Default Re: Mixing primary colors

Bit of both. Sometimes (for example) I'll mix purple from blue and red, sometimes I'll just use a straight violet. Depends on the colour you're after and what you have to hand. It's best to have as much as you can afford (well, within reason anyway - no point buying what you won't use), but primaries go a long way if that's all you've got. Make sure you have warm and cool primaries. If there's any colour you find your inks don't mix well, or that you personally have trouble mixing, try and get that in a stock colour.
