I discovered this genius empty film container idea from Liz Steel after finding an oil well with a screw top I thought I might use.
I'll test both out on my palette before I go.

35mm film cannisters are excellent (lightproof = waterproof) and pass the shake test. I think extra water is a must even if you mainly use a waterbrush. Another good one is the small Listerine bottles - after you've used the contents obviously :)
Oh Michael, where can I get my hands on an empty 35mm cannister?
I have re-fil bottles sorted, just need a cannister for using to clean my brush while painting.
I love the idea of 35mm canisters for extra water! Anita, let me know if you have any trouble getting hold of them as I can pop a couple in the mail to you.
Btw, love the sketch!
Hi Anita. Sorry about the delay in replying - Just back from hols in the Azores:) No time for sketching - too much to see and too beautiful - but got lots of photos to work from at home.
I've got a few spare film cannisters so I can bung a couple in the post for you if Serena hasn't done that already.
