Looking in my cabinet, the Suave products in the US have small caps on full size product, too.Rebeccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14587923490122317045noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052428857190834923.post-47525377855004095072015-04-01T14:34:27.795+01:002015-04-01T14:34:27.795+01:00They are stuck together to keep the blutack clean ...They are stuck together to keep the blutack clean in transport, Sharon. I don't use them like that. <br /><br />I'd forgotten about those oil & turps cups. Interesting thought. I'm not sure they would be quite big enough for water though.Lynne the Pencilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204943065923019653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052428857190834923.post-18657627211576947302015-04-01T14:05:03.386+01:002015-04-01T14:05:03.386+01:00I don't understand the caps either.

If you're putting this photo in a book, I think it should be retaken. It's not making sense at a glance. One could also use one of those side by side medium turp and oil cups that are used for oil painting. I don't do urban sketching so it's not a worry for me. I use either two small collapsible cups or one of the canvas water bags that folds flat.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04941946951959816996noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052428857190834923.post-52264407741910923042015-04-01T13:56:27.000+01:002015-04-01T13:56:27.000+01:00That's brilliant, Lynne!

It is my very clever bit of painting kit (can't take the credit - got the idea from Liz Steel). <br /><br />It is indeed two caps - off mini hairsprays. They are joined together with a blob of blutack. Intrigued? They remove the need for a jam jar of water when you are on location. I stick them side by side onto my palette (or the floor, a wall etc): one for clean water, one for dirty. It means you can paint standing up in the street with everything in one hand, or paint indoors with no water to kick over.Lynne the Pencilhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18204943065923019653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4052428857190834923.post-70803007388096864372015-04-01T10:06:26.395+01:002015-04-01T10:06:26.395+01:00Hi Lynne - out of interest, what is the green and ...Hi Lynne - out of interest, what is the green and blue contraption shown in your blog?
