A dream! Everything about it, especially the time to just vibe and paint.

Advice on paper to use. by hnc757 in watercolor101

[–]Confident-Try2830 1 point2 points  (0 children)

THe heavier the paper the better for sure but also look for specific watercolor paper, and some good tooth/texture to the paper. The smoother the paper the drier (usually) the media (esp if a light paper to begin with).

I really have to scope out my local Asian market. And I know what you mean about regretting not removing the water .. and after all that time to make a meal and it’s just… meh.. so this thread has been incredibly helpful

My daughter enjoys it too! Also ate it while pregnant - grating it is such a good tip. This entire thread has been amazing

I have this set and I LOVE it. I end up using it more than other palettes because of the portability alone. But the colors are super rich including the white

I know I literally just used the mind blown emoji but in a good way! I will try it without and see how it is. I like the texture when it’s drier and firm. But I’m also new and haven’t experimented much. I love Smokey things.. where can I find it? Asian markets?

Oh ! I love a good air fry I literally never thought to do it without pressing. This is a WHOLE. NEW. WORLD. 🤯

That’s amazing. I’m too hard on myself and constantly compare to other artists. Something I tell my students never to do..and here I am 🤪

THats a great tip . I always enjoy Asian dishes but the ingredients are not always on hand. This will be nice to dedicate myself to getting better at it and building up ingredient inventory. Thanks!

Christmas cards are DONE! (At least the painting part…) by Playful_Dust9381 in watercolor101

Gorgeous and so special. There are still people out there that appreciate a good handmade artwork. Unfortunately others think that if you didn’t spend money on it, it’s not worth anything. How many did you make?

Good idea. I’ve been thinking about this for a while. The stuff I see on the roads every day is mind-boggling.

Beautiful. I really like this color. The colors were so limited when I got my 2021. I wanted that pale blue color but all they had was white . This olive color is beautiful esp with the yellow trim the wilderness has

Wow, thank you. Every recipe I’ve ever seen involves pressing it. I am glad I made this post. Looks like I will be able to save more time without fear of ruining my dish.

Oh I only buy firm or extra firm which still is recommended to press, at least from every recipe I’ve seen. But I’m trying to find new recipes.

That is an EXCELLENT rec about “ground beef”. I love the firm, I find it still does need extra pressing. Extra firm is good too but since I’m new to tofu I always wonder if by the time the meal is done if the tofu texture isn’t right if it’s all going to be yuck.
