Swatch Bliss (Volume 2) – Swatching Sets

Description

Volume 2: 1,080 or 2,160 Swatches!

I love to swatch my art tools! Beyond the practical sides of swatching (cataloging a set of coloring tools, seeing what their colors are, testing the limits of the tools, getting to know how the tools perform, etc.) I love seeing the beautiful colors neatly displayed in front of me like a menu of possibilities. Swatching inspires me, relaxes me, and it has become one of my favorite artistic pastimes.

Swatch Bliss is a place for you to discover the joys of swatching. Every swatch page has been thoughtfully designed by me to give you plenty of space to record all the important information about each of your art tools: brand, set, color name, color number, date, and miscellaneous notes. Write it all down or just those things that are important to you. I have also given you a generous swatching square with room to try a gradient, different line pressures, doodles, or even smears…try it all!!!

Swatch Bliss comes in multiple volumes to fit multiple needs. No matter which Swatch Bliss volume you choose you can be sure that it will be printed on my favorite artist quality papers (you choose from available options at the time of your order.) The books are carefully bound and ready for your to fill with all your beautiful colors.

Therapeutic Swatching

I use my art as a “blissful” way to cope with daily chronic pain (no one’s life is perfect). One of my favorite ways to help me cope with high pain days, or days that I’m feeling extra stress, anxiety, or depression is to swatch. Do you ever feel that urge to create but you just don’t feel up to working on a full piece of art? Me too! Sometimes, I will find a blank piece of paper or open a sketch book and grab my favorite art tools and just lose myself in swatching each of those beautiful colors. It is such a relaxing way to lay down colors and enjoy how the tools perform without the pressure of creating a masterpiece. I highly recommend you give this a try next time you feel that urge to create on a hard day. It is so blissful and therapeutic.
