A full sheet of artist watercolour paper (22 x 30″) can make 3 folded books to hold all 6 mixing sets of Rosa Watercolours in both the colour wheel and the colour grid. It will hold three primary palettes on the front and three secondary palettes on the back. The book measure 5″x8.5″ when folded or 8.5″ x 22″ unfolded. The folded format is nice for storage and transport and the lay-flat design is ideal for comparing the different colour combinations. It may also be good to only use one side of the sheet for the charts and use the back for notes or illustrations. Follow the illustrations below.
