Many are convenience colors that I just happen to like; for these, I added a side swatch trying to mix that color from my other selections. Quinacridone Rose is interchangeable with Quinacridone Red — I have a tube of each and can’t decide which I prefer. When the Piemontite is used up, I’ll probably replace it with Quinacridone Burnt Scarlet (correction) Lunar Red Rock.
On the reverse side, I made notes of each paint’s pigment code and properties. All are from Daniel Smith except Potter’s Pink, Cobalt Turquoise Light, and Perylene Green — these are from Winsor & Newton.
Vicky what a great way to keep track of your palette of colors. Thanks for sharing. Hope you have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteHello, Debbie! I do something similar every few years to keep track of changes in my pigment preferences over time. Somewhere, I still have a color-mix chart of the first 12 colors recommended by John Lokke, the artist-friend who introduced me to watercolor in 2005!
