Today’s Tidbit is a sneak peek into one of the lessons of my Wizard of Oz Portrait Series workshop which is ONLY available on my Patreon Page.

Masterson Sta-Wet Palette Review

Today’s Tidbit is a review of the Masterson Premier State-Wet Palette. This product is available on my Amazon Art Supply Resource Page.
