After a few messy outdoor paintings the palette was in need of a good cleaning. There was so much salt on the paint that it crystalized giving this indoor painting a slight sparkle. When doing a painting like this there are no rules or objectives per say, just to make something different than the last one. I've done quite a lot of these palette cleansers by now, such that the pad is finally finished. I placed an order for a new pad, along with some 7 x 10" blocks that were on sale. Of all the thing a watercolour painter uses, its the paper that generally costs the most. Some of the paint is expensive but it lasts so long that the cost is rather low over all. As for the brushes, the synthetic ones do fine. I am still using one particular brush for over 20 years now and its still good!
