Waterdrops $5 AUD
Waterdrops are rounded, flat-ish pan-free watercolours, designed to be used in existing plastic or porcelain palettes.

Now we give the dry paint to you to pop into your existing palette! Wet the bottom with water or a bit of gum arabic to secure it to your palette. Sizes of Waterdrops vary due to the hand-poured nature, however average size is 2cm W x 2.5cm L so they will fit nicely into rectangular pans of a plastic palette.

I recently received the primary colors of this paint and wanted to add 3 more to complete a travel/everyday set. I ordered Storm, Kiwi, and Midas. Be still my heart about the Storm - it is now my favorite Indigo. The Kiwi is a vivid green that can be mixed up or down the green spectrum to give a wide range of foliage colors - love starting with green to mix those. And the sparkle of the Midas is amazing - it makes my heart sing!
Great paint, great depth of color, great service - you're going to love this!
