Happy New Paints

I was very fortunate to receive a set of Japanese watercolour paints for Christmas.  I already have pans of Cotman watercolour paints in the traditional colour palette but wanted to try some new vibrant colours.  There is a beautiful turquoise shade and a wedgewood blue colour and even four metallic!

It seems such a shame to use them but I believe that they are the catalyst I need to get painting!

Wishing you all a Happy New Year full of creative opportunities x

  4. Each of us could have received the identical color box and in the hands of not a one of us would the results be the same. Isn't that magical?
    Happy new year, Simone.

  12. Metallic paints, wow what will they inspire you to do?
    These colours are really zingy, just the thing for dull, colourless days in winter!
