    How do I mix leaf green paint? Can I make watercolors from gouache? What brushes should I use?
    Community Answer
    To make leaf green paint, start with the basic green and add a tiny bit of blue, and go from there. Experiment until you find the right shade. And yes, you can take any paint and turn it into a watercolor by adding water or any other liquid. The brushes you use should vary. It depends on what you are painting, what you are painting on, and the paint itself. For example, if you are using watercolor, then try to find brushes with thicker bristles. For acrylic paint, try brushes with soft, but slightly firm bristles.
