Hi Letty! Instead there is some required reading you should do about racism, colonialism and the violence of empire. If you don’t get this book it’s because you are engaging in bad faith or uneducated. I choose to believe uneducated ☺️

For most people these would not be a beginner watercolor. When I first started I used all kinds of cheap watercolors before I ever had the Winsor and Newton Cotman Watercolors. I love them but I have them in pans. I bought the 24 set of half pans and I bought 9 other colors separately and now I have all the colors that I want. I'm glad that you like them so much and gave them a great review.

How strange. I completely fail to relate to this perspective on pacing. I felt the time jumps were not only appropriate, but viscerally satisfying. The general pacing was one of the best things for me during my reading experience. And immersion was no problem at all , I even daydream about being Robin’s friend or a Babel student sometimes myself. To be fair, I do purposely lean towards literature with a more “academic” or “textbook” feel. New age fantasy literature with that aesthetic is hard to come by. Babel is the adult version of what Harry Potter used to be for me when I was 12. I will think and ruminated about it forever. I’ve already quoted it in discussion. And used it as a lesson in my own convictions. I’m sorry you did not get what you wanted from it. Just not the right type of book for everyone.

Agree with your comment....although I am only 80 pages in, I'm loving it. Only watched bits of this video to avoid potential spoilers, but I certainly think it is an engaging read so far (I stop reading books very quickly if they re not!) and I have no idea what is going to happen thus far...

You drew rocky like a robot, but he really wasn't a robot. He was named "Rocky" because he looked and felt much like a rock-like creature.

Try them on black paper. The black paper is the shadow. Build up opacity for highlighting

Try heating the paper from underneath and see if it puffs differently. That is an old school embossing trick to not blow around powder and to help avoid scorching the paper on top.

This came out lovely! Would you recommend the book year later? I'm a newbie so have no issues with trying to copy out of a how to book, since that is why it exists. I do also try to paint from live examples and my own photo references, but when I'm following a tutorial, I try to make it exactly like the tutorial, lol.

You’re not really supposed to use them with that much water, that’s why your swatches look “odd” and sheer. To get less water on the brush, just blend the water a little on the top of the paint pan, or simply wait for the water to sink into the pan just a bit, and you’ll get the most stunning paint you’ve ever seen! 🙂 Ps: if you’re looking for things to paint with them, I suggest trying to add finetec paints as an overlay to paintings of metallic/iridescent-looking insects like scarabs and dragonflies. Finetec is perfect for those subjects! 😊

In my experience, the acrylic gouache is really just a matte acrylic paint, it can be watered down like regular gouache but it's not meant to be re-wet at all and it drys really fast so you have to paint with it like it's an acrylic paint.
