a mix challenge

You can buy about any color of powder paint on the market that you want but this will be about using some base colors to make a custom mix.

Lets see the color that you can come up with by mixing these 3 colors together. Try to use no more than a table spoon of each color or less. Use glitter if you like but keep track of how much you use in your recipe.

1. red
2. yellow
3. blue

Post your recipe that you use and a pic of your painted jig, spoon.
Remember it is about enjoying your time and learning more about our hobby. :)

Hmm sounds like brown! I'll try to play tonight.

Oh sure Stump!!!! Had everything out why the grand daughter was out of the house and didn't see this till now!!!!! I'll have to play around with this one too LOL!!!

Nice color mix Len. Your finished jig colors look great :)

Ha yalls turned out much better than my first attempt! I aint posting a pic of it. THink i'll add more blue!

Nice jigs guys.

Len - great looking color mix!!!!!!! Gonna have to add that one!!! Tie it up with some pheasant feathers and hackle.

Stump - I've added glitter to paint before and it never shows up!!!!!! I'm pretty much taking clear and adding my glitter to it then doing a brush tap or use the fluid bed.

Trying to get some time to play with mixing.
