colour modifying.

This post is about modifying colour, it is colour mixing, but carefully, so that you keep the colour still looking blue, using blue, I was using acrylic, and used cyan crimson and lemon yellow, and white. The idea is to modify the blue with small amounts of the other colours but keeping within the range of blue. so a little bit of red, , then same with some white, then a little bit of lemon, then same with white, then a little bit of red and lemon, and again same with a white. 

Finally I tried to mix as dark as I could, obviously no white this time mostly blue and red with a little lemon, too much of the latter would lighten it, you ought to be able to get something quite dark. Then add white to see if you have got a grey.

The point of this is to mix colours in a controlled manner making small but visible modifications. Colour mixing step by step.
