Ultra Light watercolor travel set!  Can fit in your jean pocket!!

"A pencil, a water brush and a piece of cloth."

HE! HE!! Too much fun making this itty bitty watercolor palette.  Firstly, a little disclaimer, I didn't come up with this clever idea of making a miniature watercolor palette.  I saw my teacher, Glenn Vilppu using his little home-made watercolor palette, while we traveled in Europe.

Oh ... below is a pict of my little assistant.  In the old days, some painters used donkeys to help carry their heavy art supply, while they hike around painting at the countryside or in the wild.  Well ... I can't afford a donkey ... instead, I trained my little 10 pounds poodle to do the job.  Little travel watercolor set is pretty small ...

I ofter receive email from friends asking me about my work-in-progress.  Recently, Creative Bloq contacted me to write an article about my creative process.  Here is the article.  I also make a longer watercolor demo video to share with everyone.
