Watercolour Overlay Chart

overlaid watercolour tones

I brought a new scanner, thinking it would make it a bit easier for me to get things up on my website, and then I found out that my website needs some work. Sadly, the people who I buy my hosting off have sort of dropped out of the personal hosting game, and are really only selling hosting to massive cloud-based enterprise businesses. I suspect whoever used to look after the cluster of servers for people like me has retired to a life of ostrich farming or something, as my server is just sooooooooo slow. Apologies for anybody who had a really long wait for this page to load in.

Above, you’ll see a chart showing what happens when you paint one colour over another. I like the translucency of watercolour paints, and I don’t understand how to use thick opaque paints like gouache or oils, so I thought I would try and make the most of it. This chart has already shown me several interesting greens that I wasn’t really aware of, around the cross-section of the blues and yellows.
