CREATE your Own Reference Book!
Developing an easy-to-use personal reference guide of your watercolors is always a good idea, and our 66 Dot Try-It Color Card is a great way to get started!

• Cut the 66 Dot Try-It Color Card into 66 reference tabs so that each of the 66 watercolor dots are on their own rectangle.
• Be sure to preserve the information (watercolor name, series number, sku number, and color information) printed on the paper for each color.
• Using sheets of watercolor paper or pages in a Watercolor Journal, staple each reference rectangle onto a page.
  In our example, we used 8.5" x 11 sheets and punched holes so that they could be inserted into a binder later.
• Dip your brush into water, then onto the watercolor dot on the stapled Reference rectangle.
• Take up the pigment and paint it out on your Reference Book page.
• Brush out the released pigment on the paper, experimenting with pigment density and transparency/granulation.
• You can then write in notes about the color, such as Tips and Tricks about Wet onto Wet/Dry Paper Techniques.

Create Mixing References too - combinations that you want to remember and use later.
