Hey guys! I intentionally do not make a clear distinction between value (darkness or lightness) and chroma (saturation) in this video in order not to complicate things for beginners. Of course, there are many ways to change the chroma and the value.
This one is a very easy and basic way to do so, therefore helpful as a first step to start somewhere.
In the future, I plan to make a bit longer and more comprehensive video to provide a more detailed explanation and demonstration of the variety of mixing strategies.

Wow I never thought using that tool like that! I will definietly try it next time I bring myself to one of the many canvases I still have around the house.
