Make Your Own Watercolor Medium (for handmade watercolors)

Making watercolor medium from the recipe I used to make my handmade watercolors with foraged pigments.

Do you sell your watercolors? I love the earthy colors. 😍 Thank you for sharing your expertise with us😊

I do occasionally sell some sample dot cards, and some of my extra pan paints. Do you do Instagram? I usually list them there when I have them - if you follow me there, you can DM me and I’ll let you know when I have some available. @kjodigear

Hi wonderful tutorial. Where do you buy the small glass paint jars with metal lids?

[@KJodiGear]

I buy the vials on amazon, they come in different sizes. You can also find slightly bigger jars (Google rooster mason jar shots) that will hold more pigment.

@@KJodiGear thank you! Can’t seem to find it. I’m looking for the very small/flat ones you showed. Looks like a lip balm container

@@elinlee17 oh, sorry! Those are plastic, they were given to me by someone. Pretty sure they are lip balm containers! Let me see if I can find them.

@elinlee17 i can’t find them online, but what does show up are the little flat round bead containers with clear screw tops that you can get at any craft store (I’ve even seen them at walmart). They are a little bigger than the ones I have, but they would work for storing watercolor temporarily. (They don’t seal airtight, but that wouldn’t really matter). I have purchased some glass ones with metal lids from amazon for my oil paints (they are in the oil paint video) - I really like those, but many of the comments complained about them arriving broken (and several of mine did).
