Read together

Aya: We need orange for the sun. Red and yellow together?

Ben: Stir slowly. Yes — bright orange. Not brown yet.

Aya: For the grass I want green. Blue plus yellow?

Ben: Perfect green. Save a little blue for the sky.

Aya: Pink for the flowers — red with white.

Ben: And purple from red and blue for the shadows.

Aya: Brown for the tree trunk? Maybe orange with a touch of black.

Ben: Careful — too much black turns it muddy. Soft brown is enough.

Aya: White clouds last. Keep the palette clean between colors.

Ben: Red, yellow, blue, then orange, green, pink, purple, brown, black, white.

Aya: Our painting has every color we mixed. Ready to dry in the sun!
