Watercolors are definitely only more affordable to me recently...... and it's partially because I've gotten enough paints over the past 9 years, I can just focus on buying the paper... I'm very glad to stick with it, though! My art definitely improved since I found out about Baohong papers, and it's largely because of how much I can do with the medium...
Ink and watercolors are beautiful together! I try to mix them together sometimes, but honestly, my watercolors tend to be a bit too melancholic or soft for them
What I like to do with a brush and a pool of ink is to make big, quick, bold strokes so I can have that scratchy feel... In short, two styles that are opposites LOL
Also, don't Chinese watercolors (with xuan papers I reckon, but I've never done it myself...) have like, really vibrant results?
I remember seeing this Japanese seasonal palette and a lot of colors in it are super bright and things I'd never use, but they're geared towards floral works alongside the other, tamer parts of nature...
LJKERHTKJEHSJRTHJKH AWWWW shh you're adorable, tone it down
I am absolutely illiterate and got scarred by a sudden switch from JP classes to Mandarin in 12th grade, now I'm just skating by with MTL and knowing just the characters' names. I think I left my braincells long ago...
Yeah!
Are you from SEA too?
Actually, now that you mention it, the ones I talk to also tend not to be that much into that specific dynamic...... hmm. Conspiracy...?
