How do you set up your watercolor palette? That is without a doubt one of the most popular questions I get asked.

So in this video, I show you how I set up a brand new palette—the 12 Winsor & Newton colors I love, the order I put them in, why I put them in that order, and finally how to prep the surface of the mixing wells to prevent beading.

    On creating the pallatte colors, you did not explain your colors for the bottom, four vertical bins. I seem to remember you use two of the for two types of Yellow .

    Also, what about the right side compartments, another 12 ‘trays’ – what goes into these …?

      Yep, if there were wells with colors I don’t name, they’re usually duplicate colors that I use for mixing or new colors I was testing for a project.
