001900501 Extra Fine Watercolor 66-Dot Try-It Card, Multi Color

This is wonderful! I have been wanting to upgrade my watercolors but was hesitant to go all in on Schmincke or Daniel without testing them. Is the premium price worth it? What colors do I really need for naturalist work? Etc. These colors a highly pigmented, beautiful, and the dots are plenty to actually paint with as a trial. I did a little 5x7 watercolor and still have paint of the colors used. I know 3 or 4 colors I'll want half pans. I do wish they had multiple cards with different colors as I would buy more before deciding on the full color set of maybe 12 I want. Daniel Smith won me over as a customer with this dot card approach!

This was a fun and reasonably priced way to test out different colors before I buy more expensive sizes. I was able to test the colors out more than once for each dot. Each color is documented so I can look up for its transparency and fluidity. Definitely is a fun and valuable purchase especially when you are a new to Middle artist

This Daniel Smith dot card is a inexpensive and fun way to test new colors. When I got the dot card I was concerned that it would not hold up because the dot samples were on thinner unsized paper vs card stock. What was a concern turned out to be bonus. Because the paper is unsized and porous, I was able to pull a little color out from each dot to see what it really looks like. This took a lot of the guess work out of finding the right shade of green and eliminated the need to hand label another swatch card with a thinner wash of each color. It has held up well as I pulled the colors I was interested in off to create bigger test samples.

Daniel Smith 66-Dot Try-it card For artist this is a valuable tool. It shows clearly the color on Your paper and with your Style. Definitely a Best Buy.

Being able to try colors without having to buy an expensive tube of paint helps you decide what to add to your pallette. What I didn't like about this dot card is that the dots of paint were very inconsistent in size. I also wish the iridescent colors would have been left off and more watercolors put in their place. Undersea green was absent and I really wanted to see that color in person. There may be other dot cards available. Overall, I like the chance to sample colors. I'm already a Daniel Smith fan and will be adding to my palette.

This is a WONDERFUL foray into watercolors for those that aren't sure about such a costly hobby. Daniel Smith has been around for a long time - when I was in the military I loved the yearly catalog and there was always someone to answer questions at ALL levels of learning. To be able to have access to the whole library of colours at a tiny fraction of what the cost would be for just a few colors. Every level of watercolor enthusiasts can explore and enjoy professional quality paints too!

Lots of paint dots to try out. There are lots of good ones from Daniel Smith and I ended up ordering a full tube of my favorites!

I found the dot-sized samples to be consistent in amount. This is a great way to sample paints before committing to a whole tube or pan. I like to get mini-pans, put a dot of water in them, and then using a razor, I can razor off the dot into the mini pan and then I get the most out of the colors for a swatch and to use it on an actual watercolor to see if I like it! Once it dries, the dot melds into the mini-pan (which are the perfect size for dots!) and then I have a tiny mini palette. Granted, it's not a lot of paint. You aren't going to be able to paint a whole background on a 5x7 or anything with one dot, but it's a good way to get more use out of the dot than letting most of the color bleed back into the paper that it's attached to. And do I get some paper with my dots? Most of the time, yes. But does it affect my use of my little sample that I'm trying to see if I want to buy a whole tube of it? Nope! So it works for me and maybe it will work for you too!

Bem interessante para testar as cores, vem umas cores metálicas muito bonitas!

Great to identify colours. A couple of spots obscured the colour name wish I could afford all these charts as they are so handy. Enough colour on spot to do a small area to try in actual painting

使用したことのない色を試せました。 私の好みの色があり嬉しかったです。原石の入っている絵の具はラメのような質感が入っており綺麗でした。

Great dot sheet to try out colours

I keep this in my journal as a travel palette!
