Hello Sonya, thanks for the for the informative video. When I use Qor the colors, they are so much brighter than what I saw on my screen in this video. Did you use natural/brownish paper maybe or is it my screen? Also the PG 50 is Cobalt Teal, I believe. The cobalt turquoise is darker and PB 36. 😊😊

Nice video. I am currently working with Rosa range and Khadi paper. I noticed in your links you are using a Khadi stitched pad, but I can't see how many pages it has? I use the Khadi Fat Book, it has a blue paper cover, 21cm square with 48 pages - it is only 100gsm but holds up really well. More expensive but probably the best value considering how much paper you get. And the cheapest place I can find the full Rosa range in tubes and pans is Ken Bromley in the UK - £2.41 for pan, £3.40 for tubes. I'll give you a sub for your lovely swatching.
@sonyaoart Ай бұрын
Thanks for watching and the sub! The Ken Bromley prices are better than Jackson's, I didn't know they carried Rosa. Good to know. The Khadi sketchbook I'm using for my swatches has 30 pages I think and it's 150gsm. The pages are a bit smaller than the fat book, 15cm square and I find it's the ideal size for swatching. I've yet to try the fat book, I must be the last person to not have one.
