Welcome to the Party!

Normally you'd start by combining equal parts blue and yellow on your palette – this gives you a basic green. Since our paints include two greens, I started with those. Want a brighter, more lively green? Add more yellow to create a lime or spring green. For deeper, forest-like tones, add a touch more blue, viridian, or even a dab of black. Mix small amounts at a time and blend thoroughly for the best results.

 Blue is a primary color, but mixing different blues opens up a world of possibilities for stunning skies and realistic water! For bright sky blues, lighten your blue with white – the more white you add, the softer and more cloud-like it becomes. Create tropical turquoise waters by adding a tiny drop of green or yellow to your blue. For dramatic stormy skies or deep ocean scenes, mix in a touch of black or purple for rich, moody blues. Want that perfect sunset sky? Add just a hint of red or pink to create a periwinkle shade.  

 Start with equal parts red and blue on your palette – these are your foundation colors. Want a warmer, more vibrant purple? Add a touch more red to create a red-violet. Prefer a cooler, calmer tone? Add extra blue for a blue-violet. The key is to start with small amounts and mix gradually, as acrylics dry quickly and a little paint goes a long way.  

Getting that petal perfect pink can take some time...it's worth it!

Pink is one of the most beloved colors at paint parties, and it's incredibly easy to mix! Start with white as your base and gradually add small amounts of red until you reach your desired shade – remember, a little red goes a long way! For soft, romantic pinks like blush or rose, use just a drop or two of red. Want a vibrant hot pink? Add more red and try a tiny touch of purple or magenta for extra pop. Create coral pinks by mixing in a hint of orange or yellow for warmth. The key to beautiful pinks is patience – add color slowly and mix thoroughly, as it's much easier to darken than to lighten.
