The Colour Swatch Wheel Every Watercolour Painter Should Make Have you ever bought a paint only to realise you already own something almost identical? Or forgotten which blue granulates, which green is the warmest, or which pink is your favourite?

Collecting them is an addiction. I'm not sure if it's one where admitting the addiction leads to recovery, or just being enabled more by fellow craft addicts

I am addicted to collecting tubes. I admit that I almost bought another one today. What adds to the problem is that it is so unorganized.

I'd forgotten that I'd pre-ordered the postcards from Waterstoness along with one of your older books before I knew that I could buy them from you directly. Got an email this week saying that it will be delivered soon. Very exciting 😃

I'm thinking I need to do this exercise that Harriet has shared to get all of my colours together, but then I fear that I'll see gaps and look to buy more!

I’m so excited to receive your lovely palette! Thank you for this wonderful idea of swatching our colors on a wheel! I think I’ll start tomorrow. It will be terrific to see them all in one book.

Yes, collecting art supplies is a legitimate hobby as far as I am concerned.

It’s so funny that you posted this as I sorted out all my paints and listed them with brand name, color, plus pigment #. I then thought of doing what you did in video. I have lots of circles to do!!!
