In this video, I show you how to create a watercolor color key—a simple fan deck made from watercolor paper that lets you swatch pure hues and mixed colors for easy reference. This color-mixing tool helps you understand pigment relationships, track your favorite mixes, and plan cohesive palettes for your artwork. It’s a great method for watercolor beginners and a practical addition to any artist’s supplies. If you want to organize your paints, improve your color choices, and build a reliable swatch system, this project will fit perfectly into your workflow.
