_______________________________________________________________________________________

A Paintable Project is a printable tutorial & drawing for you to paint yourself! In this Paintable, you will get to create a watercolor painting of a Color Pyramid in the tradition of historical color charts. Several sizes and arrangements of 15-color Color Pyramids are provided (you get to skip right over the technical drawing step!) for you to print onto watercolor paper, along with step-by-step instructions, extra info, and more. All you need to do is paint in the color!

Just print, then paint!

**The Color Pyramids are intended to be printed on watercolor paper (details below).**

This project is designed to be enjoyed in little bits over several days or over a long, slow afternoon. The included packets are packed with info and instructions to help guide you through the process of creating your Color Pyramid. However, you are encouraged to use your own creativity! Relax, enjoy, and savor the process.

The painting itself includes fine detail. This project should be approached with patience and a relaxed attitude. Any mistakes should be welcomed as learning experiences. One of the upsides of using a printable is that you can easily start over! No labor-intensive drawing is going to be ruined!

**Some of these templates are small and include fine details.**

Color Pyramid Sizes:
This Paintable Project includes five different 15-color Color Pyramid templates of different sizes and arrangements:
1) Single pyramid, full page, vertical presentation.
2) Single pyramid, full page, horizontal presentation.
3) Two pyramids, guide line to tear paper in two, vertical presentation.
4) Two pyramids, guide line to tear paper in two, horizontal presentation.
5) 12 pyramids with guidelines to create "flashcards", or portable charts


Watercolor Paper:
I suggest you use a large sheet (20cm x 20cm) of Arches 90 lb. Cold Press Watercolor Paper. It can be cut down to six individual 8.5 inch x 11 inch pieces of paper.

**Watercolor paper is commonly available in 140 lb. weight, however this heavy a paper will not go through most printers. Make sure you are using a 90 lb. weight watercolor paper.**

Printing:
1) Once you have cut your watercolor paper to size, load it into your printer in such a way that the more textured side of the paper is the side on which your images will be printed. (Cold Press watercolor paper is more textured on one side of the paper than the other. The more textured side is intended for your painting surface.)
2) Make sure to print on on a Black & White or Grayscale setting. I have had excellent results with my Epson Workforce 2660.
3) Only the pyramid sheets need to be printed on watercolor paper - not the entire packet!  When printing these, make sure to only select pages 30 & 31 to print so that you don't waste your watercolor paper.  Print dialog boxes (where you make your color and page selections) are each different depending on your computer, operating system, and document openers - but you should be able to select specific pages to print.

Getting Started:
I suggest that you print out your Informational Packet first. Give it a read-through to start getting acquainted with the project. It contains information on materials, technique, step-by-step instructions, terms, resources, etc. Then go ahead and print your Color Pyramids on your watercolor paper.  Remember to proceed with patience. This is designed to be educational, and the process is as important as the finished painting. You will hopefully end up with a useful reference tool and a deeper knowledge of your color palette. So, relax and enjoy the process!

An immense amount of work, time, and energy went into creating this project for you and I would love to be able to make more! Please use only as intended.

If it helps, just think of this project like purchasing a nice cup of coffee. It is priced similarly! If you and your friend go to the coffee shop together, you likely don't share the same cup. You each buy your own drink or one of you treats the other to her own cup. Thanks for understanding. Cheers! ☕
