There is something special about the texture that comes to life in watercolor paintings. I love how the paint saturates the paper grains in one place, then by lifting the paint off a bit gives you a delicate gradient effect. This set of fingerless mitts and matching scarf celebrate the various textures you find in watercolor paintings when allowing the paints to pool in some places and be lifted in others.
