My full list of colours set out below are in sequence as they appear in my palette. There are way too many and will be edited down over time to a core set.
Palette box is a cheaper version of a Holbein offering a 35 slot palette. If honest I have way more colours than if ever use. I often only use a few of these and a version of this palette with fewer slots would be better for most.
My brushes are mainly Rosemary and Co, Sable and Synthetics.
My watercolour palette is as follows:
Core Palette in the order they lay: left side up, across the top and then left to right at the bottom.
