- Do you have to color swatch your colored pencils? No, but you’ll enjoy coloring a lot more if you do. Don’t worry, there is not a one-and-only way to do it. Instead, I go over the different methods and my preferred way to swatch out my colored pencils so you can pick the one that works best for you.
Some items discussed in today’s video:

I have also gone through several swatching options, and found the 3ring binder is the best because if you get rid of a range of pens or pencils you can just throw out the relevant pages. I have swatched all my paints, marker pens, gel pens too and it is so convenient to be able to pull out a sheet to refer to instead of flipping through a bound book.
I'm kind of mixed. I do have mine in a binder, but sometimes it is just so bulky to carry around, especially when you have soooo many sheets. So I'm trying to find a different method. Especially for my watercolors which take up a lot of real estate.
GREAT SWATCH CHART RESOURCE...TY!!!💜 Comforting to know I'm not the only one who tried to be super-organized and then got real. 😉
I've actually been working on revamping my swatching method, again, so it has definitely changed lol
The swatch books you made are amazing. They should send.something like that with the pencils.
This video is very informative. I love how well organised you are. It's just magic.
Awe ty. I should update this with my new charts but so many ideas too little time haha
I just love looking at other people's swatches even if some methods aren't for me💜 I search online for a list of colors included in the set and copy into a word document. Then I'll use the table function to generate a grid so the color names appear in each cell. I make the cells as large as possible. For example my Polychromos chart is two 6 x 10 grids on 8.5x11 cardstock.
That's a great way to do it too! There are soooo many ways. Really, it is all about what works for you. I even switch mine up at times haha. So, I go from sheets to spiral sketchbooks. Just depends on my mood.
I found your channel when I was doing some research on the Castle Art pencil colours. I'm really enjoying your content so far and look forward to more reviews and lessons. Keep up the great work! Ps. I love your new intro, it's so sweet and cheerful!
Thank you!
I enjoy swatching my color pencils, not only to organize the colors but it satisfies my OCD inclination.
It is really relaxing to be honest.
I’m so happy I’m not the only one constantly searching tell I’m happy. I’m on my 3rd method
Yeah sometimes you just have to keep going until you find what works for you.
How do i get blank charts?
Hi Penny! The blank charts in this video were linked in my description. You can get them through those links.
Having followed a swatching path similar to yours, and winding up in a similar place, I enjoyed watching your video. I am also HAPPY to be on the other side, happily spending more time coloring and less time swatching! But you have presented me one more possible adjustment. Currently I have all my plastic encased charts in one ready made presentation booklet, and I am now out of pages. I have to ask about your spiral bound pages. Is that something you made? Do the rings open for additional pages?
I really hope you can supply directions, supply resources or any other assistance in The Swatching Journey! Thank you!
So the rings don't open, but it is a disc binding system. They are really fun and a great way to organize pages because you can add as many pages until the discs are full. amzn.to/43tYzyU this is the set I purchased because I liked the pastel colors haha
Oops, my previous comment was supposed to be on a different video🤔. Can it be moved?
Which comment? Sadly, I can't move them.
