I'm often asked what palette/paint I use. Well mainly they are from a UK manufacturer called Winsor and Newton (although I think they are actually made in France now). The colours mainly used are...
Cadmium Orange
Cadmium Yellow
Cadmium Red
Light Red
Alizarin Crimson
Ultramarine Blue
Cobalt Blue
Cobalt Turquoise
Viridian Green
Yellow Ochre
Burnt Sienna
Burnt Umber
Neutral Tint (for getting those darks)
Quite a common mix of these to get darks for example is Ultramarine Blue, a bit of Burnt Sienna or Burnt Umber and a tiny bit of Alizarin Crimson.
A good green (for grass or trees is made up of Cobalt Turquoise and Yellow Ochre).
Have just discovered your site on YouTube and love your paintings and demonstrations.
I live in New Zealand and unfortunately unable to come to your work shops but I will continue to follow your demonstrations on line.

Hello Tim. Could you say what brand or manufacturer of white gouache do you use? I have already bought several and none works really well. Thanks. I love your paint. Manuel Carlos from Spain

I have recently been to one of your demonstrations and was very inspired by it. I have tried to source the mop brush you used but can’t find that brush on line or in our local art shops. Can you tell me where you got it from. There are similar ones for sale but don’t want to get the wrong one

Really enjoy watching and hopefully learning from your online videos! I was wondering about the size and brands of your small synthetic “detail” brush and the saber brush?
MANY THANKS!
John

I buy them in France. I don't think anyone stocks them in the UK. Have you googled 'raphael soft aqua' ?

You were demonstrating a painting using a three color palette. I got the names of the yellow and red but I could to understand the color of blue. Could you please tell me what that is?
I love your style and am trying to loosen so I bought the 18" mop and a waiting breathlessly for it to arrive. Thank you for all of your dems, it is such a gift to all of us. I will be sending a photo I painted using the realism style and am eager to see what you would do with it.
It has no boats though!

I want to know where I can purchase a folding to palette similar to the one you use, with four sides that fold out?
