Or if you’re just starting out, then you’re probably eager to make the right decisions from the beginning.

If you’re like me, then you probably have a whole bunch of different watercolor paints to pick and choose from. But before we get to those, I think there’s a more fundamental question you need to ask yourself: What colors to put in your palette? There are several advantages to a well organized palette. So I thought this would be a great opportunity to show you how to set up your paints and arrange your colors. So if you’ve decided to set up your palette with the colors of your choice, then good for you!Īnd guess what? I just got a new watercolor palette for working in my studio. In fact, if you think about it, the way you set up your color palette has an effect on all of your artwork. Personalizing your palette might seem trivial, but if it’s done correctly it’s a valuable step towards better color mixing and an easier painting experience. And over time, I’ve agonized over the best choice of paints to include in my palette! When I first started painting it took me a while to figure out which colors to use and how to organize them. Setting up a watercolor palette can be a bit of a brain-teaser, especially when you begin learning watercolors.
