Daniel Smith Fine Watercolour 5ml Range Dot Try-It Card

CREATE your Own Reference Book!
Developing an easy-to-use personal reference guide of your watercolours is always a good idea, and our 66 Try-It Colour Sheet is a great way to get started!

• Cut the 5ml Range Try-It Colour Sheet into 88 reference tabs so that each of the 88 watercolour dots are on their own rectangle.
• Be sure to preserve the information (watercolour name, series number, sku 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.
