I have been looking for a way for a very long time to chart my wartercolors.....Hey, a chart works great........until you add new colors. Then what? You have to start all over if you want to keep your color families together.
Now I am sure that none of what I am doing is new. In fact, I started with this idea years ago, but the materials were not very good and they still may not be. Time will tell. I have ordered plastic coin holders that fit the swatch stamp made by Danielle Donaldson. You can stamp and quickly cut a bunch out and have them ready to paint and write the info on. Very quick and they are cute too. She has a lot of different styles. You should go check it out and order something from her market here. You really have to see more of these cuties!

Go to Danielle Donaldson’s website and go to her Market section. She has a lot of interesting stamps to choose from.
So I have decided to showcase two watercolor-colors that I own as often as possible. That means talking about my favorite company.....Ta-da-da-da!!Daniel Smith and their fabulous, beautiful and earthy colors as well as a few other companies that have colors that are simply beautiful. So here goes......the first two colors I want to show off and talk about. I made my own swatches until my stamps come. I am going to make these two swatches again. I don’t like how the “notes” section looks. At least I will move the letters closer together, but I may leave a small amount unpainted on the right side and write them after turning the swatch 90 degrees to the left......just not sure yet but I know I don’t like the way it looks currently. But the information about granulating and transparent and staining are very important to me.
