The palettes I ordered are a Meeden 24 half-pan travel palette, and a Whiskey Painters 8 half-pan flask palette(which I have in my hands right now, actually.). As far as palettes go, I also have a 33-well plastic Master's Touch airtight palette that I use for my home-palette for paintings. I wanted something that I could take with me very easily, that was small, and ideally something light, but most importantly durable. I also wanted the choice between having a lot of colors(hence the Meeden) to choose from, and something that limited my colors and could fit in my pocket(the Whiskey Painters). My plan is to stock the Meeden with a full selection including convenience colors, and have the Whiskey Painter stocked with a Primaries Only palette(both CMY and RYB) so I have to mix my own intermediates and such since I need practice with color mixing.

Is the Schmincke ultramarine non-granulating? I haven't heard anything about their paints... I heard that Holbein has a really nice non-granulating Ultramarine I've been looking into.

Also, by 'technical' I didn't really mean stuff like architectural or really mathematically technical illustrations. I don't really know the word for the kind of illustration I do, but I like to try and put as much depth and texture in my illustrations as I can, but I prefer to use contrast and light values to create it, rather than relying on the paint to do it for me. Most of what I learned about how to handle watercolors I've learned through trial and error, practicing Sumi-e, a single book on Fantasy painting, and watching every single Bob Ross "Joy Of Painting" video and trying to translate what that video had over to watercolor from oil.

Edited to add a few details that I skipped out on. Still new to Reddit.
I think that I found it!
