    *UPDATE ON THE SKETCHBOOK* I've since used water media in it a few times. It bleeds through a bit pretty quickly, it definitely worked better for gouache. The bleeding through it enough for me not to want to use it even though I love the size, feel, and the way it opens. I also did more layering of media and found the paper to be weak and felt like it wanted to tear. I wouldn't recommend this for someone who wants to use a lot of watercolor or inks.

    I dont know if anyone said this but mixing a nice purple requires special blue pigments. So the red and blue making brown could be the blue having yellow in the pigment

      Abby Mcmains yes! I literally just commented about this very fact and just read yours. I had assumed someone may have picked up on this, but I jumped right ahead and mentioned it too, linking this video ruclips.net/video/mFUwh31gTXo/видео.html which was a real “Aha” moment for me.

    I could be wrong about this and since there’s 60! of them (also someone might have pointed this out already) but when mixing the blue and red together they might have been different tones. Or something XD sorry.
    Someone on here ,I try to find the video ago again, explained it really well with watercolors I believe. All the warm leaning primaries tones would mix together well together where as the cool primaries wouldn’t be as nice in color. You could still take a blue and a red to make purple but it was ... ugly.

    Hey Leigh.. I too prefer mixing my own colours, haha! Sixty is a ridiculous amount of colours, gave me anxiety, in fact, as you opened up that box. I was so up there empathising with you with regards to the frustration of mixing blue and red and expecting purple but getting brown instead but then I remembered this video ruclips.net/video/mFUwh31gTXo/видео.html on colour theory. Don’t get me wrong, you and me both no doubt are all about that colour theory but watch till the end as this girl turns the light bulb on and goes into some deeper stuff about COLOUR MIXING theory!! Yes, colour mixing. Hashtag mind blown. It makes perfect sense now all my years of frustration trying to create orange yet all along it was the wrong *Tone of yellow and red. It’s all about mixing the right cool tone and warm tone primary colours. P.s I’m from the Southern Hemisphere so, no, “colour” is NOT spelt incorrectly! We Aussies spell it the *correct way. Hehe.. love your channel. X
