Some of the colours in my original Winsor & Newton watercolour box have been worn away to shrivelled husks so I’ve revamped the box with some replacements and some substitutions.
My aim is to make this a palette suitable for painting wild flowers, so, in addition to my regular cool and warm versions of red, yellow and blue, I’ve gone for a warm and cool violet along with Permanent Magenta.
There are probably slightly too many earthy brownish colours, so as I start to use the box I might put some of those on the substitute list and think about an olive green, an indigo or perhaps another yellow, either a gold or an acid yellow.
