WATERCOLOR SWATCHING Mix Chart: ARCHES 100 percent cotton color mixing worksheet

Lately, a number of painters have requested a little bit more out of my mixing sheets. Artists are seeking consistent, beautiful, and stable benchmarks, and for those who want to take their swatching to the next level, there are few satisfactory options. This set of mixing chart sheets changes that.

My swatch sheets are available printed directly onto Arches 140 lb cold press paper.

I created these color mixing chart sheets as a tool for my own color organization and to help demonstrate color mixing in the watercolor classes I teach, and I loved them so much I truly believe they'll be awesome for other folks, too!

Whether you teach, paint professionally, paint for fun, or just love color - these ready-printed sheets are a fantastic way to keep the watery mayhem of watercolor in a consistent shape and place.

While a lot of you may want to print a file like this yourself, a lot of home printers do NOT create the water-resistant print that you will need, and they will NOT handle the thick 140 pound paper that even a simple swatch sheet needs to convey all the details you'll want to track.

I've printed these sheets for you, cut to a convenient letter size (8.5x11.) There is a color list area at the top of the sheet to write in the details about all 12 colors to be intermixed. This is followed by a paintable, neat, no-bleed grid of .5x.5 inch squares. It's both calming and useful to make grid-style color mixing charts to understand the general relationships between colors as you add them to your palette. I find a 12 color palette to be a thoughtful and versatile way to paint, and I think you'll love the challenge of finding your twelve favorites in relation to each other!

You'll love having these handy sheets add some neatness and consistency to a process that can be very scattered at the best of times!

Sheets are sold in packs of six and twelve, and ship in a rigid mailer and a plastic sleeve.

Once more : this listing is for PHYSICAL PRINTED sheets on genuine ARCHES paper.
