    I used to use my spare room for jewelry making, but since it has become a storage area. This is my second time getting into watercolor after a 7 year hiatus. I have all my supplies on a rolling cart and just wheel it out of the, now, storage room, park it at my sunlit kitchen table, get water and paint. It takes a minute or two at the most. My husband has joined me this time and has a cart of his own😆

    Thanks for the video and list! The Faber-Castell kneadable eraser is great for people who might have hand issues, like arthritis. I have found it to be very pliable and doesn't hurt my hands when I use it.

    Nice, well organized, compact work area. I prefer the blue, reusable shop towels to paper towel - slightly dampened with spray they have better control and absorption. Just a personal preference.

    I bought the PHIVE light back in 2021 when you recommended it and it's been terrific! I also bought your recommended mechanical pencil and that's been fine--might try the one you use now just to add to the collection.

    Excellent. I like my John Pike palette. I use white plastic lids from food packaging to contain areas of wash in mixing area. Ive also seen artists use caulk to make a small wall .

    • @holdmypaddle
      @holdmypaddle 11 месяцев назад +1

      I second the idea to adding a bead of caulk to divide the mixing area on the pallet.

    You have the Universal Pike Palette. The one in the picture you popped up on the screen is the 'big well' palette that has wells on a short side and both long sides and square wells in the corners. I prefer your model that has wells on one long side and both short sides. Thank you for another great video.

    Thank you for this visit to your studio and watercolor workspace. It was delightful to find I have and use much of what you shared for materials (including your brush set....it is wonderful!). Also many new tips and clever ideas I will be exploring (lighting and paper blocks). You bring such good stuff to my watercolor world including messages for mankind.

    Do you close your palette?

  • @FatMatters
    @FatMatters 11 месяцев назад

    How long do you use the rag that you use to absorb water from brushes. I see many artists using rags or sponges but they never talk about this. Do you clean and reuse? How do you dispose of the rags once you replace them?

    Ive become a very big fan of Baohong paper. If Arche's paper has become too pricy for you, Baohong is on the same level in quality, but not in price.

    Eric, i have only 30 minutes after day job and family...is it possible to paint in watercolour in such short time... because watercolour needs thinking timeand cant stop in between.please comment

    • @Cafewatercolor
      @Cafewatercolor  11 месяцев назад +5

      You can do something small and simple. And it is also ok to stop in between washes. I've done that many times. I finished the fist wash and come back next day.

    This is a beautiful set up 😮. May I ask! Is the tiny house the whole studio or do you live there too? Because if it’s all for 5he studio, it’s a fantastic idea.

    • @Cafewatercolor
      @Cafewatercolor  11 месяцев назад +1

      It's in my home backyard. But I can live here if I need to. Sometime my kids like to camp there. =)
