In between paintings it is a good practice to paint color swatches. This enables an artist to expand their palette or at least increase their understanding of color theory.
These become reference cards not unlike index cards people use to to write down menu's for dinner options. Otherwise, it can be hard to recall what pigments you mixed to arrive at a certain color.
In addition, the mixed colors dry very different from when they were wet. I even try these on different papers as a way to begin to understand the various properties of how the paper behaves with this moisture once they dry.
Anyway, this is something you may want to consider in your journey of painting.
