Hello friends! I'm excited to share some fun watercoloring with you today - especially for those who panicked without a brown watercolor in the sweet new Avery Elle watercolor set. (If you do people or animals, you might have noticed that quickly!) But after today - you're gonna be equipped to deal with any hair or bear that might come your way!
First, a little factoid about color: Brown is made from yellow, red, and blue! In equal parts (which is nearly impossible to manually mix) you'd get a very middle of the road brown, nice and rich and even. Add extra red and you have a ruddy brown. A little more yellow and it'll push it more toward a sand color. More blue and it may get deeper/darker, or turn more grey (which can also be a useful color!)
So let's get started and I'll show you how to play around with mixes. Ready?

Fun and easy, right? Well, okay, I get it. It would certainly be easier if I could say "Dip once into the Fizz, once into Sapphire, and half a dip each into Cherry and Celery!" But...alas, that's why they call it art, not science, right?
To put the finishing touches on my card, I used a dotted border die (links to all the supplies are at the end of the post), and popped it up on some dimensional adhesive. That's it! Here's the chart I made with the colors - feel free to pin it for reference to decide what colors you'd like to try out. Lemon Grass, Sugar Plum, and Aquamarine are kinda my favorites so far!
I hope you'll be daring and try mixing some unique colors - it's fun to experiment!
