The Best Way to Swatch Watercolor

The Best Way to Swatch Watercolors : Full Blog post : / the-best-way-to-swatch...
*Swatching watercolors can be a fun and exciting process, but it can also be overwhelming at times. With so many different paints and shades available, it can be difficult to know where to start. However, by approaching the process from the right perspective, you can create swatches that not only showcase the beauty of the paints, but also help you understand how to use them effectively.
Why Swatching is Important
Swatching is an essential step for any watercolor artist, whether you're a beginner or an experienced painter. Without swatching, it's difficult to know how a paint will behave on the paper or how it will mix with other colors. By swatching your paints, you can:
- Get a better understanding of the paint's transparency, texture, and flow
- See how the paint interacts with different types of paper
- Test out different mixing combinations and create a reference chart
- Experiment with different brush strokes and techniques

I was just browsing the internet to find out if ideally a swatch was to be made wet on wet, wet on dry or both and how to do it correctly. Then I found this video and a new world opened itself up to me. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!
