I teach art to small groups in my home studio. With just 4 in a group gathered around my table we follow the interests of the group while chatting.

Last week we went right back to basics - colour mixing. Although my groups have been using acrylics for some time, they often ask about how to mix colours so we spent a morning making some charts. None of them realised how time consuming it could be or how much they learned from mixing the colours by finding tones and mixing in white.

They will keep their colour charts here to use.

When I was clearing away, I thought how lovely the palettes looked that they had been mixing on and took a few photos. Little artworks of their own!
