Watercolor artist travel supplies

Clare V basket bag with art supplies for day, and as a purse for evening

Water cup, compressed paper towels, travel sized sketchbook, caran dache crayons

I love full sized brushes in a brush roll, and a spacious palette

The best ways to add white to your watercolor paintings

I love adding white, even though some say you ‘aren’t supposed to’

Chinese white or titanium white in tubes or pots (watercolor paint)

Kuretake white ink is my favorite opaque white

Not super into rules, I add white to my watercolor paintings all the time. These are my favorites. #watercolor #sketchbook #watercolorrebel

From my brunch theme…I love illustrating food. Before I found art, I would spend hours cooking, reading cookbooks, and daydreaming about recipes. I didn’t realize it at the time because it felt purely functional (feeding my family) but it was my entry point into a creative life. #foodillustration
