In this video, I color chart the watercolors in my limited pallete. Doing color studies like this is a great way to learn how to color mix, the basics of color theory, and how to create a chart you can reference for future paintings. This is a great beginner and advanced lessons for all watercolor artists to learn color theory basics, and what colors you should have in your pallete.
