The colors are in individual half pans which can be replaced easily with professional paints, but before I did that, I thought I&#8217;d test out the colors and see what they could do.<\/p>\n<p><div class='p_embed p_image_embed'><a href=\"http:\/\/jimswatercolors.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/12\/91355-image-jpeg-scaled-1000.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" alt=\"Image\" height=\"375\" src=\"http:\/\/jimswatercolors.files.wordpress.com\/2011\/12\/91355-image-jpeg-scaled-1000.jpg?w=300&#038;resize=500%2C375\" width=\"500\" \/><\/a><\/div>\n<\/p>\n<p>I used a Niji flat waterbrush to lay down each color.
