The Full Story

Wandering Whimsy Watercolor

As an artist, I'm a big fan of quality supplies. I mean, who doesn't like to collect art supplies? Theres nothing more fun than getting a package and realizing it's something new and fun to play with! 
Several years ago I fell in love with handmade watercolors and quickly began to amass a collection. 

Sometimes they were wonderful, sometimes they were a little disappointing. Too grainy, not vibrant enought, they didn't rewet the way I wanted or give me enough "spread" on my pieces.
During this time I realized that what I really wanted was to be able to capture the places and moments I visited during my adventures and make them into colors. I remember moments in color and sound. I wanted to share that with people, but I wanted to be sure that my paints were everything I wanted them to be.
I began a project that didn't have a name for quite some time and after years of trial and error, I'm pleased to begin providing artist grade handmade watercolors of my own, based on the places I visit and the memories I've made. I can't wait to see you capture your memories and adventures in my paints. #wanderingwhimsywatercolor
Each palette will be created in limited quantities with high quality ingredients.

Handmade Artisan Watercolors

Each pan and every color is mulled by hand with artist grade pigments, on a slab, and then mixed with my secret recipe for a handmade binder.

Mixed with a dash of clove and lavender oil as an anti-fungal, with JUST the right amount of wetting agent, these pans are READY to experience your adventures with you. 
I've spent several years playing with my formulas and I think you will love the vibrance, saturation and characteristics of these artisan paints as much as I do.

How to Shop

Each color is created in limited quantities

and currently sold in half pans.
Many palettes may only be released once,

though I may remake individual colors depending on popularity and how much I loved them! 
I will be doing "shop drops" regularly and the pans left will stay available until they are gone.
