Painter's Color Diary® Review

"Over the decades, I have continued to make tests of a diverse and ever-growing collection of oil paints, taking note of how they respond to the addition of white paint to analyze tinting strength or adding a glaze medium to note how the pigments react transparently. Sometimes I will test one color, such as Raw Sienna, from different paint manufacturers to determine which version will be best for my needs. Before using The Painter's Color Diary®, I did these tests on my painting or palette and wiped them away. With this wonderful tool, I now keep a record and note each color and company. For me, The Painter's Color Diary® is the perfect color tool for artists working in oils. Printed on high-quality canvas paper and protected by vellum sleeves, this pad allows for the testing and recording of colors with no bleed-through. I highly recommend the Painter's Color Diary®, not only for students but for professional artists. My color struggle now will be to decide whether to keep the pages in the book or post them on the studio wall!"

    HG Art Concepts Painters Color Diary Wire Bound Pad (for Oil & Acrylic Paint)

    Patent Pending

    The diary is spiral-bound, and the specially designed pages can be removed from the spine to work on. Once completely dry, you can reinsert the pages into the diary. All of the sheets measure 9x12" from the spiral binding, with tons of room for notes and descriptions. The top of each color chart has a line for writing the paint brand, date, your name, or an assignment title if it's for a class. The diary page layout gives five rows of 8 rectangles, separated by two lines for notes and labeling. Each rectangle swatch box measures 1" x 1.5" and has a bold black horizontal line halfway from the top. This deliberate line is there to show transparency or separate half-tones for each color.

    Painter's Travel Color Diary, 6" x 8' Wire Bound Pad, 10 Pages


    Exclusive to Jerry’s, The Painter’s Color Diary Travel has a fail-proof layout that allows you to record swatch information while on the go. After discussing ideas with artists, HG Art Concepts developed this new version of the Painter's Color Diary to answer the organizational dilemmas that many watercolorists face when traveling.


    There are countless ways to use the Painter's Color Diary. Some examples are:


    • Swatching new color purchases
    • Testing color transparency and opacity
    • Creating color mixing formulas
    • Testing color palettes for an upcoming painting

    The diary features ten sheets of 100% Cotton 140lb Cold Pressed watercolor paper. Swatch grids and lines on the paper help you keep your notes organized. Each pad is spiral-bound with removable pages so that you can paint several sheets at one time or rearrange your sheets. Once dry, you can reinsert the pages in the diary, where they will stay protected by the glassine interleaving sheets. Each Travel sheet measures 6x8" from the spiral binding with a line for the color name or notes.

    The top of each color chart has a line for writing the paint brand, date, your name, or an assignment title if it’s for a class. Each rectangle swatch box measures 1-3/16" x 1/2" with a bold black horizontal line inside. This deliberate line is there to show transparency or separate half-tones for each color.

    Creating a color diary gives you intimate knowledge of how each color will perform. As a painter, you know how valuable swatch and color mixing information is. Think how much easier it will be to plan your paintings with all that vital information in an organized format!
