Paint

The watercolours I use are a mixture of Winsor and Newton and Schminke. Mostly it’s by accident, rather than design. There’s only the screamingly pink Opera Rose by Winsor and Newton that I am faithful to.

Aureolin

A lovely transparent yellow/green – great for light glazes
Raw Sienna

Yellow Ochre

My two go-to colours for painting browns in food
Translucent Orange – Schminke

I love this vibrant orange/red
Opera Rose – Winsor and Newton

Another one of my must-have’s – purely because it’s so eye-popping – great for the full range of pinks and purples.
May Green – Schminke

Permanent Sap Green – Winsor and newton

– My stand-by green’s for salads

(You’d think that my portable set and the home/studio set would be the same, wouldn’t you!)
