Penny Horsley from Spain shared her favorite watercolor palette and techniques:

Here’s a quick Q&A with Penny:

If you could take only three colors with you on vacation, which three would they be?
I would take prime colors, of course  – Ultramarine Blue, Permanent Alizarin Crimson and Hansa Yellow Light.

Tell us about a recent art show you attended.
A recent exhibition I enjoyed was the ECWS Symposium in Bilbao, Spain last fall. It was a really good show with incredible demos. Bilbao has a wonderful school of watercolor, too.

What were the last reference photos you shot for a painting?
Flowers – I enjoy painting flowers.

What’s the best piece of advice another artist has given you?
Charles Reid said “Don’t paint all the windows in a building.”

What are you excited about working on next?
I am excited about portraits at the moment.
