Explore Palette

The Explore Palette includes 12 watercolors by Da Vinci Co. including: Hansa Yellow Medium, Permanent Red, Cerulean Blue Hue, Yellow Ochre, Red Rose Deep, Ultramarine Blue, Burnt Sienna, Da Vinci Violet, Sap Green, Burnt Umber, Payne’s Gray, and Perylene Green. These paints are made from concentrated, professional-grade pigments with a high degree of lightfastness.

The Explore Palette is an expanded, 12-color version of the Demi Explore Palette in a Pocket Palette, with four additional useful hues for painting quickly on the go, including Yellow Ochre for warm earth tones, Da Vinci Violet for brilliant flowers and deep shadows, Burnt Umber for rich browns, and Perylene Green for evergreen trees. This Palette features two Large Mixing Pans, maximizing mixing space.

The primary triad of Hansa Yellow Medium, Red Rose Deep, and Ultramarine Blue creates clean mixes around the color wheel, while the neutrals produce a range of earth tones, from grey to green to ochre.
