I like to sketch my current palette on the first page of a new sketchbook (in the case, a Stillman and Birn Alpha 8 x 10). It was time to top up the pans, so I decided to make a few changes, adding in Lavender and Cobalt Turquoise Light for some fresh spring tones. My paints are nearly all Daniel Smith, with a couple of Schminckes. Some of the initials make me smile—FU (French Ultramarine), GAG (Green Apatite Genuine).
