I quit oil painting to move to watercolour to upgrade my knowledge about pigments and Colors. I love what watercolour does for me. I also love Toby’s teaching, so I listen to this new class, and try to renew my palette without buying new tubes..! Let’s see!

I can’t find perfect equivalent for manganèse blue hue PB15…. I thought about Peacock Blue, PB15:3. It cool be a good choice. It's a phtalo blue. I get it in my aqua dispersion pigments by KAMA pigment. I could mix my pan of watercolour for this colour... or buy a new tube!

I think I will use my transparent yellow (Schimcke) PY 150.

I will use goetite PY43 maybe with a touch of yellow ochre.
Toby, i would like to know why you use lavander who is a mix of white, blue and violet… ultramarine violet looks good for me, I could use it. I will try to mix and compare lavender and ultramarine violet.

I also have a question about indigo. I would like to use Indantreme blue. The difference is that indigo contains black. I will think about that.

I will try with my watercolour graphite by Graf, I won’t by graphite Grey watercolour for the moment.

Quinacridone coral: PR209. I think I must try it.

i will continue to try Colors mixing! Lot's of fun for me!
thanks Toby!

Finally..i will try those Colors.

Maybe I’ll change hansa yellow medium to use New Cambodge or Mayan orange… or transparent pyrrol orange… an orange… I’ll see with time!

April 4... I just finish my swatches..... It's a long job! I did it..!
