This was a nice link, thank you for sharing it!!!

I love using the Peerless Watercolors. I had read about them, and saw a link from a search with a lady who teaches classes using them. She has a video about how she did her chart, which is what I followed - Peerless Watercolor paints

It's another idea, and that way you have both the swatches and the sample of the color together. I've found it works well for me. I noticed the girl from Art From The Heart did hers in alphabetical order. You could do that, or I looked at the color chart from Peerless and merged all my sets by color, light to dark. It's pretty close, and works out. You can do what's easiest for you. Good luck!!!

I'm just starting to put my peerless into a swatch book. I'm making a smaller sized travel palette book using the ideas and downloadable graph chart from the Ellen Hutson video and also a larger standard sized notebook using my own graph. Instead of washi-taping the middle as a hinge I am going to use one of my go to notebook favorites, the round multi disk bound binder that Staples sells in two sizes. It's called the "ARC customizable system." I already have the punch machine for these so I'm going to punch the graph printed water color paper and put the available clear page inserts that are made for these notebooks in as dividers. If you watch the video you can see that you can use your favorite binder system to make one of these working palette booklets. She uses acetate sheets to divide and protect her paint squares. I'm not a watercolor artist but I like to make pretty backgrounds and washes. I like that there are lots of Peerless colors so I don't have to blend my own colors as I am not an expert at that.

My order is being shipped as we speak! This thread came in time.

I got a very inexpensive photo album in the clearance aisle of Joann's, cut off strips from my paint swatches, mounted them on card in color order (with name and a swipe of color), taped them in to the paper sheets in the book, then left the clear plastic piece between each sheet so the colors wouldn't touch if wet. It works perfect and I can replace the paint strip when the paint runs out. The book was so cheap, less than $5, so I couldn't beat the price!!!!

i have finally completed my chart! i was able to fit the entire collection [thats 72 colors] on 2 pages. this way, i can open a notebook, use both sides and then close it and put it away. i wont have to remove a 3rd page and find a spot to put it down.

so i am going to attach the chart in the next posts if i can figure it out.

[Copperkids]

here is a photo of the 2 pages of the smaller squares.

so i took the original strip, cut a 1.25 inch strip off the side. then i cut 1 inch off the bottom. so i had several pages of 1.25 in x 1.5 inch squares. [these squares went onto laminated cardstock as one set]. i had one page of red/pink , one page of yellow/purple, one page blue / green , and one page brown/ black.

and i had 1 in x 1.25 in squares. [these squares will fit on 2 pages - good for traveling]

[Copperkids]

here is the photo of the larger square.

[Copperkids]

smaller photos did not attach.

[Copperkids]

here are the 2 files in Word, if anyone wants them. the 1 inch is for the smaller squares to fit onto 2 pages of 8.5x11 paper and the larger squares are 2.5 inch template.

[Copperkids]

also, the bonus pack, pink pack, etc came in a plastic pack, so i cut cardstock to a similar size of the original pack, punched holes, labeled the bottom, and then used a tape runner on a short area of the paint. and tied the whole pack with ribbon.

so there, all organized and ready to watercolor.

ps, if i already did not mention, to get the whole collection, you need:
complete edition
bonus pack
dry spot set
pretty in pink set
jane davenport 5 colors
magenta - one color by itself

i hope someone finds this helpful.

Here's a great blog post about the Peerless Watercolor Sample Pack. The samples sold at some websites don't all have the names on them, so this was very helpful. Art?from?the?Heart: Product Review: Nicholson's Peerless Transparent Watercolors + Video!
