Jack Richeson - Watercolor Cup

Watercolor Cup

Mix precise watercolor washes in this 3-inch cup that won't tip or crack

Shallow depth keeps watercolor pools visible while you work. This three-inch mixing cup sits low enough that you can see color intensity clearly, making it easier to gauge dilution ratios and pigment concentration before brush touches paper. The wide diameter provides ample surface area for loading larger brushes or testing color mixtures directly in the well.

Lightweight plastic construction means you can arrange multiple cups across your workspace without adding significant weight to your table setup. The material resists staining from strong pigments and cleans quickly between color changes. One-inch depth holds enough paint for extended passages while preventing waste from over-mixing large quantities you won't use.

Jack Richeson designed these cups specifically for watercolor's fluid requirements rather than adapting containers meant for other purposes. Keep several on hand for maintaining distinct color families or temperature ranges separate during complex paintings. The simple design stacks efficiently for storage and travels well in field kits without the fragility of ceramic alternatives.
