~ Daniel Smith & Schmincke Watercolor Swatches

Hi! Here's some swatch cards of info for my fav Daniel Smith & Schmincke Horadam Watercolors.. .There are also a couple of Rivervale Handmade colors, Emerald Green is from Sennelier, Cobalt Violet is from Winsor & Newton & Brilliant Pink & Shell Pink are from Holbein

I tried to show them as close as possible to the actual color,
& tried to group similar ones together so you can see the subtle variations in texture & color.. .

i also photographed them a couple of times so that hopefully you can get a feel for them.. .The only thing is some of the Daniel Smith Genuine colors have a sparkle to them, so i will try to photo that soon.. .In the meantime there are some other photos of that in these posts or you can see them being created here

There is a Key/Swatch Anatomy sample @ the end so you can understand the swatches &/or make some yourself!

Hope this helps! 





















Of course you can make much simpler swatches if you don't need all that extra info, which are very pretty!

Also, i get a lot of positive feedback on my handwriting.. .Thankyou for that!
So here is the alphabet i use when I'm writing.. .
 Feel free to print it out & use it to trace while learning, use it as a reference
 or as a starting point for making your own letters.

Have a Wonderful Week!
