I'm a London-based watercolour illustrator and this is where I post my videos about illustration and drawing on location.
Topping up my watercolour tin
In this video, I show how I fill my watercolour pans from watercolour tubes. A mix of a practical tutorial and a palette tour, I have listed all the colours in my tin below. This is my particular set up, my own personal colour choices and I realise that everyone has their own view!
Filling up my watercolour tin, maybe adding some new paint colours, has become a bit of a ritual when I go on a trip. It is nice to have freshly filled colours to use.
The tip to fill the tin with Blu Tack comes from architect and sketcher Liz Steel - www.lizsteel.com/
