\"watercolor-palettes1\"<\/p>\n

I’m one of those super productive procrastinators. At the moment, I have a load of laundry going, dinner is prepped, I’ve cleaned off my desk, unpacked the luggage meant for the canceled\u00a0teepee camping, paid bills, and have polished off a satisfying\u00a0meal\u00a0consisting of an avocado-tomato-egg sandwich. I even almost started to bake bread from scratch.<\/p>\n

\"watercolor-palettes3\"<\/p>\n

In short, I’ve done everything except what I’m supposed to be doing: working on the illustrations for book #3. But look! I’ve taken a small sampling of my many, many watercolor sets\u00a0and spent an unconscionable number of minutes\u00a0arranging them for a photo and I’ve also been painting color charts because those are undeniably useful though admittedly not necessary.<\/p>\n

The surest way for me to get motivated to take care of domestic\u00a0duties and superfluous tasks is to dangle\u00a0a work-related deadline in my direction. It doesn’t matter how much I enjoy the actual work for said deadline, I seem to find ways to avoid doing it until push comes to shove. Sigh.<\/p>\n

\"watercolor-palettes2\"<\/p>\n

Alright, enough procrastinating. I will be back on Friday with a lovely giveaway!<\/p>\n

P.S. The photos show my favorite watercolors that I use the most these days:<\/p>\n

Schmincke<\/a><\/p>\n

Maimeri Blu<\/a><\/p>\n

Angora<\/a><\/p>\n

Greenleaf & Blueberry<\/a><\/p>\n

Kuretake Gansai Tambi<\/a> (I have the 18- and<\/em> 36-color set — these may actually be my very very favorite)<\/p>\n

P.P.S. The giveaway\u00a0bundle<\/a> winner is Audie, congrats!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
