Moleskine Eleven
The Swatch Book. Book One
In 2018 I started using a moleskine A5 landscape watercolour sketchbook as a swatch book.
As I had several small sets of watercolour paints and inks, I wanted somewhere where I had a swatch of each colour and the name.
Also I thought it would be interesting if I documented each palette I had by putting each colour down in the order in which they sat in the tin. Which is great as I can see the evolution of the palette.
My Cass art, Schmincke and Windsor and Newton are possibly the ones that have grown and changed the most since starting the book. Also the amount of pallets have grown since I done a post back in May 2018 Water Colour Paint And Pallet Collection. I only had half a dozen pallets back then, now I have quite a few. A lot of them are in this book but As it got full there are some missing.
(May I'll go through them all and give each one a post.)
I decided to put my Cass Art and Jackson Art water colour paints in the same pallet as both of them are made with a honey binder and work really well together |
A Gallo is a Italian brand which I have yet to use properly
The White Knights brand is a lovely set. How ever since the war in Ukraine stared in 2022 it is hard to find UK art suppliers that stock them.
