Create with Nature: Autumn Themed Handmade Watercolours by Dan Barrett

🍂 Introducing My Autumn-Inspired Handmade Watercolour Palette

As the leaves start turning and the days grow shorter, I’ve been inspired to create a watercolour palette that captures the warm, rich, and moody colours of autumn. This isn’t just any palette, it’s a limited batch of handmade watercolours, crafted with care and designed to bring the essence of nature straight into your artwork.

I’m excited to share a sneak peek of the set, which will officially go on sale on October 3rd.

The Inspiration Behind the Autumn Palette

Autumn is my favourite season for colour. From golden yellows to burnt oranges, deep reds, and mossy greens, there’s a richness in nature that feels both cosy and dramatic. This palette is my attempt to translate that feeling into paint. You can bring the beauty of fall into your botanical art, illustrations, or creative projects.

Each colour was carefully chosen to reflect elements of the season: the fading sunlight, crisp fallen leaves, and subtle woodland tones. Whether you’re painting a bold autumnal flower or a delicate landscape, these colours are versatile and expressive.

Crafting the Palette: Handmade With Care

I love the tactile side of painting, so I wanted this palette to be as hands-on as possible. Every pigment was ground, mixed, and mulled by hand in small batches. The process is meditative for me, and it ensures that each pan is consistent in texture, vibrancy, and flow.

The set comes in a sleek tin, perfect for keeping your paints safe and ready to travel with you. I’ve added a stunning holographic sticker on the front so it will also look great sat on your desk. I’ve also included a blank colour chart for you to swatch out your colours. I’ve included the pigment information too so that it is easier to get to know your colours.

Creating With the Palette

The most exciting part is seeing how these colours come alive on paper. I’ve been experimenting with everything from loose botanical sketches to more detailed illustrations, and the autumn palette really shines in capturing nature’s warmth.

Using handmade watercolours gives a depth and richness to your work that’s hard to replicate with commercial paints. They’re artist quality, and I’ve tuned them specifically to work beautifully on a range of papers.
