Some people here already know, I received a set of 36 watercolor pencils for Xmas, for which I posted a pic here

The box did not include a list of colors, so I had to dig through Google to find a color list that actually matches the set I have, with the right numbers.

I finally found one here , where the blog owner bought a 48 set of the same brand and same type as mine, and her box listed the 48 colors. Mines were all listed, so I finally could have the color names with the corresponding numbers.

So yesterday, I took one watercolor sheet to make my own color chart. I first did my measurements to make my divisions with an HB pencil, then I re-outlined with a permanent marker and erased the pencil marks. Then, I colored my squared one by one, and each time I finished one, I wrote the number of the pencil I used fot that square. Once I colored all my 36 squares, I used the list in the blog post to write the corresponding colors. And finally, with the provided paintbrush, I applied water on each of my colored squares while paying attention to not touch the neighboring square. Then I led it dry a whole night before scanning it. But since my watercolor sheets are a little wider than my scanner's viewport, I had to scan it twice then assemble the two scans into one to have it complete.

And voila, here's my color chart ! This will be very helpful for my future watercolor projects.

If you own the same set of watercolor pencils, feel free to download this chart !
