Handmade Watercolor Set - 24 Vintage Muted Tones - "Dirty" Color Palette Box

These are primarily transparent and semi-transparent watercolors. However, because our focus for this collection is on vintage, muted tones—essentially, "dirty" colors—they all possess a degree of translucency. The appearance of muddy or "dirty" colors often arises from contrast. For example, black clothing can appear slimming, and certain vibrant reds might not suit yellow undertones, making the skin appear more sallow. Strictly speaking, colors aren't inherently "dirty," but their perceived muddiness often comes from using overly bright shades or accidentally mixing colors in certain areas, leading to an overall "dirty" look. The 24 colors in this set deliberately take the opposite approach, utilizing currently trending vintage, or "dirty," hues. https://images.plurk.com/3rPlSuvoSebHrvpQqpAMiY.jpg Typically, most watercolor techniques involve mixing colors; direct application can easily result in an overly garish finish. The image above demonstrates "direct application." With this vintage palette, direct application naturally avoids an overly harsh look. Of course, this set itself won't produce bright, vivid colors, so please use it in conjunction with commercially available watercolors when necessary. https://images.plurk.com/5IItI8TG5f9Y8mAh3bX1Wy.jpg This is a comparison of muted tones, showing how the overall palette is deepened with a layer of grey. The 24 selected colors are those I personally find most useful and are the shades I consistently adjust manually. Among them are grey-blue purples that can be used directly for shadows, allowing you to explore their nuances. Contents: One box of 24 solid watercolors, 1ml each.
