The Palette Layout My palette is like a good friend. It has been with me all over the world, and is the same one I rely on in my studio. I always use the Jones Color Round watercolor palette. It is specifically designed for the twelve pigments of the color wheel. This feature is a big help to the watercolor painter. You can purchase this palette at most fine art supply resources. Pa g e - A - Day i d e a Make Your Own Template If you are using the palette I use, the Jones Color Round palette, you will want the tem- plate to be 7" (18cm) in diameter. If you are using a different palette, measure the diame- ter of that palette to determine how large to make your template. When your template is made, have it laminated for extra durability. Cut out the large outside circle of the tem- plate and the three small pigment circles with scissors. Use the black lines as a guide. Place the template over the palette. Now you are ready to pick a triad and experience the freedom of triadic painting.
