Woohoo I cannot wait – Kathy Racoosin is back with the fourth The Daily Marker Color Challenge – 30 days setting aside time each day to colour in- even if just for 5 minutes. I’ve loved them all but last time my 30 days were cut pretty short when Ruby was born 20 days into the challenge. This time I am going back to work but not until Feb 25th so I’m getting my mediums ready now!!!
This weekend I finally got around to organizing all of my Peerless watercolors into a handy binder. I attached the peerless on top of a clear binder pocket with glue dots, and then labeled a swatch of color on the inside (only the swatches are watercolor paper as I didn’t want to waste any!). The binder is from Target for less than $5.
I chose not to cut my smaller peerless squares up and instead cut down the original pack size to match. As I had some of the bigger pieces left over, Hank my stepson and I made a palette just for him. He loves to colour and these paints are fantastic for kids – much less mess. I seem to remember my mum had a set!
Here is Hank with his palette and the masterpiece he coloured.
I love his style – he is only 4 and loves to use all the colours in the palette in such a unique way. I got the image from a website of free colouring in pages!!
I also promised myself I couldn’t swatch out the next set of colouring medium until I make at least one card or colour in with these 🙂
You should definitely try and join in with the #thedailymarker30day and visit Kathy’s blog – www.thedailymarker.com for all the details. I typically share a lot more on my Instagram feed (@soulbyte) so please follow me there!!

I soooo want to try the peerless watercolors but can't really justify it as I have 3 other kinds of watercolors already lol! Your stepson is quite the budding "artiste"!
Hmm, maybe wait for MFT to do another sale then get them there? 25% off = justified 🙂
