CREATESPACE Color Charts XL: Color Collection Edition

I bought this to record color combinations for my colored pencil work. It's an ample sized book with more pages than I'll ever use, which is a good thing! I record color schemes in part of the book, blending charts in another part. Each page has many charts, so the color combinations can be arranged by color family, items to be colored (leaves/flowers/parrots). The uses are limited only by the imagination and need of the artist. The pages take colored pencil very well. They also take gel crayon, gel pens, water color pencils, and ink. I haven't tried alcohol markers or water based markers because I don't use those very often. The paper is not heavy, so I doubt it would work without gesso or another waterproofing medium. I am very pleased with it.

BUEN TAMAÑO Y BUEN GRFOSOR PAR HACER LOS “SWATCHES”

Und das ohne viel Aufwand! Man kann alle wichtigen Infos zu den Farben in dem A4 grossen Buch zusammentragen. Das Papier ist glatt und recht dünn, deshalb sollte man bei Markern (Wasserbasierende Tinte oder Alkohol) unbedingt ein Blatt unterlegen, denn die Farben schlagen durch! Bei Bleistiftfarben gibt es dieses Problem nicht. Allerdings habe ich persönlich auch da ein Stück Papier unter die Buchseite gelegt, weil wenn man layern möchte und 2-3x in ein Kästchen malt, dann sieht man das doch recht deutlich auf der Rückseite.Ich hätte mir gewünscht, dass man die Seiten heraustrennen kann (das kann man natürlich auch einfach so aber riskiert eventuell, dass das Papier reisst). Dann könnte man beispielsweise die einzelnen Seiten laminieren und 4-5 Blätter besser nebeneinander halten, um Farbtöne zu vergleichen.

I’m glad I bought this swatch book. Previously I paid 2711/- on flipkart for the ruby charms big book of colour charts and after a month of eagerly waiting for it, flipkart went and cancelled the order😡. And I came back to my favourite amazon and searched and bought this book. I am surprised at the size of it..it’s a pretty large size. And the swatch boxes are generously sized. I’m thoroughly enjoying laying down all my colours from various pencil brands. Go ahead and buy....even though the paper is thin, it’s very smooth and I love that there is so much space for writing the text. Thanks amazon! Buy this swatch book without a second thought...easy on the pocket too!!

Best Colouring Chart on amazon. Plenty of room to make samples of all your colour pencils sets. Also room to record colour combinations, such as skin, hair or metal. The paper is reasonably good and the large boxes to fill in the colours makes excellent example of the colour pencil. With several lines to record important information.
