I’m not a senior citizen but at a recent community game night, someone who is almost a senior told me about a free watercolor painting class/club that meets twice a week at the local senior center.
We decided to go and I’ve got to tell you, it was amazing. It turns out that your elders probably know a lot of things you don’t and they are friendly ;)
The topic of the class (after we painted our pieces) was paints. And I learned a lot of things I didn’t know about the quality and consistency of different paints.
When I got home I ordered these 3 tubes of Daniel Smith paint:
- Aureolin (Cobalt Yellow)
- Cobalt Blue
- Rose Madder Permanent
Some watercolor artists mix all their colors just using these three.
But I didn’t know that at first, so my painting at the event was using some cheap travel paints I bought from Amazon 🤣
