When making this color card, you can feel that the pigment and water concentration is different, the color depth is different.
The method is learned in this book
Share the color card making method in the book.
1, playing the color card grid
2, take red as an example, drawing color cards
The first shade: "the concentration of yogurt"
Dandelion brush inserted into the water jar, the brush picked up, not dripping state. (You can also use other brushes with a similar length, about 1.3cm, so that the water content is about the same)
Dip the brush in the paint and keep rolling the brush until it is full of paint.
Put it on the disk and mix well, you will feel a sticky texture, much like the consistency of yogurt.
Apply it flat to the swatch grid, left to right, top to bottom. This consistency reflects the darkest color of the paint itself, and is often used to deepen dark areas.
But note: do not paint as thick as oil paint, this "yogurt consistency" is a bit like thick room temperature yogurt, thick texture.
The second tone: defined as "milk consistency"
The first step of the brushes used in the first step into the water jar to wash, and then picked up, not dripping and full of water in the state of the last yogurt consistency of the palette to mix thoroughly.
This texture is a bit like pure milk, the pigment can flow, but the concentration is still there, brush on the paper do not have to worry about the edges of the dry quickly.
Tone 3: "The consistency between milk and water"
Wash the brush, keep it dripping and full of water, and mix the milk consistency of the paint.
This consistency of pigment can be felt to be significantly lighter, more water than pigment, but not entirely water, like the feeling of milk is almost finished with a little water.
The fourth tone: "water consistency"
The pen is washed clean, not dripping and full of water state, do not stir the pigment just now, only need to pull open the edge of the corner of the outward stir.
This state is almost all water, only a slight bit of color, painted on the paper is very light.
3, complete the other colors
The red paint is finished, according to the same way you can paint the other colors.
Be aware that the order in the paint box and the color card order should be the same. Take a look at the finished product in the book!
You can draw the color swatches according to your own paint box.
