Hey my lovely watercolor friends! We had a crazy few weeks here with family events, summer and I took time to sit down and finish the first draft of my book which I finished TODAY. 312 pages and ready for editing oh my. I will definitely get all caught back up on content and emails now that I can finally breathe(ish).

AMAZING NEWS!
I'm super excited to share the news that I have gone and purchased almost every tube and pan available for my next color comparison, and will be doing similar from now on, giving you the ultimate comparison!
Coming up here in two weeks you will see Indigo featuring 20 different brands! I will also take those same colors and do a student-grade versus artist-grade comparison.
After that, dot cards will be made and sold on my new Etsy so that if one of those brand pique your interest, you can purchase them to try without having to endure the cost of the buying them all!
So get ready, my comparisons are going to have MORE colors, MORE brands.
A membership is launching soon on my channel which will help me pay for these tubes, as obviously I don't need 20 different brands of Indigo, and members will get special discounts along with free dot cards for supporting my channel -- so keep an eye out.
I will also be going back and redoing any past comparisons, adding MORE colors to the comparison videos for you to enjoy.

I'm so sorry for my disappearance the past few months. From my son's injury to two deaths in the family, holidays and now a kiddo with the flu, strep and ear infection (at once). So I plan to restart content on the 1st. New, fresh year. See you all soon! Happy new year π

I'm planning a paint palette destash, including budget brands, artist-quality brands, random palettes and even handmade watercolors I just don't use much anymore. Only issue is, my best/most available time to stream is during the day...so I'm debating how many of you would be around for a daytime destash (don't worry, you can claim your destash paints after the stream).

It's been a minute before I've posted any videos, but I haven't forgotten! I was getting some things in order to do watercolor comparison videos! They will be launching here very soon. I'll compare pigments between brands, but also names just so you can see the different pigments companies add to their version of "XYZ Color" and how different they can be. It will be an extensive list, so, if there are any pigment numbers or color names you'd like to see first, let me know! I'm going to have an extensive variation of brands too ;)
