Elementary! Elementary, My Dear!

Blue + Yellow = Green 

Yes, that color combination really is elementary to every beginner art student and serious artist! Once we fall in love with combining color with color, there is no stopping the romance. 

Materials for this card: Stratmore 140lb/300g/m Watercolor paper, Blick Studio Acrylic- Phthalo Blue, Arteza - Mid Yellow, and W. A. Portman 1/4 flat.

Today, I would like to challenge you to a color experiment. You can use my simple hand-drawn pattern or one of your own, to mix any two colors using acrylics, watercolor, crayon or pastels, to create a card front. When completed, please post your challenge piece - let everyone see your results - just list the colors you used. (Wish I could offer a reward for taking this challenge, but let your card be your self-reward).
