How to Save Time
From the Studio Desk of:
Some reasons to Make a Chart to fill colors in:
A small oil painting kit might start you out painting in oils with easy water cleanup, but as you accumulate other colors, a true color chart of actual oil paint itself, can help you decide what new paint to get. This chart here is designed so you can print out on to some canvas sheets and then paint your own hues, shades, and tints. Let it dry and you can take it with you on the go to use as a guide. Instead of just looking at a chart of colors, actually painting in the tints yourself will help you learn what colors are made from adding white or black to it. Also you can use it to look at what colors to use when you're in the studio painting. In each square of the chart, a scan of the true color from out of the tube is shown starting from the left in the table squares, and is tinted with white to show the variation of hues that color makes, as well as show how similar colors will still produce different shades, tones, and mixes. Save time and paint in your own Color Chart. It may take a little extra time the first time, but will save you time every other time after that, which will add up as you go back to many paintings or store trips. This is for the Winsor & Newton Artisan Water Mixable Oil Colours. This is what the chart looks like that you can download below:

Well, why waste your
time doing those test strips over and over again each time, when you can just
print out a sheet, and paint on it once for easy reference?
