If you are new to watercolour it may surprise you to learn that the fewer the number of colours included in a painting, the more colourful the watercolour will appear. The use of a few colours in a painting is termed a limited palette. The concept became the guiding principle for my watercolour painting quite early on, and even when I use a wider range of colours in a painting, it is still the limited palette thinking that guides the choice of colours selected.
A limited palette is far from limiting. It not only makes watercolours appear more – which explores this exciting topic in more depth, and in a practical and explanatory format.
