Recently, I’ve been working on a series of topography style watercolor paintings. I’ve enjoyed this so much, I created a specialized palette for it. It consists of teals, greens, off-white (ecru) and muted orange. I have yet to use the orange, meant for indicating higher elevations, but the rest is working really well. It’s a beautiful collection of colors regardless of topic.
