Finding My Way in Color Mixing
My biggest challenge right now is color mixing. I understand the general concept and truly enjoy the process, but I often feel unsure if I’m heading in the right direction. I recently read an article by Florent Farges about a color mixing exercise that stuck with me. He suggests first finding the pigment (hue) closest to your target color (the tone), then choosing a weaker one to complement it (the base). The tinting ratio he recommends is roughly 60% base, 30% tone, and 10% nuance. It makes sense in theory—but putting it into practice is a whole different story! I end up circling back and forth, asking myself - should continue with this one or start an a new one?
