Mixing Palette - Handmade Watercolor set

The Mixing palette!

We have curated our most versatile collection of twelve colors for mixing. This collection includes split primary colors for creating a vast range of glorious greens, deep purples and burnt oranges, just to name a few!

Featuring Quinacridone gold and Transparent red oxide as a contemporary twist on classic Raw sienna and Burnt sienna tones. These two modern variations on essential earthy shades have strong tinting strength, making them exciting to mix with vibrant colors!

Transparent red oxide is a warm rusty orange color perfect for adding layers and light to earth tones. Mix this moderately granulating red oxide with ultramarine blue for dramatic sky washes or modify sap green in landscapes to achieve rich moody greens.

Each Mixing palette includes the synthetic Kazan pocket brush 1327 size 8 by @tintorettobrushes!
