Review and Swatches of my favourite Watercolor Palette. Winsor & Newton.


I love this field box for plein air sketching and taking on my hikes in the National Park. 
Winsor & Newton Professional Watercolors are my favourite paints, with Daniel Smith Watercolors coming in a close second.
I love the coordinating Promarker Watercolor markers that Winsor & Newton make, along with their brushes, sketchbooks and paper.
I have made a review of the Promarkers on my channel as well. 
Here is the matching video in case you missed it.

Got 5 minutes for a no-mess art journal page? Try this!

 I have been collecting sticker books from the Spotlight Store. These inexpensive books are published by American Crafts and are full of colour coordinated sticker sheets, with quotes, flowers,birds, and design elements to make borders.

Perfect for those days when you feel like being creative , but don’t feel like getting out all your supplies and making a mess.

I use my Dylusions Travellers Notebook size journal for this. All the backgrounds are already coloured, and all you do is literally peel and stick! So Easy…So Fast…So Satisfying.
