I was gifted the White Nights Botanika watercolor palette. The colors in the set are visually stunning and perform beautifully on paper. But here’s the catch: this palette originates from Russia, and I can’t help but have mixed feelings about it.

Have you ever had mixed feelings about your art supplies? Should I put the palette away for a while or use it so it doesn't go to waste? Please share your thoughts with me in the comments.
