I think a good way to learn to mix color is to grab an old school zorn painting or you know something with a pallette of red, yellow, black, and white (and blue.) Then color pick on digital, a random spot in the painting, then mix the colors with brushes digitally until you can match the color as close as you can. This way, you don't have to set up a drawing, paints, cleaning brushes, etc. and you can purely improve on mixing color :)
Then, as you get better at it, find different photos and paintings and try to match those colors, you can mix about 60% at least of visible colors with just those five above, it's a lot of fun when you get better at it too, plus it saves on supplies!
