It seems that on a thread members are mentioning how difficult it is to find some right colours when it comes to green.
I have said it before, but just in case, I make my own green. I have never had one in my palette in any medium except pastel.
In watercolour, my first layer is with :
Winsor yellow + Cerulean (it is fresh and vibrant)
Cerulean + Winsor Blue + Winsor Lemon
For darker green :
Winsor Blue + Raw Umber mixed with Burnt Umber.
or
Ultramarine + Burnt Sienna
----------------------
Cerulean + Raw Sienna give a lovely shade of green too.
