Self isolation day 118 - let's talk water

Something I really enjoy doing is taking the time to get my paint well-mixed.  Yes, I have said before that it is a rather zen-like occupation.  But, let me take a moment and share that the best way I have found to add water to paint in the wells on my palette.  It is by using this:  A condiment bottle.  Yep, spend a whole whopping 99 cents and purchase one of these see-through bottles.  Fill it with distilled water and voila! - the best money you will spend on supplies for the foreseeable future.  Let me share that many years ago I started with a spray bottle.  My own experience is that it was messy and inconsistent...not enough control, therefore I was not satisfied.  I moved on to a small squeeze bottle that I found at a local craft store.  Much better, but the size was too small.  It only held enough fluid to go around the wells one time before I had to refill it.  So one summer I was standing in the check out line at the grocery store and noticed a see-through condiment bottle.  Not red, not yellow, but clear.  It is perfection.  I hope you will give it a try and you find it enjoyable too.  Now go mix up some color.  Back to my brushes.
