Peerless Watercolors Are Amazing!

I found these wonderful Watercolors through Jane Davenport's blog. This amazing artist was able to open my eyes to an all new type of watercolors. You can look up the history of the Peerless Watercolors, and it is truly fascinating.

These colors are sold in little card like paper and on the paper is a concentration of water colors. Jane showed how she cut strips of each color, then arranged them in order according to shade, and used some double sided tape to put together a small pallet of these colors. These colors are so VIBRANT and rich. And the best part is they last forever! I don't understand the science behind it all, but these things are well worth the money.

I did a bit of browsing around on the internet to find the best prices and I found that they were actually cheaper on the Peerless website, even with shipping, then my favorite store Amazon. I found that a store in New York sold them, and it ended up being one about 10-15 blocks from my hotel. So, as soon as I got to the hotel room I hit the ground running.


This store was everything I ever wanted in a store - if there was such thing as a "dream" store this would be it! The Ink Pad is AMAZING. This store had everything - stamps, stickers, stencils, ink pads, books, post cards, wax, paper tape, paper, markers, pens, colored pencils - just on and on. And it was all over the place, no specific order really other then stamps being in one section, stencils in another, etc. Just a plethora of everything. The owner was there when I came and she was such a sweetheart. She was very helpful and I walked out spending over 200 dollars - but that is okay because it is one of the reasons I wanted to go.

 

 So I, naturally, love all these yummy colors and I cant get enough. WELL worth the money you put into them - no drying out, they last a long time and they are easy to use. Here they are all folded up and in my traveling art case.

Have a great day, you guys!
