I went to a local store and picked up a range of paint chips. You know the ones with six values of the same colour. I cut them apart and placed them in a bag. I randomly chose a paint chip and then I tried to figure out what goes into creating the actual colour. I did it in both watercolour and acrylic. I plan to do this daily just to get really comfortable with the paints that I am using.
The nice part about doing colour swatches is if I run into a colour I am not sure what is in it I can go back to all my references and hopefully there will be the answer.
We are 17 days away from the end of the month…ahhh but who is counting…obviously I am! I will be giving away an original 5×7 watercolour painting and two sets of cards! Do you have your name in yet?
Thanks for stopping by and see you soon.
Good grief that’s amazing! I really find that completely amazing!

And I figure out the colour bias of my paints, and which ones go together so I don’t get “mud”. Its like a win win situation! 😉
