A thin, flexible grid that can be taped down as a masking tool when practicing paint mixing.

260.35 x 133.35 mm, 1mm height.
(10.25" x 5.25", )

Squares are 1", divided by 1/4" (0.25") borders.

Spacing is derived from the instructions for masking out a grid to do the paint mixing exercise described by Richard Schmid in "Alla Prima: Everything I Know About Painting". Rather than go through the trouble of drawing and taping a grid, I thought it might be valuable to have a re-useable grid that I can tape down while working and then peel away when done.

I expect that this will be most useful for paints that sit on top of the surface rather than sink in, i.e. gouache, oil, acrylic. I plan to test it for watercolour as well, but I don't have high hopes.

If you are not familiar with this exercise or the book, it is described in this blog post. https://michaellynnadams.com/color-chart-exercise/

I printed it with a 0.4mm nozzle, 0.2mm layer height, on an Elegoo Neptune 4 plus using reg
