40-PAGE E-BOOK
COLOR MIXING RECIPES FOR MOODY LANDSCAPES
You know that feeling when a painting just clicks — when the colors feel completely right, like they grew from the same place? That's what a limited palette does. And that's what this guide is about.
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.
What’s inside
Digital PDF download (40 pages)
A deep dive into limited palette work — why fewer colors create more harmony, and why the colors you already have are enough.
An introduction to each color in the main palette — how it behaves, what it's good for, and what to watch out for.

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. The core palette is built around blues and earth tones, with a few additional colors appearing in specific recipes. You don't need everything to get started — most recipes use just three or four pigments and many share the same colors.
