I am trying not to be a watercolor paint hoarder but I couldn\u2019t help but dream up a tiny plein air set when I got a free small tin of mints from a booth at ALA.<\/p>\n

I am using mostly Windsor and Newton Professional Artists watercolor paints, but I am now also experimenting with Daniel Smith watercolors as well. I have Moonglow in this set, which I love! It\u2019s an inky dark hue with purple undertones. It\u2019s wonderful for shadows.<\/p>\n

I used this set at Jenny Brown\u2019s Art and Wine Experience, and it really worked out. I hope to do more plein air painting and urban sketching with this set, a pouch of drawing materials, and a sketchbook. I also purchased a collapsible stool, but I have only used it once. The stool didn\u2019t come with a strap to carry it, so I borrowed my daughter\u2019s yoga bag strap, and that worked pretty well.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ll keep you posted if I make it out to a park or garden to paint with this set. It\u2019s just been so hot lately that I have no motivation! Maybe in the fall!<\/p>\n
