Colour Schemes

I have refined the colour schemes a little for the water colour workshop "Skating on Thin Ice".
Each colour scheme has 4 -5 transparent colours and their mixes.

Remember that this may not look accurate on your screen!

In Colour Scheme One, I removed Viridian as it looked too synthetic alongside the other colours.
Colour Scheme One: (Greens and Blues)
Lemon yellow
W&N Olive green
Burnt Sienna
French Ultramarine blue
and
Paynes grey (or mix of Ultramarine & Sienna)

Colour Scheme Two (Earths & Blues))
Raw Umber (W&N) or ochre
Burnt Sienna
Indian Red or Brown Madder or Venetian Red
Prussian Blue
and
Small qty. Ultramarine Blue
Any red for mixing – I've used Quin. Red
Paynes Grey (or mix of Ultramarine & Sienna)

Colour Scheme Three (Red, Mauve and Ochre)
Raw Umber (W&N) or ochre
Quinacridone Red (the blueish red)
(or Alizarin which is less permanent)
Quinacrodone Red Y
(or scarlet which is less permanent)
Quinancridone Violet or Manganese Violet
Paynes Grey

Colour Scheme Four (Mostly Blues)
Raw Umber (W&N) or ochre
Cerulean Blue or Manganese Blue
French Ultramarine or Cobalt
Prussian Blue
Burnt Sienna
