Intro
Having a nice collection of watercolour tube paints is a welcome addition to the sketching field kit. I got a new Meeden mini-palette and filled with some of the my fav midwest and west-coast paints.

palette-mixed colours
- Payne’s Grey with Quin Gold – “Andy’s Green” after fav local artist Andy Evansen
- French Ultramarine with Aureolin
- Cobalt Blue with Aureolin
- Payne’s Grey with P. Alizarin Crimson
- Payne’s Green with P. Rose
- French Ultramarine with Burnt Sienna – trying to make a chromatic black. The best I could do mixing in the palette was a pretty nice grey; “Linda’s Grey” after our teacher.The one on the right was put on the paper with heavy pigment in the brush, and very little water, and it took 3 layers.
- French Ultramarine
- Burnt Sienna
- French Ultramarine
It is still not as lustrous a black as mixing French Ultramarine and Quin Burnt Orange directly, but it will suffice for travelling.
