Here’s how I use tones to mix my colors, creating soft and airy petals. First, I start with mixing a warm or cool tone, before adding in my colors. I try and get the value of the colour approximately where I want it to be before adding in the hue.
Doing this creates a soft colour mix, one that is still bright and cheerful, but not overly saturated. This is particularly effective when you use a wide range of cool and warm tones throughout flower, which creates depth and contrast but keeps the petals feeling light and airy.
