Creating my new watercolor palette

Hi everyone! After a new break, I am back. In this video, I will be talking a little bit about a process that took me weeks to complete: creating my new watercolor palette. I went with very safe choices, as I am not very familiar with colors and pigments yet, but I hope that this will be the start of a journey in the world of colors and also the start of my collection of watercolors 😉
I was previously using Cotman Winsor & Newton watercolors (www.winsornewton.com/row/pain...) which are student grade paints. I have upgraded to:
- Winsor & Newton professional: cobalt turquoise light, potter’s pink, neutral tint
www.winsornewton.com/row/pain...
- Schmincke Horodam Aquarell: pure yellow; transparent ochre, transparent sienna, ruby red, helio cerulean French ultramarine, perylene green

I will be posting a blogpost about this process with pictures of the swatches and some sneak-peeks of paintings I have done with the colors.

Beautiful palette . I have a mix of different brands in my specialty palettes. My everyday palette I fell in love with Marie’s Concentrated Pigment watercolors and they are really outstanding in quality . I was able to purchase 36 colors on sale for about $35 dlls . I also have granulating watercolors palettes . I love collecting and organizing my watercolor collection. We can never have enough lol .

Thank you so much :) I am still experimenting with brands, slowly building the collection so that my wallet is no too angry with me ^^ But it is sooo nice just to swatch and experiment with new colors and brands. I have never heard of Marie's concentrated pigment watercolors, maybe I will give them a try in the future, especially if I find such a good deal!
