Wet-on-Wet
Watercolour Touch: as the name suggests, this is two wet areas of paint coming together on the page to form a bloom. Wet the areas you want first, then apply the pigment to watch them bloom together.

Mixing
This palette contains 12 colours however you can make an abundance of new colours with these.
Something fun to try: choose two colours and mix them together in varying levels.
Start with a circle of your pure colour one end of your paper, and work your second colour in bit by bit on your palette, applying to your page as you do so. Keep adding more until you’re at full strength of the second colour.
