The supplies shown below are my current choice for a larger palette. This photo was taken after a thorough cleaning and a total palette makeover. Follow the link to see this process. Pictured is a paint tube wringer, bristle brush, butter knife, water and pliers (to pry off caps and squeeze the last splotch of paint from tube). You will also need plenty of paper towels, water and a spray bottle.

My large palette is a covered Robert E. Wood. When not painting for a couple of days, I uncover, spritz the paint with water, let it breathe for a while, respritz then recover.

About Pigments
My color choices have changed recently due to working on Yupo paper. I am now using more pigments with white in them as they seem to bind to the synthetic paper better.

I prefer DaVinci and Blick brand tube watercolors for their consistency, quality and price but I have also used Windsor and Newton, American Journey and Lukas.
