There's a list of the materials I used and some diagrams in this article.
Painting a macaw using Sennelier watercolors
It's unusual to get free samples when you buy paints (and that time I think what I bought was ink), so I was surprised when I received this free sample with Sennelier watercolors, even more so when I noticed they were 5ml cartridges! The smallest W&N Professional tubes are 5ml.
I decided to first move the paints to a container that would let me use them completely if I liked them, and then record a video with my impressions plus a mini tutorial.
