What is sizing when we're talking about paper? Also... swatching is one of the most important steps in learning how your watercolors act on paper.
I'll show you how to do a quick and easy swatch to help you get started with getting to know your watercolors and pigments. Showing YInTiCo Red for this video.
This swatch template is perfect for everyone who works with watercolors. Wether you make them, or use them.
I use this swatch as showed;
There's room for the name of the paint and/or pigment number.
From the swatch, you can check the transparency as well as enough space to make a gradient swatch, you can see how the paint flows, for wet in wet technique and you can test the liftability of the pigment/paint used.
I haven't been paid or sponsored for this video, I just really like the paper.
