COLOR MIXING GRID

 

The grid below is used to measure the paint for the color recipes. Using each square as one part, squeeze the paint out in uniform widths and lengths according to the formula. (A “speck” is equal to the size of a large pinhead.)

 

Once you have measured the colors, use a palette or painting knife to transfer the paint to your mixing surface.
