@anne_camozzi I also keep colour swatches of each colour mixed along with the formula. Having two binders full of swatches and formulas speeds things up a lot when mixing. I sometimes use Golden Heavy Body colours but mix these down to a thin fluid consistency…

@anne_camozzi Hi Anne,
I use Golden acrylic- most of the time I use High Flow or Fluid Acrylics which I pour into a ceramic watercolour tray. I mix my colours in that tray and record the # of drops of each colour (the formula) so that I can always get exact hue I need.
