Swatching Optimized Water Colour Palette. Random Art Fun


 Now that the paint palette is optimized. I do like that I was able to get six rows of colours instead of the original four. You can use magnets or double sided sticky tape if you don't want your hands moving around. But I find they're pretty stable on their own. Guess it depends how passionately you paint. I was inspired to swatch colours out in a more random manner by watching Kristy Rice swatching and organizing her watercolours. Watch here.

It's all about having fun and letting the water colours flow together and not worrying about making everything perfect. And in the end, I ended up with some incidental cool abstract art. 

Colour is watching is a good idea simply because a lot of watercolour ones it is dried or Harden, it's so dark you can't tell what colour it really is. Even under the tube once you water it down, hence the name watercolours, you don't really get to see the true colours. Many times I've seen paint pallets and thought boring, they all look like the same color, dark! But once the person starts to switch out the colours you realize how beautiful and individual they all are.

Sit back and enjoy
