In this video, I'm testing 4 out of 5 limited edition Neocolor II palettes from the 50 Years Anniversary collection! I painted 5 whimsical characters - each one inspired by mushrooms, plants, and nature - to show you what these special palettes can do. 🎨 Palettes I tested: • Pop (bright & bold colors): https://amzn.to/3MKph2s * • Lush (nature-inspired greens & blues): https://amzn.to/4aTVIFu * • Portrait (warm skin tones & neutrals): https://amzn.to/3LcjDWd * • Pastel (soft & dreamy tones): https://amzn.to/4qizT75 * - on Agave Watercolor Paper by Hahnemühle I painted 4 illustrations on watercolor paper and one page from my coloring book on regular paper to compare how they perform on different surfaces. I'm sharing my honest thoughts + who those palettes are perfect for. 🌟 My Coloring Book is here!
