. I've already activated some color and they're already beginning to run together a little bit on the palette, but I'm going to take this one and a half inch. It's just a big nylon flat brush with a round handle and actually just pick up a couple of colors without stirring it in here. Then I'm going to go straight to my painting over here and just put it in. Wow, what beautiful colors I'm getting in this right here. I already have some color on this little painting from where we showed how to use the masking tape, so that's what those little areas are right in there. I'm just letting this color mix in here adding a little darker there because I had this transition there. Then I'm going to add just some pure water down here and let that mix. A little brighter color, it's getting kind of dull on me in here so we're going to add some color. I'm coming right around this little house in here very carefully letting it mix itself right on the paper. Look at that I love it. It's kind of muted here ...
