About the video

This video is a deep dive into how I sort through my many, many tubes of gouache and watercolor and pick just 24 colors for my new Schmincke watercolor tin! I go into the reasons why I choose every single color. I’ll be traveling a lot this year and I want the perfect, versatile painting kit.
