Watercolor Basics How to make a Color Chart

Vertical Lily & Thistle article graphic featuring the title “Watercolor Basics: How to Make a Color Chart — Step-by-Step Video” over a close-up photograph of a handmade watercolor mixing chart. A large white sheet fills most of the background and is covered with neat rows of small painted color swatches ranging from reds, oranges, peaches, yellows, creams, and browns on the left through pale greens, grays, turquoise, teal, blue, and dark navy on the right. Handwritten paint-color names appear around the edges and top of the chart, and a slim paintbrush lies diagonally near the upper edge. Portions of a watercolor palette are visible along the top-left border. The headline is centered over the chart, with “Watercolor Basics” in large red script, “HOW TO MAKE A COLOR CHART” in dark charcoal serif capitals, “STEP-BY-STEP” in smaller red serif text, and “VIDEO” in very large red serif capitals. “LILYANDTHISTLE.COM” appears at the bottom in dark charcoal serif lettering.
