Collapsible and ideal for travel and painting on the go.

 

 

​Palette

Empty 18-well watercolour plastic palette.

 

 

​Round Palette

Round small 10-well plastic palette.

 

 

​Round Porcelain Palette

Round 12-weel porcelain palette.

 

 

​Stay Wet Palette

I use a stay-wet palette in my studio for my oils. I have a glass inserted in there, to cover the whole area, and I use a glass razor scraper to clean it up. I got the piece of glass custom cut to fit. The oils stay open (wet) for weeks in this way and last much longer.

 

 

Travel Watercolor Brushes

​Value Scale

Perfect Tool for determining Value in painting.

 

 

​View Finder

My viewfinder is not as clean as this one as it's been used so much!! I use it both in the studio sometimes to find still life set ups and outdoors to simplify my landscapes and narrow down the options.

 

 

​Water Brush

​Watercolour Brushes Travel set

I love this set of watercolour brushes as they keep a fantastic point, come in three sizes and they have the cap to protect them when put away.

 

 

​Wipe out Tool

This wipeout tool or Kemper tool is fantastic for “drawing'“ on the canvas by wiping paint off. I use it for signing my paintings too.
