The Desert Set palette is built around the colours of arid, sun-bleached landscapes — warm ochres, tinted whites, earth browns, and dusty greens that define desert and semi-desert environments. It's a coherent working palette: every tube here will mix cleanly with at least two others in the set, and the warm tonal range suits landscape painting, portrait work with warm skin tones, and any practice built around a limited warm palette.
Michael Harding's earth pigments — the ochres, siennas, and umbers — are among the strongest in the range because they're used at full concentration, with no fillers to reduce cost or extend the tube. In earth-heavy palettes like this one, the difference from cheaper ranges is immediately noticeable in mixing strength and tonal depth.
Ten 40ml tubes, drawing heavily from Series 1 — the most accessible price point in the range — making this a good entry into Michael Harding's oil paints without the cost of cadmium-heavy sets.
- Set contents: Unbleached Titanium Dioxide, Warm White, Yellow Lake Deep, Yellow Ochre Deep, Venetian Red, Scarlet Lake, Burnt Umber, Italian Green Umber, Phthalocyanine Blue & Zinc White, Ultramarine Blue
- Tube size: 10 × 40ml
- Series range: Predominantly Series 1 and 2
- Fillers / extenders: None
- Made in: South Wales, UK
- Brand: Michael Harding
