🌿 SHOW NOTES
Schmincke is a 142-year-old company in Germany making what have become my favorite watercolors. I admire them for their eco-friendly sustainability efforts, commitment to their employees, and dedication to offering consistent, high quality paints. Today I’m listing a few of my favorite Schmincke facts and showing one of my most recent ink and wash sketchbook paintings.
