Hahnemuhle watercolor book

I’ve begun a new sketchbook journal, this time a watercolor book from Hahnemuhle. Their tiny (only 2” square!)  ZigZag book lives in my purse but since I rarely go anywhere these days, I haven’t drawn much in it. So I thought I’d try the company’s paper out in a slightly bigger size.

This one is a 4.1 x 5.8” landscape book holding 60 pages of a natural white 200 g/m paper — equivalent to 90 lb. watercolor paper, I think. I prefer 140 lb. but this paper seems to handle wet watercolor quite well. I’ll have fun playing with it.

And after filling my previous journal with an unusual limited palette, I’m back to full color! This Pocket Palette holds the watercolors I keep in my studio palette, arranged in sets of 5 primaries + a green and a neutral. From the top row, there are cool colors (plus a pan of white gouache), warm colors, earth colors, and darks. Plus two empty pans for additional mixing space and my 2 favorite turquoise paints. I copied this arrangement from Jane Blundell, changing a few color choices.

(This time, I remembered to take a photo before adding my personal contact info! I’ll add that to the lower left inside cover, in case the book is misplaced.)

UPDATE:
For those curious, my choice of colors (all Daniel Smith) is as follows —

COOL: Hansa yellow medium, quinacridone rose, phthalo blue GS, jadeite, + titanium white gouache (M. Graham)

WARM: quinacridone gold, pyrrol scarlet, ultramarine, serpentine, + buff titanium

EARTH: monte amiata natural sienna, quinacridone burnt scarlet, cerulean blue chromium, green apatite, + burnt sienna

DARK: raw umber, lunar red rock, indigo, perylene green, + Jane’s grey

The two turquoise paints in the upper right are cobalt teal blue and cobalt turquoise.
