palette testing


Two years ago, Bill gave me the “Grow Untamed” palette because I love the red case. But the six original colors seemed lacking without a red and a stronger blue (sky gouache is rather weak) so I added quin. magenta, ultramarine blue, turquoise, and transparent red oxide. But other than a few sketches, I haven’t really used the palette much.

So this week I’m really testing the paints, all but two of them from Letter Sparrow. After doing these sketchbook pages, I’ve decided that they act more like a creamy bright gouache than watercolors. If I approach sketches with this in mind, I might have better luck with them.
