Finding my colors (Study: Mixing colors)

Mixing colors

After making my first drawing with my new pencil box I’m a bit at a loss.

Until now I would look into my (old) 72 set pencil box and chose colors that best fit the drawing I wanted to make. But now I can make a few hondred colors and I don’t even know what they look like. Every time I mix two (or more) colors I get a surprise. A nice surprise in that I get very nice colors. But you can’t draw if you don’t know what colors you have.

Test

Over the next week I will test which colors I can make by mixing two pencils with each other. Today I mixed the first four color pencils in my box with every other color.
