RE: RYB vs CYMK color model for traditional art
great tutorial on interesting subject. I'm really learning more about it every day. What pigments are your cyan, magenta and yellow? I'd love if yo make some pigments by cost comparison later on. Cheers!

Thanks @jnart! Yup, me too. I'm still learning everyday!
I just discovered this cool community last night. ;) Thank you for the link though.. (to any curious artists who may read this - it's a great art community filled with steemians. ;))
Uhm, for oil, I use pv19 - permament rose, cadmium lemon, and phthalo blue (green-shade). Although for oil, they sell more magenta version you may want to try, but I just prefer rose. It's the beauty of CMYK wheel, it's somewhat flexible. In gouaches, I use Primary red, primary yellow, and primary blue (weird names for CMY). I'm afraid I can't answer on watercolors. It's a gift from my now deceased grandma, she was an artist - its booklet with pigment info is all blackened from the use. My best guess is phthalo blue (it behaves similarly?) and cadmium lemon - but I have no idea about that red I've used. It is on the cool side of red though.
Okay, I'll start with blues since I actually collected them the most. I was pretty obsessed to find that perfect blue and became interested in every pigment's unique characteristics. 😆 It might be a while before I can complete it though. I had to put oil paints away for a time being. Please bear with me. <3
Cheers!

Take your time and be sure to inform me when it is done! And thanks for your cmyk choices! I might do a similar one about watercolor colour wheel in the future. ...and great that you found the forum. I haven't so much time to be active there but there are lots of great artists. Cheers!
Aye, I will @jnart :) Yeah, the point is to experiment and get a feeling of how it works, depending on your personal taste. I was just showing the best way to achieve the highest chroma with limited colors - it doesn't mean it'll work for everyone. Some artists work with Zorn palette which is even more limited than RYB wheel. So who knows. :)
Cheers! :)
