Whenever you add a watercolor set to your collection, it’s always a fantastic idea to make a watercolor color chart. In this tutorial, I’ll show you how to make a chart that will be useful for years to come!
Before you use a new set of watercolor paints, you should always make a watercolor color chart. Oftentimes, paints look totally different in the pan than they do on paper, so a color chart gives you an accurate idea of what to expect! It also helps you to choose a color by providing a nice “cheat sheet”. Today, I’ll show you how to make a simple, portable, and pretty watercolor color chart.
There are many different watercolor palette configurations, but nearly all palettes feature a case that you can tuck your color chart into. It’s an excellent idea to keep your chart with your watercolors so it doesn’t get lost! To get started, open up your palette and think about where you’d like to keep your chart. Then, use a ruler to measure the length and width of that area.
