When I bought my Mijello Mission Gold Pure Pigment Set, I also needed to order a big enough palette to ideally set them in. The obvious choice would be to go with one of the Mijello options, but the big ones were a bit expensive for me on ebay. So I found this one on Aliexpress, from a shop where I had already...
Mijello is a Korean company that was already well known for their quality paint palettes before they launched their own watercolor paints in 2012.

Watercolor has un unpredictable quality: once two wet colors meet on the paper, there's not much you can do but watch in awe. Mistakes can rarely be undone, you might as well just incorporate and embrace them....
I’ve recently travelled to the US and so I had the chance to get my hands on some art materials that are hard to get and/or are too expensive to get in Brazil. I’ve got some M.
