Do I take H2O seriously when painting? Great tip on containers. The big one on the nice cork holder is my favorite to do first rinse where water gets very dirty. Middle one is to get the leftover dirty jar water off the brush. Third jar is only used after first two rinses are done, and I get a really nice clean brush for a new color. Definitely all glass which are easy to keep clean regardless of media used. This fast process also makes my brushes happy and (maybe?) to last longer! 

You may notice several rolls of tape behind water bottles. Given how tape may rip paper no matter what kind of tape or paper I use, I keep a hairdryer nearby to use if the tape is non-compliant.

Your tips on definitely USING a palette AND also adding paint to the side of containers are genius. You can see I took palettes seriously when starting out. I rarely use the kinds at the back. And from now on, will follow your enlightened suggestion for where to place the paint!  Also, using your method, I will add water to spots near the paint for more options to dilute or strengthen pigments!

Liked your class and your teaching style, Suzy. Also the length was lovely.  You get an A+ from me, even after I've done H2O-painting for six years ago!
