I discovered that yesterday was “World Pigment Day” thanks
to an email from Windsor & Newton. Honestly who makes up these names & days?,
but it is an excuse to post my revised portable watercolour palette based on
the idea of six primary colours (ie combining the photographic RGB scheme and
the printers CYM(k) schemes). BTW Being watercolour I’m not using black.
Whereas previously I had tried the conventional idea of a warm and cool version
of each, I’ve now concentrated on trying to get a transparent and opaque
version of each. Some of the pigments are same as before but I have more
transparent versions now. The #watercoloursocietyofvictoria ‘s #paintaway was a
great opportunity to try this out for “plein air” work. I enjoyed it a lot. (also see my instagram)
