NEW! Custom Schmincke Square Palette
Previous Wet Paint Custom Schmincke Palette Holy COW!! I heard from Kate at Wet Paint and she confirmed that indeed they ARE making a new CUSTOM SCHMINCKE PALETTE for October! Yes! THIS October. They’re not waiting until 2018 which means we don’t have to wait either. I’m thrilled. I didn’t get one of the last wonderful…
The New Schmincke Watercolors
Schmincke has brought out 35 new watercolors to celebrate their 125th year. That brings their color count to 140 brilliant watercolors. Wet Paint provided me with the New Schmincke’s dot card which is unavailable to the general public at this time. They’re a terrific place to purchase Schmincke watercolors. They have good prices with low shipping…
New Winsor & Newton Supplies
Last month I won three tubes of Artist quality Winsor & Newton watercolors, a Series 7 W&N brush and a spiral bound 5″ x 7″ sketchbook of 300gsm cold pressed watercolor paper. Really, I never win anything and since I won two gifts of paint in one month I’m taking it as a sign to…
Van Gogh Watercolors

My Van Gogh watercolor palette arrived a few days ago and I wanted to put the paint through it’s paces to see how it performs in relation to my normal Daniel Smith watercolors. The palette is plastic and has a removable mixing…
Test Driving QOR Watercolors

My forty-seventh birthday was mid last month and I was spoiled with cool art supplies (hey, what are you gonna give the rabid artist in your life?). I’ve been so lazy busy lately that it’s taken me this…
Ooh, Paint Porn!!
I know, don’t all we artist love, just LOVE seeing the palette of other painters. I absolutely love it when my fellow artists swatch their new paint or show their new tools. I don’t have new tools (I’m still coveting the Whiskey Painter’s Master Palette and have for AGES but that’s nothing new). I do…
Circles & Lines
Color Circles ll So, today I’m playing with paint and color circles again. My two new colors arrived from WetPaintArt.com. (I love them for shipping to Canada, their shipping charges are so darn reasonable!) I didn’t have Daniel Smith’s burnt sienna or sap green in my palette, I had other brands. I hated the other substitutes…
