I think that the new five-color palette that Vesper introduced was very well-explained. Vesper showed through modeling how the palette was different from what has been traditionally promoted as a great watercolor palette and also explained why it is different chemically. I would have loved to see a few more examples of the palette in other illustrations and I would have loved it if there was a materials list added to the documents so I could go out and buy the supplies before watching the exercises. Very informative!

Great tips, precious secrets revealed about watercolors. Thank you very much for sharing those !

Thank you for sharing the knowledge you have regarding chemically based colors. Thank you SVS for sending the notice about this video to my email. The timing was perfect. I am struggling with my palette with my only standard being that the colors must be luminous and not streaky. This is paramount in my palette search, yet by glazing, I am getting dulled down colors in my shadows. I had just begun to think to myself that I would be safe using cobalt paints because they repeatedly glow and mix extraordinarily. This video came at just the right time to confirm my findings on cobalt but also to continue with the madders and copper based colors. I also recently saw a video from another artist who paired Brown Madder (madder root) and verditer blue (a cobalt) for her white shadows. They are coming from Blicks any day. This helps affirm the direction I'm going. Thanks so much.

Vesper takes us through a side by side demo which really accentuates the difference in her palettes color choices and the result. Highly recommend.
