making your own mini paint tins



I always have watercolors with me, with a variety of waterbrushes and pens. In the metal tins I put empty half-pans (stuck down with double-sticky tape), then filled them with Winsor-Newton tube paint in primary and secondary colors.

In the lid of the tiniest tin I put 2 colors in the lid, separated by a line of silicone seal so one doesn't get wet when the other is being used.

In the eyeshadow box I put a variety of Daniel Smith tube paint.I also have half-pans in an Altoids tin and a larger Penguin mints tin.

I like fiddling with art supplies almost as much as I like actually using them.
