Leslie Frontz, Courtyard, Assisi, 11" × 8½", watercolor on paper.

This watercolor is painted almost entirely with muted colors. We are mistaken when we think of these as being dull and dreary. They are both rich and subtle.

Mixing Light and Dark Colors

With dark pigments, we can obtain a full range of values by adding water. Lighter pigments present some challenges. To deepen their value, we must mix them with darker pigments.

The result is a change in color as well as value. The color of the mix will fall between the two. We can lessen this effect by adding a darker pigment in the same color family.

There are no dark primary yellows. In fact, we might struggle to visualize such a thing. Mixed with yellow, raw sienna gives us a broader value range of golden hues. We can complete the value range by mixing yellow with burnt umber.
