When you're looking at mixing colors with primaries, try to remember little changes can have a big impact. Adding the tiniest amount of magenta to your yellow can make it much warmer and brighter. Adding a small amount of white to your magenta can make it much pinker. Primary colors are red yellow and blue. Secondary colors are green purple and orange. You lighten or "Tint" a color using white. You " Shade"  or darken the color using black.  In this set Magenta is the red. All of the colors can be a little bit transparent because they're modern colors. You may ask yourself, "what if I don't have the exact color I see her painting with?" My answer to you would be don't worry, use what you have. You get a  slightly different result than I do, but you will essentially get the same painting. I include the colors that I use so you can know exactly what is happening. The worksheet above is created to give you a quick reminder about how we get brighter oranges and darker oranges. How we make very bright purples or darker purples.

Brushstrokes 

When you're painting water there's a couple important things to remember. Make sure that your waterline at the Horizon is level. As you are painting reflections through water keep those level even as you zigzag through the painting. Try to think of the water is a reflective mirror that is rippling. The reflections in shadows that are painting our about that reflective mirror. As artists we can use color to be playful with this. But it is important to remember that there is a little bit of perspective that we still need to represent in our painting. Brushstrokes of reflections that are further away should be smaller and closer together. Brushstrokes there closer to us showing reflections that are nearer should be longer, brighter, and a little further apart. The railroad tracks the way up close they are equally distance and open to the eye but as they move away from us they take on the appearance of being  closer together.
