The definitive color-mixing resource for watercolor artists, Watercolor Color Mixing Recipes: Card Deck & Color Mixing Grid offers a portable, studio-ready update to William F. Powell’s trusted system. 

This travel-friendly toolkit translates William F. Powell’s proven method into 35 sturdy cards, a booklet, and a reusable acetate color mixing grid for precise, repeatable blends. Built for watercolor’s unique needs, each card presents a finished swatch, exact pigment proportions, and helpful notes on dilution/values so you can match a target hue and its light-to-dark range quickly. 

With a find-follow-measure-mix workflow, you’ll locate a color in the guidance index (say, flamingo pink, seashell white), follow the numbered recipe, measure on the acetate grid, and blend a clean, reliable mix—ready for washes, glazing, or fine detail.

Each recipe card pairs a full-color swatch with clear pigment ratios and a cross-referenced index, making it simple to look up a target hue, confirm the formula, and mix exactly what you need—no guesswork, no wasted paint. The cards extend the learning with concise lessons on value control, complementary mixing, and natural graying to keep colors clean, believable, and harmonious across subjects—from landscape greens and coastal neutrals to skin tones and shadow families.

Designed for oil and acrylic painters at any level, the deck’s step-by-step process is quick to learn and easy to teach.
