Before the end of the 18th century, artists had to mix their own watercolour using pigments and a binder. While this practice was lengthy, it also gave them incredible control and knowledge over colour theory. There is also a meditative element about the process of mixing paint - a slow and gratifying movement to empty the mind of negativity and fill it with creativity. Now, you too can learn this traditional technique and start making your own watercolours!
