Easy Sage Green Recipe with Acrylic Paints

What You’ll Need:

  • Drawlish Acrylic Paint in Green

  • Drawlish Acrylic Paint in White

  • Drawlish Acrylic Paint in Gray (optional for muted tone)

  • Drawlish Acrylic Paint in Blue or Yellow (for warm or cool variations)

Step-by-Step Mixing:

1. Start with Green

Squeeze a small amount of Drawlish Green Acrylic Paint onto your palette as your base.

2. Add White Slowly

Mix in Drawlish White little by little. This lightens the green into a soft pastel. Stop when you reach a pale, minty shade.

3. Muted Tones = Sage Magic

Now, mix in a touch of gray from the Drawlish Gray Paint to tone down the brightness and make it more muted. This is where it transforms into that signature sage green.

4. Adjust to Your Mood

  • Want it a bit cooler? Add a tiny amount of Drawlish Blue.

  • Prefer a warmer sage? Add a dab of Drawlish Yellow instead.

Pro Tip: Always test your colour on a scrap paper and let it dry acrylics can darken slightly when dry!
