But typically that’s the only time I’ll use fresh paint out and about. It has areas to hold water cups and real brushes. I do have a little “table” that is still in the prototype phase. (You’ll waste all the water in your Niji water brush just trying to rinse it of fresh paint.) I like to travel about light so carrying anything more than a water brush is usually not what I do. This is because fresh paint really needs a water source and real brushes to be useful. I work with fresh tube paint pretty much only in the studio. (If you want to see the video in which this topic came up, and see the other color chats we’ve been having, please use the link to subscribe to the Patreon site. So this post is to explain to you what I do with watercolor paints and why and I’m posting it on both my Patreon Site and RozWoundUp because I hope it will reach a lot of people and be useful. Questions there made me realize that not everyone has been in class with me before Patreon, or read the appropriate blog posts on RozWoundUp (now probably in the archive because they are from so long ago). A recent video on my Patreon Site mentioned my method for filling empty palette pans with fresh paint. In over 40 years of teaching watercolor painting I’ve fielded a ton of questions on how to manage watercolor paint. I hope this will help you think about how you approach paint and take it into the world to paint. I think it is useful here as well because I do get a lot of questions on this aspect of my practice and many posts on RWU relating to it are now in the non-public archive. Note: I’ll be published this post on my Patreon site in answer to some question. The front palette is a Winsor & Newton palette I pulled all the student grade paint out of and hand filled with Daniel Smith tube paints-and so it goes.
The far right palette with the Schimincke logo on the mixing area is actually a Schmincke gouache palette that I made from tube gouache as discussed below. These are some watercolor and gouache palettes I’ve used over the years.
