Demos for Week 20 based on Anne Pratt's artworks

Here’s my (slightly delayed) colour mixing demo using Week 20’s beautiful shades of green.

These were taken from an illustration by Anne Pratt published in her book The Flowering Plants, Grasses, Sedges, and Ferns of Great Britain in late 1800s.

I’ve also updated Week 19’s post by adding in both a mixing demo and an artwork available to everyone.
