Daniel Smith - Extra Fine Watercolours - Thomas Schaller's Master Artist Set - 10 Colours in 5mL Tubes

Thomas usually works with 12-14 colours on his everyday palette, so the challenge to pick only 10 of his favorites to create this Master Artist Set was daunting. He reworked the selection several times to find the perfect mix of impactful warms and cools for capturing light and dark. He chose the Mayan Orange versus several other reds for example, because it’s a “beautiful, versatile colour with a cool-down trait.”  He adores Imperial Purple and often employs it for strong contrasts. His favorite is Cobalt Teal Blue.  “It draws out different colours from everyday life. It can be shade, skies, skin, water, stonework, and so much more. The blue-green gives me so many options for expression.” Each colour in this set has its own individual strength, but Thomas believes this palette is well-rounded and offers a wide variety of colour mixes, encouraging unique expression from each artist.
