Do you have a list of comparative mixes using the Michael Wilcox School of Colour watercolour paints for recognized and most-used colours, i.e. what do I mix to get a Rose Madder Genuine or Cadmium Orange? I am new to your method, learning all the time, but this would help in the changeover from some of my usual colours Or are these mentioned in any of your books?

It is definitely worth mixing the equivalent of Rose Madder Genuine as this is a disastrous material which fades rapidly as a watercolour A touch of Phthalocyanine Green into Quinacridone Violet will give a similar dulled, transparent violet-red.
Cadmium Orange is invariably a mix of Cadmium Yellow Light and Cadmium Red Light, you will already have these colours in your new range.
You will find how to mix these and the equivalent of many other standard (and usually pre-mixed) colours in either our "Colour Mixing Swatch Book", in "Blue and Yellow Don't Make Green" or in one of our colour mixing courses.
