How to Mix Oil Paint
The hardest part when it comes to painting is mixing the right color. I’ve been asked numerous times: “How do you mix your colors correctly?” I feel dumb-struck when I hear that question. I really don’t know how I mix the colors “correctly”, it just happens. You might picture me with a brill set of oil paint and dear brushes, but in reality my collection consists of five tubes and simple brushes I find on sale at an art supply store. There my top secret published — now take notes! I found this great guide for beginners and intermediate painters who want to know how to “correctly” mix colors. I wouldn’t try it myself since I’m a genius 
jk but thought this would answer the question.

These are acrylics you’re using right? I’m not familiar on how to mix acrylics would love to give you advice but I prefer oils.

The RGB screen I quickly measured with a spectrophotometer was made with the following: Galeria Cadmium Red Hue PR112 Galeria Phthalo Green PG7 Galeria Winsor Blue PB15:3 When mixing up the mix I added more Red then any other color and the result was lack of a Red spike in the Redish colors on the color graph. I don’t know what to think of the result.
