Color wheel and Neutralizing colors

A color wheel I made by paint of Gauche. Same thing for the neutralizing colors.

The wheel:

I found that Magenta is actually a very strong color.  Even if you only add a little, it will affect the result a lot. It’s just not easy to control, therefore, I feel the colors in the upper left of the wheel is easier to get than the rest of the colors.

However, I found the most difficult part is to get the neutral color.  I spent much time on this part. I found I can not really feel the hue on the palette until you paint it on the paper.  I guess this is because the hue is too subtal to be found in palette.

Neutralizing:

I basically mixed the colors in palette, instead of on paper.  I tried the way in the hint - paint one color on the paper first, then add different amount of the opposite color onto it… however, it doesn’t work for me… It seems that the colors don’t mix together on paper, the opposite color will simply cover the original color.

It’s very hard to adjust how much amount of white and black we should add to the colors to make it tint and saturated.  I guess we will have all different results.

I chose magenta for the greyed one.
