Notes for your studio
THE JOURNAL / 01—04
Spend thoughtfully
Watercolor on a budget: give the paper a little thought.
Weight, texture, and fiber content explain more than an impressive-looking paint box. Here is what to compare.
Buy better

Compare paint by volume and paper by usable area, then count shipping and the supplies you will actually use.
Make it last
The cheapest brush is the one you do not have to replace.
A simple cleanup routine for acrylic and watercolor brushes, without turning brush care into another shopping list.
