CREATE your Own Reference Book!

Developing an easy-to-use personal reference guide of your watercolours is always a good idea, and our 238 Try-It Color Sheet is a great way to get started!

Cut the 238 Try-It Colour Sheet into individual reference tabs so that each of the 238 watercolour dots are on their own rectangle. Be sure to preserve the information (watercolour name, series number, code number, and colour information) printed on the paper for each colour. Using sheets of watercolour paper or pages in a Watercolour Journal, staple each reference rectangle onto a page.

In our example, we used 8.5" x 11 sheets and punched holes so that they could be inserted into a binder later. Dip your brush into water, then onto the watercolour dot on the stapled Reference rectangle. Take up the pigment and paint it out on your Reference Book page. Brush out the released pigment on the paper, experimenting with pigment density and transparency/granulation. You can then write in notes about the colour, such as Tips and Tricks about Wet onto Wet/Dry Paper Techniques. Create Mixing References too - combinations that you want to remember and use later. Watch the video demo for more information. (demo shows 66 dot try-it card) 

Please note: we do not stock every colour on this chart but any colour can be ordered in.
