My absolute favorite watercolors of all time is by a company called a

A.GALLOW hand made in Italy especially the color Notturno, and their olive green, I believe Jackson's art just started selling them now.

As for mixing grey, I mix all the colors that I'm using on that 1 piece and dilute it... u may think "omg mudd" but I water it down and it just ties in the whole piece by bringing in a shade... but "mud" isn't something you should be afraid of, especially when it comes to shadows

I am intrigued by the Whiskey Palette story and excited to read more about its genesis. I love the format of your think and share stack writing. It feels conversational and engaging. I look forward to the next one! ( with watercolors I create gray using the colors and hues from the palette I’m using. I can lighten it if needed by adding more water..

A very interesting read 👌🏻 I had no idea why my watercolours came in that little tin box. Now I do !!

I have to admit I haven’t used my watercolours in years 😅

I’m a contemporary painter but I use mostly thick acrylic and a big industrial sander 😆😆

I really enjoyed the read. Thank you for sharing ✨
