Not all water colour paintings need to be precise. You can create fabulous results with a more lose aproach. What you have to watch out for, is to avoid layering different colours endlessly. It loses the effect and it may result in loss of brightness.
The colours tend to dull when mixed too often. What makes it brighter is the fact that you keep layering the colours in proximity. For example, if you painting cold colours then blues could be mixed to give it an enriched texture. If you're to apply a different colour, then it can it either move towards green or purple.
But mixing green and purple can be more difficult and this should be experimented on the side before laying the watercolour onto the final paper. If it still seems difficult or odd, try colour harmonies.
