I follow your blog but I have never tried one of your tutorial but yesterday I challenged myself and I painted the koi fishes! Some of the color cubes are very dark, so you might not know what pigment you are picking up until you mix it on the pallete.

The Sakura site contains no info on this, but I’ve read on some blogs that there are lightfastness and/or fugitive pigment issues.Now bare in mind, this is important, do NOT let ANYTHING damage/break/split/bend the sealed end of the fibres! This Studio Set carries the complete assortment of 96 available colours, including 4 metallics, 8 fluorescent and 12 pearlescent shades.

From time to time you can see me blending edges, but mostly I’m painting wet on dry and leaving the sharp edges to my brush strokes.This incredible set of Sakura Koi Watercolours from Royal Talens features 72 vibrant colours in a compact case, ideal for use at home, in the studio or out in the field. Okay, to start off, Koi makes eight different sketchboxes of their watercolors: sizes 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60, and 72. My plan is to alternate between artist grade, and other more affordable paints, and paints people might want to use for sketching or journal keeping. It’s easy to get carried away and put down too many brush marks which risk hiding the base layers and you’ll wind up with something that looks over-worked. Like I said, I’m new to watercolors, so I don’t have much experience in what paint is “good” or not.

Each cake set includes 4 metallics and 8 fluorescents and the 24 color set features an additional 12 pearlescent colors exclusive to the set.Once the items have been dispatched through our service provider your item will take 1-2 working days to arrive. They are waterbased and they blend quite well together and you can easily create a flat wash with no streaking lines.

The sponge is of a decent length, is very easy to clean [run it under a tape or droplets of water, a little bit of soap for the more stubben stains] but it is of the type of material that if you're too rough you can easily tear it in half! Koi watercolour paint blends easily to create an endless range of colours on the foldable mixing plate. The method when applying a glazing technique is that you paint subsequent layers of color, each time leaving the previous layer to dry.There is also the Pocket plus– 24 half pans and the Deluxe with 16 half pans, a Field Box set with 12 half pans and a few other similar types of sets.
