We both knew that, left in the packet like new, I’d never ever use those Peerless Watercolours and even though we’d come across a solution to that, we thought it a bit OCD.
But I’d already written the names on the back of each card square, because otherwise, how could I tell which side was the “loaded” side and which was the blank back?
Otherwise, how would I know that this purply pink square was Viridian Green? And, actually, the cards themselves are pretty messy to handle since the watercolour/dye dust comes off onto my hands quite readily.
So, there was nothing for it.
I had to do it.
Just the job for a day at home after a busy weekend.
I even put them in a suitably decorative cover and heard the chuckles from way over the Atlantic, there above the George Washington Bridge.
More from Devon in the next post.
