Your purple will always be greyed and your green never fully saturated unless you appreciate that its cyan and magenta, not blue and red that are primary. Otherwise a great video. See my video 'the Truth About The Colour Wheel for a full explanation.

@scottnaismith Hi Scott...Thanks for the comment and I agree entirely that in practice one must learn which hues give the desired results. It's true that if you want lively greens you should use "blues" that are actually cyan-type colors such as manganese blue or pthalo blue. Ultramarine does yield "muddier" greens. Your video is most informative.

how do you fix the drips?i always mess up that way )x

[1boxcob]

@ZombieZillah If you apply some clean water to the drip right away and immediately blot it with a dry tissue, you can usually clean it up pretty well. You have to do this before it dries or has a chance to soak in and stain the paper. I'll try to demo this in a future video.
