Limiting the palette - gouache vs watercolour

Liz Steel is sharing different ways to limit her sketching palette on her Patreon page at the moment. I went on a tangent this afternoon and took two older watercolour palettes and one gouache, and used three colours in little squares. Looking at this tells me why watercolour will always be my Number 1 choice. Even if I can't remember what colours I have put in the pans, there is magic happening. In all honesty, I still know too little about gouache, but I'm at a stage in my life where I want to push further in my watercolour journey rather than start all over again with a different media. But I could change my mind next week, you never know!!
