Hello and welcome to The Gold Coast Art School channel!

This week we're mixing purple, a fantastic, exciting colour. But if you've tried mixing this yourself, you may have been left disappointed. Yes, you can make purple with red and blue, but it's often a more organic, muted, or dark purple. That might be exactly what you're looking for, but a lot of students are searching for brighter, more vibrant shades.

Today, Stephen shows you how to mix these bright purples using a special colour that is more like magenta. This particular paint colour is a special one to have in your kit! It behaves differently to red and pink when mixed with blue, and you'll love it.
