New Jersey artist Charles Kearns recently purchased a Pocket Palette and took the leap from student grade Cotman paints to Daniel Smith artist grade watercolors. While the cost of high quality paint can initially appear daunting, it’s totally worth it! A little bit goes a long way and the colors are much richer. Charles shared his palette and initial explorations on his blog. Ahh, the promise of fresh paint. Thanks for sharing, Charles!
