Below, you’ll find the full list of the 18 watercolor paints I use on my palette. I recommend you start with the 10 in the ‘Essential Range’ as they give you the best options for mixing. <\/b><\/p>\n
Unless stated otherwise, all paints are Winsor and Newton. You can find out more about why I recommend these as the best watercolor paints, as well as links to order them from online suppliers, on this page<\/a>. <\/b><\/p>\n For each paint, you’ll find the pigment number, which you can use to find an exact match. I also show the tonal range each paint can achieve, from darkest to palest. You can use this as a visual reference to find a near-match to any watercolor paints you might already have.\u00a0<\/b><\/p>\n I recommend starting with a range of 10 colours<\/strong>, which I call the Essential Range and which will allow you to complete the beginner level tutorials in my online School. Most of these 10 colours can’t be substituted by mixing from other paints on this list. However, as you’ll see below, many paints in the Essential Range can be used to mix colours in the 8 Additional Paints list further down the page.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Once you have the essential paints, you can add the following 8 paints to your collection gradually so you have all the colours I have in my palette. Many of these can be substituted by mixing paints from the Essential Range, though mixing gets more complicated when you’re mixing paints you’ve substituted.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\n Paint information Below, you’ll find the full list of the 18 watercolor paints I use on my palette.
