I like to sketch my palette at the beginning of each sketchbook, although consistency is not my forté!  I’m not starting a new sketchbook soon, so here is an update of my colors.

My current palette replaces a well used Schminke one.  This was purchased a few years ago, but it always seemed too heavy to use when traveling. It was finally time to test it, as the additional mixing area seems too good to waste.  You can see it’s been well used already. 

The newer colors (small tin) are a set from Greenleaf & Blueberry.  Haven’t worked much with them, and looking forward to playing more.  

For this very cold first day of the year, I’m rewatching a John Lovett watercolor instructional dvd. He is one of my favorite artists, and his videos are straightforward and easy to follow. Easy, that is, if you’re good at following direction. Not me!

Here’s to a year of creativity!
