More About Yellow Watercolors
I write the name of the color and the manufacturer of the paint on the back side of the paper. Then I wet the front of the paper and paint it. I try to have lay the color on thick and thin to see how dark it can get. When it is dry I write the name of the paint on the front of the paper.
When I decide on a color, I start to lay the tubes of paint around my palette to see where they will go.
Yellow
Starting with the color yellow, I took a look at all the tubes of paint I own. I have a lot of tubes of paint!!!
I want a well rounded representation from cool yellows to warmer yellows. To best see the colors, I painted little samples on watercolor paper. Then I organized them according to the color wheel.
New Watercolor Palette!
This is the biggest palette that I have ever bought. This is the Mijello Silber Nano Palette.
It has room for 40 colors! Yippee!!!
Now the fun part is to decide which colors will go where. I always use a color wheel to figure out where to put my colors.
The first thing to do is to pull out the tubes of color that I want to add to my new palette. This will take some time and careful thought.

Using Black Gesso
Jeannine Stein blogged about it at the Cloth, Paper, Scissors blog.
Here is a little of what she had to say:

Start by painting a watercolor border on all sides of the paper. The beauty of this technique is that even if you’re not that familiar with watercolor, you really can’t go wrong. I sprinkled table salt on some areas of the wet paint to get a textured effect.
