Honey, I Shrunk the Palette! Building a Tiny Travel Watercolor Kit

Описание: “I’m going on an adventure!”

In today’s video, I’m getting my travel kit ready for an upcoming holiday. I love my 18-color studio setup, but for this trip, I need to stay light, fast, and portable. You could say... “Honey, I Shrunk the Palette!” I’m showing you how I condensed my entire workspace into a mini folding palette and a fresh square sketchbook. To make sure I can still mix nearly every color under the sun, I’ve picked up a starter set of Holbein watercolor tubes that are coming with me on the road. And added a secret ingredient to make “The Magnificent Seven”

In this video, we cover:
