While catching up with my girlfriends over a leisurely lunch, we stumbled upon a hidden gem: Top Drawer. This charming store was a haven for creatives, brimming with an array of gorgeous art supplies and unique finds. As soon as I stepped inside, I was instantly captivated by the cand the inviting atmosphere.
The store was a treasure trove of inspiration, with shelves lined with an endless variety of paints, pens, pencils, watercolor pads, and more. Each item seemed to have its own story, and I couldn't resist exploring every nook and cranny.
One particular section caught my eye: the new Japanese watercolor paints. I was immediately drawn to their rich, vibrant hues and the promise of a unique painting experience. As a watercolor enthusiast, I knew I had to try them. Everytime I would go to the store, I would leave with a notebook, a beautiflly bound raw paper sketchbook, a tiny pencil, or a sharpener, you name it!
So you could imagine how ecstactic I was to collaborate with them on a new Japanese watercolor pallet drop.
To celebrate this serendipitous discovery, I decided to put the new paints to the test. I picked up a beautiful watercolor postcard featuring a serene autumnal scene and began to paint. The soft, buttery texture of the paints was a joy to use, and the colors blended seamlessly, creating a stunning depiction of the season. I couldn't help but feel a sense of peace and tranquility as I brought the scene to life. I finished the paintings with some beautiful golden, shimmery veins.
Top Drawer’s commitment to quality and their passion for art made them the perfect partner for any creative project. I was excited to explore the potential of using their products to create unique and inspiring pieces.
My visit to Top Drawer was a truly magical experience. It was more than just a shopping trip; it was a chance to connect with my creativity and discover a new love for Japanese watercolor paints and other materials. I left the store feeling inspired and excited and continue to surround my studio with these beautiful items.
