Current Experiments:
Digital Color Mixing
Our technological advancements have not successfully replicated a subtractive RGB mixing palette. Programs such as the Adobe Creative Suite, Procreate, Chip Paint Studio, etc., cannot replicate the color mixing processes learned in primary and secondary education. A solution was created by the developers at Secret Weapons; the result was Mixbox. Here are Mixbox comparisons, which include physical mixed paint:

As a result, I employ a combination of gradients, opacity, layer order, layer mixing or subjectively disgusting colors. My experiments are ongoing, but here are a few color studies I completed on Procreate:
