How TO DO THE COLOUR PURPOSE the way you imagined it

About purple mixture of coloursTake into account that there are several combinations that you can make the desired result. Below, we give you various advice and combinations with which you can make purple with gouache:

• To make a soft purple colour or give it a warmer shade, mix a greater amount of red. Sometimes purple tends to be a little redder than violet or lilac. To do this, you will need to add a little magenta to the light violet mixture. If you want to make it even softer, just add a little white.
• If you wish to obtain a darker purpleJust do the opposite: add small drops of black paint, but not many, as there is a likelihood of discoloration.
• You can put some magenta and cyan in a small container to move them later. With a small amount you can already know if this is really the color you want. If you want to produce a larger quantity just double the portions, but always keeping the same proportion.

It is important that each colour used in the mixture is pure, i.e. that it does not have traces of other colours, that it has not been obtained from other mixtures. First, make sure that the first mixture is completely uniform, otherwise the traces of the other color may interfere with the mixture, affecting the final product: in this case, the purple color you want.
