How do you create black in watercolor?
Today's Art Q and A
Q - How do you create black in watercolor?
A - While black is available in watercolor tubes or pan paints usually it is often rather flat in tone and it is preferred to mix your own black. A simple method is to use two parts ultramarine blue with one part red and one part yellow. The method can vary according to the brand and type of paint you are using. Most of what I have seen on the internet recommends equal parts of these primary colors but it usually ends up giving you a more dark brown shade than a good solid black. Mixing in extra blue usually will provide much better results. When bleeding out this mix with water the result will provide a much more satisfying tone as well.
