These are so cool. What is the matter with me that I love watercolor sets of all kinds almost as much as I like using them? LOL...I can't stop! I love your custom sets!!!

[KateJosTube]

@theflightyartist You're asking the wrong person! I love MAKING them!

[Peinteuse48]

Wonderful & resourceful. I've been learning from your books over the years & it's nice to hear you in person! :-)

@Peinteuse48 Glad you enjoyed it!

@bugeyedmonster2 Yep, I buy on eBay, but you're right, if it goes over my limit, I stop. No auction fever here!

I use several different water containers. For casual journal sketching, most often it's a little spray bottle I found in the travel department of my discount store. I was lucky enough to find one just enough bigger that I could cut the bottom off for a cup. I also use an old 35mm film can, an plastic jar herbs came in, a leakproof small plastic freezer container!

@KateJosTube I found one pretty cheaply on eBay. The thing with ebay is that you have to set yourself a limit, and if the bidding goes over your limit, let the item go. Forget it exists! And then just prowl ebay looking for another.

Cool video, thanks for posting.

One question, how do you carry water? Do you have a small separate water container in your purse?

When I took a bus often, I found obtaining water to do watercolor sketches a problem. And not every screw top bottle holds water well. (I've had a few tops that have popped off. Not fun.)

Anyway, thanks for posting this. I have the Neocolor tin and I never would have thought of using it in this fashion.

@bsonenthal1 Yep, we still need to USE them, don't we! :-) I love the old WInsor & Newton sets, too...not everyone can find or afford them, it appears.

Kate thank you for sharing this. you seem to find more and more ways of making your painting portable... the only issue i see is that no matter how portable the paint set....the act of painting requires time and space..winsor newton produced a set that resembles a pocket "flip" phone with eight half pans also very portable not to exclude the "field" set also designed for the portable artist thank you again...
