My father and I created a perfect wooden watercolor palette as a gift for my mother. In this video I show you the finished piece and the setup using QoR watercolors, a mixing chart and of course swatches.

Aside from the handmade palette the colour selection might inspire some of you or help you with colour choices for your own watercolor palette. Let me know, how you like the colour selection and what you think about the palette down in the comments! Would love to chat with you about it as it's a project, that makes me incredibly proud.
