Mixing Colors (Blue)

You can create a variety of blue shades just by mixing colors. Try mixing navy blue with white. By adding more white, you will get a lighter shade of blue. This can be used to create the sky. I like to vary the shades when drawing an ocean scene. I start with a dark blue towards the horizon then a lighter blue as I color towards the sand. If you add green to the lighter blue, you will get an aqua color. I also add touches of aqua to the ocean. Try blending different shades of blue to create your own unique color.
