To pour 2 colors together, have two pots or cups hot and ready with the colors you want. Make sure you pour the second color almost immediately after your first pour so the colors will blend together. If you do a search on the forum for "pouring 2 colors" or "pouring veins", you can find some cool information.

You can find the oxblood color in the new Lure Craft catalog. There are different variations of oxblood. Some are cinnamon, reddish/brown, reddish/orange, reddish/purple, etc. Lure Craft's version is more of an orange or pumpkin color.

You can also make your own oxblood by mixing small amounts of red and pumpkin or purple and pumpkin, depending on what shade you're looking for.

You need to aquire a copy of THE COLOR WHEEL which will teach you all about the theory and art of mixing colors. Once you learn this you will have mastered the art of making ANY AND ALL COLORS. This is known as COLOR THEORY.

Primary Colors are the basic building blocks of ALL KNOWN COLORS.

Red

Yellow

Blue

Secondary Colors are a mixture of two primary colors and consist of Orange, Green and Violet.

Red + Yellow = Orange

Yellow + Blue = Green

Blue + Red = Violet

Intermediate Colors are a mixture of one secondary color and one primary color.

(Orange) + Red = Red Orange

(Orange) + Yellow = Yellow Orange

(Green) + Yellow = Yellow Green

(Green) + Blue = Blue Green

(Violet) + Blue = Blue Violet

(Violet) + Red = Red Violet

Black and White are non-color substances that do not add color but either darken or lighten an already existing color. Grey dulls.

Black + White = Grey.........Grey dulls.

For example......White lightens, this is called a TINT.

Examples of common tints.

Red + White = Pink

Red + White = Sky Blue

Green + White = Mint Green

For example......Black darkens, this is called a SHADE.

Examples of common shades.

Blue + Black = Midnight Blue.

Red + Black = Crimson Red.

Green + Black = Fir Green.

The best way to check or practice your colors is to get a copy of the color wheel and a box of crayola crayons and sit down and start mixing colors.

Chris has a answer for about any color delema anyone has, Like E.F. hutton, when he speaks evreyone listens!

But one thing is true, evreyone has a twist on any color made. I add Violate hi-lite into my basic oxblood, Gives it a pretty cool affect.

One thing is what ever you do , write down your colors when you find somthing you will use, or want to make later.
