Art Journal: Gouache Swatch

/2020/04/art-journal-gouache-swatch/images/2020040501.jpg

This is my new, Arteza Gouache swatch board, based on the layout of the colors in my boxes. The top three rows are in the blue box, and the bottom 3 are the grey box. There are 60 colors, total.

When I did the original swatches, I used paint right from the tube. For this board, water was added to the dried paint and then painted in each rectangle. This is more of a watercolor style and I like the colors much better this way.

I think I’m ready to paint now!
