Using up old art supplies

The theme in Liz Steel's Patreon is using up unused art supplies in our stash. Anything we want. So the other day, as I was grabbing some watercolours for the session with Suhita, I grabbed these little boxes I haven't used in a long long time. I sprayed a little water on top and they were like new.

I think the Sennelier set (on the left) was from the goodie bag in Amsterdam (2019), the half pans in the middle was a set I put together with some colours I wanted to experiment with. Some half pans are missing. The one on the right was the original Sennelier box in which the 8 colours on the left fitted, but I replaced them with 4 Aquarius colours I bought in Amsterdam. I have no idea where the yellow comes from. The dark colour in the bottom right is Aquarius's Caput Mortuum, which I bought in the hope it would help me paint the houses of Amsterdam!

Let's see what I get to do with these over the next couple weeks.
