Palette Update - 1.12.22

Starting the new year in a new studio with a freshly cleaned and filled watercolor palette. I’ve added several new earth tones from Daniel Smith to experiment with as well as Potter’s Pink from Winsor and Newton. This travel palette is used both for urban sketching on location and in my studio for portrait painting.

What’s currently in your palette? Are there new colors you’d like to try?
