Is it too soon for another color wheel?
This one is fresh off my paint brush, 8” square, watercolor paint on Arches cold press 100% cotton paper. I like cold press papers for my color studies because cold press is rougher than hot press paper, making the texture of the paints, especially the granulating ones, more pronounced.

@gwenbeads this is beautiful. Can I ask what brands and colors you are using here?

@firsthara I’ve collected my #watercolor from several different sources including big manufacturers: Daniel Smith, Winsor & Newton, Da Vinci as well as from various independent paint makers on Etsy like Rivervale, Poems About You, and Cape Cod Paints. All the paints I buy are professional grade, and I always check lightfastness ratings before buying, which must be at least very good, but usually excellent.

@gwenbeads @firsthara I had not heard of lightfastness ratings before but now I’m glad I know about them!
