Watercolor & Gouache Palettes
Organization & Solutions
I have really been getting into Watercolor and Gouache again lately. It’s been a minute. I, like most current interests of mine, dove right in headfirst, figure out details afterwards. So even more recently, I have been solving some palette issues and made a few videos on my journey and ideas. I thought I would share these short videos on this topic.

How to Keep Jelly Gouache From Drying Out
I recently bout the Himi Jelly Gouache and I noticed is has a habit of drying out, especially the corner colors due to the lid not having a seal. I tried some cling wrap/saran wrap and let it sit for a week. Are they still moist? Here are my results.
