Hi there, Liron here!
Today I'm finally sharing with you my palette setup! 😁

A few guiding principles are:
- Good warm & cool version of every primary color
- Neutralizing colors
- Secondary colors
- "Speciality" colors (such as neutral tint)

Enjoy 😊🙏🏼

Phthalo blue green shade is my fav color on my pallet.

I had one of these watercolor palettes for gouache that I made into a "dirty“ palette. I set it up with my favorite colors and coated the mixing area with burnt sienna, Paynes gray and burnt umber. It has opened options beyond my imagination. Thank you.

This is seriously like looking at my own pallet! Q rose is my favourite! I started with the split primary set from DS and then added the secondary and some additional colours, gradually, over the next year. Limiting myself to the 6 colours of the split primary for so long really forced me to mix colours. What I learned during that year was invaluable. I seriously debated sticking with it to be honest, but I there are so many colours to explore!

I just started painting a week ago! I’ve painted your vase with sunflowers, your snowy trees, your leaf lesson and the cabin in the desert!

Oh my. I can now use a smaller pallet instead of dragging my 35 compartment one to class. Just figured out a great transparent gray that lifts easily instead of paynes gray, since I make lots of mistakes and want to correct. Working to get a pallet of all transparent, non-staining (except red, of course) colors until I get the hang of all of this. Awesome explanation, as always. Thank you. I am a huge fan.

Love this dirty palette... makes the best greys. That said, I keep my yellows as clean as possible so keep them in end wells with an empty well next to them. Just me, I guess. I've learned a lot from your channel the past couple of months and like to thank you 💚 . I so love how you explain watercolour so clearly, Liron. Now have notifications turned on 😁

oh my this is SO bizzarre! I literally have been just looking at travel palettes and feeling completely lost (my 'go to' medium is usually house paint or random stuff) I'm asking my Father if he can make me a wee portable easel that can attach to my camera tripod (my Dad's very clever with things like that) (and it would be SO great to be having some thing like that made made by my Dad - would be like having him with me when I go out painting ) and was thinking I need some watercolours in a tin I can attach to that via magnets - but when I looked at the sets online I have literally NOT A CLUE about what colours I am going to need or be using mostly (except for yellow - I use a LOT of yellow!) - SO I came online to see if you were online at all (as it is normally about this time if I am still awake that I can catch your lives) and well... here you are talking about the colours in your palette! Yeah. Beautifully in sync haha. Good. shall watch now and see what you have to say about your choices...

[dwellinj]

I’m sooo glad you did this! I’ve noticed some watercolor artist have a pristine palette and others are more like yours (Charles Evans comes to mind).
I’ve been experimenting trying to figure out a palette that will work for me and this video was extremely helpful!

Q rose is my favorite. I did do a painting using just Q rose, phaelo blue & a light yellow. When I put my palate together a few years ago I was fumbling around in the dark so this January I went through and slimmed it out somewhat. You know when you say you're getting into watercolors people are like, here I tried watercolors take these paints off my hands please. So I pulled out all of the hand me down koi watercolors put them together in their own little pallet and did a painting with just that set. Oh my God, they were wasted when i had them mixed in with my pallet but on their own they're incredible.. there is a carmine red in that set I just love. It's the only one I miss having in my main palette but it really doesn't belong there it needs to be with its koi friends.

My favorite color is burnt Sienna. I even named my red Doberman puppy Sienna. Beautiful color for a beautiful dog, inside and out. Thanks for all you do!

[jwalzer]

Thx for sharing the breakdown on the palette and more importantly how color interacts!

[chachiwahi]

I love carbazole violet...didn't even consider buying a tube until I saw a previous video of yours where you showed the great value range it has-- very dark to very light. I'm still very much just starting out, but am having fun, and that's what it's all about.

[anneyoung]

Undersea green is one of my favorites. I find it so useful to see what colors artists put in their palettes. Thanks for the video.

[anitawheeler]

I love that you have used the pallet just as is. It would seem that this would add to the depth of your color a s well.

[sopito]

I have participated in some lives you've done some years ago and I never told you but I not only love your work, I also love your palette, you kick the "ew, no cross contamination" trend in the face, and you also encourage a more homogeneous palette, it is awesome and your content is truly unique!

[brittanyreid]

I’ve always loved burnt sienna! Thank you for the walk through. I tried to use up what was left on my pallet the other day and did a self portrait after watching your colours don’t matter video. It was a leavening curve but so much fun!

[sandradonofrio]

Excellent. A good color primer. Everyone should watch, early in their color journey.

[gruphd]

Burnt Sienna is good for “earthy” landscapes. Thank you for showing secondary colours - I might just have to buy some and experiment!

[beernut]

Ultramarine blue is my go to color on any palette I create. I love how it mixes with sepia for moody skies.

[paulacampbell]

Quin Burnt orange!!!! Love it! Thanks so much for another fun and educational video! You are very inspiring. I paint for pleasure but still aspire to learn all your wonderful tips and tricks!
