There is a great feeling that goes along with completely cleaning out a palette and filling it up with a new line up of fresh watercolor paint.

Favorites are always evolving. Some colors make it into my palette for a particular painting I'm working on but then they become favorites and stick around. Or some colors we just outgrow as we discover new colors. And oh the joy of a fresh palette filled with new juicy paints!

So here is a list of my new line up and, zoowie, I'm so excited to start painting with them! These are all Daniel Smith professional grade paints (unless otherwise noted). Gorgeousness in a tube!
