I have never done one at all because I did not understand how to do it. Your lesson here is very helpful and I will try doing one soon. I can see how it would be very helpful when painting.
@@AndyBeckTeesdale i guess I didn't understand at first why yellow is in the first box of the large 12 colors. But now I get it, its to display the colors at hand that will be in the charts.
I did the same as this using my W and N field palette plus two extra colours, but I didn’t leave a margin between each colour mix. I managed to create 105 colours including originals. I was very impressed.
I’ve never had the patience to do one of these colour charts. But thanks so much for sharing your own colour chart and sharing how you did it. Better you than me 😂
taking time to learn how to mix colours in a chart like this is well worth it. It can help to prevent producing paintings with dull, muddy colours. Besides, you dont have to use as many colours as I did, why not just try it with 6?
@@AndyBeckTeesdale I much prefer to paint mixes in a colour wheel or randomly, but sort-of-tastefully (😂), across a page. It helps me more since the mixing method is much close to what I would do when I am actually painting.
@@awatercolourist yes, I used to mix "randomly" but the chart gave me better knowledge of how to produce clean, bright colours. If you are happy with what you do, thats fine. The film is there purely to help those whoare setting out on their painting journey. :)
Amazing job Andy! I have made many many color charts from 3 x 5 to quarter sheet and most of them have been pretty much useless. You are the first person I have seen start with a palette for a specific environment. Quite refreshing! I do have an index of all my paints by pigment numbers on 2.5 x 3.5 Arches 140 lb. cold press paper. They fit into plastic sheets designed for baseball cards with 9 on the front and 9 on the back. I will try to send you a picture as one picture is worth 1000 words.
Wonderful Video Andy. You are obviously a very neat person and it shows. Your a good teacher too as you take time to explain carefully how things go and work etc. Thanks for uploading.....very inspiring......cheers, Laurence.
Thank you for the kind comment Laurence. I was worried that the video was too long but I balanced it with the thought that some less experienced artist need as much information as possible.
Hi Andy. I haven’t made a chart before but feel inspired to do so now! Starting off with cadmium red was very helpful. It’s such a strong, permanent pigment - I get a bit ‘frit’ of it! Hope you’re well. Laura K
Hi Laura, thanks for the comment. Glad that this has inspired yuo to do one. You could do a practice one with only 6 colours and then go on to a bigger one. They are actually quite fun to do as well as being good experience. You could of course set the colours out light to dark if the strong red is intimidating .
Well Explained Mr Andy Becker about mixing various water colour paints as explained in your chart. But sorry to say, that after mixing each of the different colours, the new colour that is derived namely the darker version and the one with the water mix in the ratio 50 : 50, what are the names of these new colours as the prints are so tiny that these are not able to be seen properly. So if you could just write or type these out separately, it will be very good. Thank you so much and God bless you. Wilfred Coelho
Hi Wildred, thanks for watching and for your question. I am not too sure which names of the new colours you are referring too? The only names of colours are the ones of the tube colours, each new pigment after mixing is just a variation colour, these dont have actual names. I hope this helps.
Have you ever made one of these charts for yourself? How was it different? Feel free to share tips and suggestions here.

Hi I dont understand how you made this chart even with the demo can you make a more simple demo.
Hi @@LynnMLombardo which aspect of making the chart do you not understand and I will try and explain it in words for you.

That was very nice! Thank you so much! I am a beginer in watercolor painting and I am enjoying so much your videos 😊👏👏👏👏 Cheers from Barcelona!
Wonderful Video Andy. Thank you so much! I
Thank you Betty for watching and for taking time to comment.
Thank you Andy. I found this very informative!
Very welcome Susan
