Building My 2026 Watercolour Palette | Colour Choices & Why I Love Them

Building My 2026 Watercolour Palette | Colour Choices & Why I Love Them In this video I’m sharing the colours I’ve chosen to include in my 2026 watercolour palette and the thinking behind each one. At the start of a new year I love taking a moment to reflect on how I paint, the subjects I return to again and again, and the colours that truly earn their place on my palette. Some of these paints are long-time favourites, others are newer additions I’m excited to explore more deeply this year. If you’re curious about simplifying your palette, choosing colours more intentionally, or just enjoy seeing how other artists approach colour selection, I hope you’ll enjoy this gentle, behind-the-scenes look into my studio practice. Let me know in the comments if you’re planning a palette refresh for 2026, or which colours you can’t imagine painting without 💙 Paint: Winsor and Newton Artist Quality, Daler Rowney Professional, Daniel Smith Fine Art Watercolours, Cass Art Colours we used: Green Gold (DS) Sap Green (DR) Deep Sap Green (DS) Aqua Green (W&N) Mayan Blue Genuine (DS) Prussian Blue (DR) Winsor Blue (W&N) Cerulean Blue red shade (W&N) French Ultramarine (DS) Moonglow (DS) Paynes Grey (W&N) Ivory Black (W&N) Burnt Sienna (Cass Art) Raw Sienna (DR) Raw Umber (W&N) Quinacridone Gold (DS) Imperial Purple (DS) Opera Rose (W&N) Permanent Rose (W&N) Potters Pink (DS) Alizarin Crimson (DS) Organic Vermillion (DS) Pyrrol Orange (DS) Permanent Orange (DS) Yellow Ochre (Cass Art) Hansa Yellow Medium (DS) Lemon Yellow (Cass Art) Buff Titanium (DS) Become a Youtube member!
