What is this?

A 40-page watercolor guide built around 14 limited palette recipes, each one inspired by the Nordic landscapes I know by heart. Misty coastlines, autumn forests, winter archipelagos, pale spring light. Every palette uses three or four colors, no more, and every one of them comes straight from my own painting practice.

This isn't a theory book. It's a desk guide. Something you open, mix from, and paint with.

What’s inside

Digital PDF download (40 pages)

  • A deep dive into limited palette work β€” why fewer colors create more harmony, how to mix your own greys and greens, and why the colors you already have are enough.

  • An introduction to each color in the main palette β€” how it behaves, what it's good for, and what to watch out for.

  • Value and mixing charts to fill in yourself

  • 14 color recipes with key mixes, mixing notes and tips.

Everything you need to go straight to your desk and paint.

I get asked about my colors constantly, this guide is my answer. Not just the names, but the why and the how. The mixes I return to again and again, and what I've learned from working with a small, considered palette for years.

  • All recipes in this guide are based on Winsor & Newton watercolors. If you're working with a different brand the mixes may look slightly different, as shades can vary between manufacturers.
