I splurged today and bought 3 tubes of Winsor and Newton watercolor tubes to try them out. I made a masterboard I did not love. I added some acrylic in places, which helped, but still don’t love.
But, in true masterboard fashion, when cut up (in this case, into 1" circles) it turns out to look like it was meant to be.
I added magnets to two, to start.
This was the masterboard it started from:
And a few envelopes:
I don’t love them, but they are more appealing to me in the photo.
The jury is still out on the new watercolors. I think I need to try something more specific when I play with them next. Of course, at professional grade, they are good!
