Mon Amie Amy Gift Shop, Ashburn VA 20147, Gifts for all occasions
Most watercolor kits assume you'll paint at a table — the Elizabeth Wade Studio 24-color watercolor set assumes you won't. Whether you're sketching on a hiking trail, filling pages at a café, or settling into a vineyard afternoon with a sketchbook, this set is built so the kit itself never slows you down. Twenty-four pigments, a water brush, and a dedicated mixing tin travel together in one compact metal case, so you open it and paint — nothing else to hunt for, no separate cup to knock over.
The white-covered metal tin keeps colors protected and visible at a glance, and the built-in mixing area gives you a clean surface for blending without improvising on a napkin or the back of your hand. The included water brush holds its own reservoir, so even water is part of the kit — not an afterthought you have to plan around.
Care & Cleaning
To keep your Elizabeth Wade Studio watercolor set in good shape, rinse the water brush thoroughly after each session by flushing clean water through the reservoir until it runs clear — this prevents pigment buildup inside the barrel. Wipe down the mixing tin with a damp cloth or paper towel while paint is still wet; dried watercolor is harder to clean but will lift with a little water and light scrubbing. The metal tin itself needs only an occasional wipe on the exterior to stay looking sharp. Let everything dry before closing the lid to avoid moisture trapping against the pans. Stored this way, a quality watercolor set like this one will stay ready for the next outing — trail, café, or otherwise.
