I love color mixing and I think you will too once you jump in and get your feet wet. You can search for 'split palette build' to find resources on this. But I'd recommend you buy a very small palette and just start mixing from that limited pool of colors. Try the Sennelier Aqua Mini. It is a travel palette that comes with 8 colors and only cost about $20. The paint is creamy, rich and mixes well. The only disappointment is the brown (umber), which is too weak. You can mix tons of colors with just the yellow, red, ultramarine and Payne's Grey in this set, but it also has a nice selection of greens and lighter blue to play with. The goal is to limit yourself to simplify the process. I was able to mix every color except pinks, peaches, and pastels with that palette. Mix each color with each of the other colors in a 50/50 mixture, and you get 64 different hues. From only 8 pans. The red and yellow make a lovely orange, the ultramarine plus red makes a nice purple, etc. Once you've swatched out those 64 colors, you can experiment with adding the Payne's Grey to get darker colors, or mixing 3 colors. I like to mix the yellow, red, and ultramarine to get brown, then add Payne's Grey to make it a nice dark neutral. After you get comfortable with mixing those, add a Quinacridone Magenta to make pinks. If you want pastels, add in Buff Titanium. For instance, add Buff Titanium to the orange you mixed before, now you have a soft peach. To help you, I'd suggest you buy the Color Wheel Company's classic color wheel, which was only about $6. Select a color, and it will tell you what you will get if you add blue, red, or yellow. I also have the CMY Primary Mixing Wheel, because I use magenta a lot. With just two items (the Sennelier palette and the classic color wheel) you can experiment and learn to mix on your own. The only rule you need to memorize is all three primaries (red, blue, yellow or cyan, magenta, yellow) will make brown. So never use 3 primaries together unless you want brown, of course! Once you get the hang of it, you can go back to using all your paints. But the limited palette will really help you get there. Good luck!

Fantastic, that's wonderful news! Good luck with it. Thank you.
