I have mostly been using Pocket Palettes, letting my old plastic pans of watercolor go to waste. So I decided to put together any pans I still have in a Neocolor II crayon tin, matching them to whatever my current Pocket Palette color choices are to keep on my desk, adding metal pans of any colors I don’t already have in plastic pans . . . Eventually the plastic pans will be used up. These metal pans from arttoolkit.com are also available in a larger size that fits big brushes — with these shallower pans, you can load a big brush without ruining the tips digging paint out.My current palette choices are painted out on these 2 sketchbook pages, including 2 “light gray” mixes that I stirred together directly in the pan with a toothpick. Not sure if I will continue using them or not — just an experiment for now.
Enjoyed catching up on all your posts. Corrie Ten Boom's story is amazing. Have you read "Tramp for the Lord"? It is good too. Loved seeing your sketches. Have a great week.
ReplyDeleteAfter the first time reading The Hiding Place, I read everything I could written by or about Corrie Ten Boom — such an amazing story!
