I have a big pantone matching system, where i can find lots of colors which i like and i want to paint some of them to my canvas.

I read about basic color mixing, but it doesn't help me much. Maybe anyone can give me advices how to create the same colors.
I want to repeat the works of Gene Davis such as:

I'm not trying to copy his style, i'm just learning.
Would be very appreciated for ur help, links, etc.

In Photoshop, there is a series of PANTONE swatches- solid uncoated, coated, etc.
