Gather Your Materials
Gather the items you need to make watercolor paint. You will need watercolor pans, watercolor brushes, watercolor paper, and watercolor paints. You will also need a palette or bowl to mix your paints in, and a few drops of water.
Mix Your Colors
Mix your colors together in a palette or bowl. Start with a small amount of watercolor paint and slowly add water to create a desired shade. Mix colors together to create new shades and tints. Once you are happy with the color, transfer it to a watercolor pan.
Create a Painting
Create a painting using your newly-made watercolor paint. Start by laying down a base layer of color and then add highlights and shadows for a more interesting effect. Use different brushstrokes to create textures, and experiment with various techniques. Once you are happy with the painting, let it dry completely.
Create a Color Chart
Create a color chart to document the colors you have made. This will help you to quickly identify and mix colors in the future. Start by drawing a grid on a piece of watercolor paper. Then, use your paints to fill in the squares in the grid. Label each color, and you will have a handy reference for future projects.
