One question I get asked by beginning watercolorists is about how to arrange the colors on a palette.
When arranging your palette, it is best to put all your yellows together, then all your reds, and finally all your blues. I also like to keep my colors that I mix often close together (such as French Ultramarine Blue and Burnt Sienna)
I also always position my palette the same way when I paint. I now know where each one of my colors is and I don’t have to think about which color is which while I am painting.
