It's time for my annual watercolor palette refresh video. Things were a little bit easier this time, though it's always difficult to narrow down my choices to fit into my travel palette! This year I'm going to the US, Ireland, France and Spain, and I am super excited to take this palette along. #watercolor #swatching #artsupplies
