This tiny set can be tucked away in a purse and used on the fly...when inspiration hits.Having an empty box let's you choose the colors, rather than having them chosen for you. That said, though, I use some pan sets with pre-arranged colors, and they work just fine. <br /><br />My normal watercolor box is bigger than this tiny set. It consists of fuller range of colors that are also tube colors squeezed into empty slots. I replace them as needed. Sometimes, I just use a large enamel tray, and the colors run into each other.Karen Winslowhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14849218272902381062noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17012811.post-59401324154271574912011-10-01T09:18:20.498-07:002011-10-01T09:18:20.498-07:00These are great ideas, thanks for showing us your ...These are great ideas, thanks for showing us your cute little set-up.<br />Do you prefer watercolor paint in tubes, or as hard cakes? I see you have squeezed paint; I have a gift set of hard paints, and I wonder if having to work the water into them is not the easiest way. Painting outdoors is tough enough!Judy P.https://www.blogger.com/profile/09176284042670900772noreply@blogger.com
