Learn how to set up a custom watercolor palette that supports your personal approach to painting. With the help of modern color theory frameworks, learn the what + why behind paint selection to help you make informed color choices and personalize your palette according to your needs.

A common dilemma for beginners is not understanding the context behind paint selection and how it relates to our color mixing goals. Often the choices are made based on visual color alone (or charming sounding color names) and the paint recommendations made by more experienced artists. What this often leads to is buying a lot of paints that end up being unused and stored in a collection of ‘someday’ paints—something I know all to well and am guilty of myself!
In a way, it is part and parcel of the creative journey and there will be lots of discoveries still to make as you develop as an artist :)
If you’re just beginning your watercolor journey, my hope is that this class can help you figure out how to go about choosing your watercolor paints and help you save some money along the way!

Key skills you will learn:

Discover how your painting needs + preferences inform your paint selection
Understand other important factors to consider that will influence your choice of paints
Learn how to use a modern color diagram to help you design a basic palette
Learn different ways you can set up your watercolor palette
Get inspiration and practical tips on how to fully utilize your palette
Make informed choices when shopping for watercolor paints

By the end of the class, you will be equipped with the knowledge and confidence to build or modify a palette that is customized specifically to your needs. This in turn can help you make more informed decisions when it comes to purchasing your watercolor paints.

Who is this class for?

Beginners who are unsure of how many paints or which colors to get
Watercolor painters looking to revamp your palette
And color enthusiasts!

Please note, this class works hand in hand with my previous class, “Modern Color Theory: Master Color Mixing for Watercolors” class, so be sure to refer back to it for a more comprehensive understanding of the modern color theory frameworks.

Happy learning! ♥
