My wife was given a little tin box to put watercolours in and seeing it, I couldn’t resist buying one myself. I have put a basic range of 6 colours in half-pans in it (though I might split some of these into two quarter pans), including some relatively new colours that I don’t use often. It’s so small (just 6x5cm) that it fits in my roll up pencil case.

There’s something really charming about this—small in size, but full of creative possibility.
That little tin box feels almost like an invitation to paint anywhere, anytime. The way you’ve thoughtfully chosen a compact palette—even experimenting with colors you don’t usually reach for—adds a sense of quiet curiosity to it.
