mixing & matching with watercolours

Another tricky media to try out - watercolours.  
There's so many ways of using this flighty media, all of which seem to be designed to trip up experienced users and beginners alike but, we had a go.

We;
  • used green as a starting point to mix different shades of green 
  • used primary colours to mix different greens 
  • deliberately made "mud" also known as neutral colours 
  • we tried colour wheels
  • had a go at replicating the greens found in images  These developed into experimental watercolour paintings.
Phew!
Well done everyone. 
[Ironically, I mixed up your pages of mixed swatches so there's no names on those.  😕]
