 Hey guys, so we're going to do a little watercoloring today. I have a couple of things I wanted to go over with you. And I don't have time right now to do a live broadcast, so we're going to do a recording. One of them is, I'll talk about this and this in a minute, so one of them is this new palette I found, new to me I should say. It is by Holbein and they do sell these, they're called a Palm Box, I believe. They do sell these with paints in them, but they also can get the empty boxes on eBay and if I remember to, I will put a link to at least one of the listings so that you can get a description of what to look for on the internet. They do come from China, so they take a while to get here, but they're really interesting. It reminds me a lot of the Koi Pocket Box, and I'm kind of liking it. I haven't put any paints in it yet, but I will be. So the box comes like this, and it has a mixing tray here that you can take out of the lid and attach to any one of the sides or down here to the base. You can put your paper up here that you're watercoloring on if you want, or use this for more mixing space. These have magnetic tape in them, so this is a magnetic box. So if you get some half pans, which the company that I bought this from also sells half pans, so I bought a bunch of half pans, and then take your little half pans and put a little piece of metal or a magnet on the back. Then they stick very nicely in the box, and don't come out. I will post a link to all of this in the description below. These little round magnets are by Bikes Technologies. This is a box of 250. They're little round disc magnets I specifically have for doing things like this. They're not expensive. I got them on Amazon, and again, I'll put it in the description below. But I just wanted to give you guys some ideas and show you really quick about this box. I'm pretty excited about it. I think it's really interesting, and it might be a fun way to take more than just 12 colors with you, like on vacation or something, because the box isn't that big. That being said, I have been known to try to take my Koi box on vacation, and every time I do that, I get stopped by TSA, and they want to know what that plastic box is in my bag. So, FYI. Alright, so that's that. I do have my Daniel Smith Big Box of Paints out, and we were recently at a Christmas potluck party, and it was a white elephant gift thing, and this was in the bag of other stuff that we got. And I'm sure it was intended to be a joke. I actually kind of like this calendar. There's some really great pictures of animals in this calendar, because it's a World Wildlife Fun calendar. And I thought it would be really great to use for some inspiration. Some of these animals are really great. There is one, this one, that my daughter thinks is creepy. I think that's actually hilarious. Turtles, and different things, I don't even know what that is. That's a sloth. But there was one in particular, isn't that pretty? There was one in particular, this one of the puffins, that I was really interested in maybe doing some kind of quick watercolor of it. So I'm going to work here in my Moleskine watercolor journal that we've worked in before, and I'm going to do some sort of little quick watercolor of the puffins. I'm going to speed forward through the process, and I'll be back when I'm done. Just a quick little watercolor of our puffins from the calendar page. I love it. It's just quick, easy, simple way to do a little study in my journal of the puffins, and you can find inspiration anywhere from a funny calendar that you got at a white elephant party to the pictures of the weeds in the backyard. Look around you. There's inspiration everywhere, and don't worry about being perfect, just worry about having fun. All right. That's it for today, everybody. Don't forget to like, share, and subscribe. If you can, that would be great, and support my channel, either by shopping over in my Etsy shop or going to the YouTube channel's main page and hitting that fan funding button. That's it for right now. I am filming this right before Christmas, so I hope you've all had a happy holiday and a happy new year, and I will see you soon. Bye, guys.
