A new watercolour palette

My new watercolour palette arrived! :-) Yay! Spent a happy couple of hours rearranging my colours. Sadly my winsor and newton watercolour set gave up the ghost when we moved. To be fair it was already in two pieces, but after the tender mercies of the removals men it ended up in many pieces. So I thought I’d transfer the pans to a new palette and get a metal one that might last me a bit longer than the old plastic one.

I was rather surprised at just how expensive palettes can be! But luckily I came across this one on amazon and it looked like the perfect thing to add my w&n half pans and maybe to add some of my tube colours too. It’s brilliant! :-) I added 19 colours from the old palette (furloughed five) and 7 new ones, filling the empty pans from my tube colours, so now I have 26 colours with some of my favs, like indian yellow, opera pink, manganese blue and cobalt teal.
