Swatch with me in part two of my Daniel Smith Swatch Book Phthalo Turquoise series. In this Swatch With Me video, I'll mix Daniel Smith Phthalo Turquoise with 29 other Daniel Smith watercolor paints. These watercolor swatches are painted on the Zentangle art journal page created in part one of this series. If you missed part one, Draw With Me, watch it here youtu.be/H_KKjmUnFKw.

HISTORY
**********
Many thanks to all of you who requested this video series!! I started my Daniel Smith Swatch Book to learn more about watercolor, specifically how to mix harmonious watercolor palettes to create beautiful paintings. Painting swatch squares was mind-numbingly boring and felt like a chore. I am a Certified Zentangle Teacher (CZT), but I wasn't tangling as often as I liked. The Daniel Smith Swatch Book allows me to practice Zentangle patterns and learn more about watercolor simultaneously. Another goal of mine is to learn how to sketch flowers well. So, Part 3 of the series is all about sketching and using the paints I mixed. I hope you'll join me on this artistic journey so we can learn together!
