Tools: Windsor & Newton water color tray

I acquired this handy Windsor & Newton water color tray back in the late 70s when I was in college. I don’t do much water color work but it does come in handy now and then when I need to do some quick sketches.

It is made of tin and folds in half to make it easy to travel with. It can hold several small brushes and has a thumb hole to make it easy to hold if you want to. It is coated with durable white paint on the inside and black on the outside.

Over the next few days I will post some work that I did when I was attending college and university. So let’s begin with a water color when I was just starting to work with the medium.

An early water color painting on illustration board using only one rounded brush. There is no date on this piece and I think it was done circa 1977 or 1978 when I was attending Ricks College now known as BYU Idaho.
