Step-by-step Mixing Process
- Start with Magenta: Begin by squeezing a small amount of magenta oil paint onto your palette.
- Add Cadmium Orange: Introduce a tiny amount of cadmium orange to the magenta. Mix thoroughly. The exact amount will depend on the specific orange and magenta shades you're using.
- Incorporate Titanium White: Gradually add titanium white to the mixture to achieve the desired lightness of the pink. Add a little at a time, ensuring you mix well after each addition to avoid going too light.
