The one detail most beginners stress about the most? Color mixing...and it doesn't have to be stressful, and here's a watercolor mixing tutorial to help you understand why. You do not need to mix on a watercolor palette. It is almost entirely unnecessary! I let my pigments mix themselves on the page with water, a bit of brushwork and gravity!

There are definitely some benefits to mix colors on the page!
Keeps things less stressful especially for beginners
Allows the natural beauty of the watercolor paint to show off
Frees you of worry over running out of that perfect color you mixed

Let's do this!
