Start with a solid black line (using a
permanent marker) to test transparency
once the paint is applied across the black line.
There is a heading row at the top of this chart
identifying each color used to mix with the
row color.
Each horizontal row is a study of the color
used on that row. By mixing in a small
amount of each of the other core colors you
can chart how compatible they are with the
row color.
Be careful not to add too much of the core
colors to the row color, remember you are
studying each color row by row.
HINT: Some colors are more powerful than
other colors. It helps to take notes as you are
mixing so you remember which are weaker
and which are stronger for future reference.

Each horizontal row is a study of the color
used on that row. Allow the rows to dry
completely.
The vertical columns are the same colors
repeated in the same order with each
column being glazed over the horizontal
row.
Again be careful not to get the glazing color
too dark, remember you are studying
glazing of each color row by row.
HINT: The top color us usually the
dominate color. It helps to take notes as
you are glazing so you remember which are
weaker and which are stronger for future
reference. It is normal for some bleeding to
occur.

Tips for making your own color charts:
- I used a flat 3/4 inch brush to paint these two charts.
- On the glazing chart you will need to reload your brush as you paint the rows and columns
so mix up a good puddle of paint to keep the flow smooth.
