Make Your Own Tombow Dual Brush Pen Color Chart

I love creating art with my Dual Brush Pens and always refer to my Tombow dual brush pen color chart to pick the marker I need. When you add water to the marker color, the hues change so this chart is very handy to have!

The process of creating a color chart is so relaxing and stress free. There is no expectations- all you need to do is put color down and paint. Fill in those squares, circles or the grid. Its repetitive, mindless and super satisfying!

Each Tombow Dual Brush Pen marker has a 3-digit color number printed on the barrel.

• You’ll notice all the reds start with number 8 and all the blues start with number 4 or 5. The first number denotes the color family or
• Darker color pen number end with a 7,8, or 9

How to Make A tombow dual brush pen color chart

Watch the video: I show I created the Tombow Dual Brush Pen Color chart using washi tape for a grid here www.instagram.com/tv/BuoRoZOHkTM/

This chart idea is my most favorite one. The chart will take a good 30+ minutes to make, but the lines are all crisp and beautiful! This is my most used and referred color chart and I used all 108 Tombow Dual Brush Pens here.

I used a sheet from my Canson Mixed Media XL sketchbook and then used the best masking tape to create a grid of 12 by 9 to match the marker arrangement in the Tombow Marker Storage case.

Simply scribbled color into each area and paint over it with water. Slowly but steadily fill in all of those 108 little rectangles.

Here is how my finished watercolor Tombow dual brush pen color chart looks! I cannot even begin to tell you how happy these colors make me. 🙂

Why Should You Make A Tombow Dual Brush Pen Color Chart

1. You can see how all the colors look on paper at a glance quickly. Makes it very easy to pick and choose my markers to use on any sketch
2. I have found that the marker cap color doesn’t always match the watercolor perfectly. So the watercolor chart gives me a great idea how the actual color of the Dual Brush Pen will end up with on my paper.
3. A Tombow dual brush pen color chart also gives me a great idea about what colors I can avoid. In general, marker numbers ending with 0 or 1 are too light in nature and don’t watercolor too much. The color doesn’t really change with the addition of water.
4. You won’t accidentally buy duplicates! Check your color swatch before buying new markers.
