Love the art and I’m so excited you get to be a brand ambassador! Congrats! I’ve got some Holbein gouache and I like it better than watercolor. It’s a lot of fun to play with!

[@CautionArtistatPlay]

Thank you, Bel! It is a ton of fun to play with!!

I just recently got some black paper, but haven't used it yet. I do like the results you got on it though. The gouache and pastel pencils definitely popped against that dark background. I've been looking into this brand of pastels and couldn't find any light-fast info on them. Do you know if/where Generals has that posted. Thanks for sharing!

[@CautionArtistatPlay]

Thank you for watching! Unfortunately, it doesn't appear that they have posted any lightfast ratings on them. I couldn't find any lightfast ratings for them online, and the pencils are not marked either. If I find out any more information, I will let you know!

@@CautionArtistatPlay I was afraid that would be the case. It's a shame because I do like their products. Thanks for taking time to check for me.

Congrats on being a Brand Ambassador! Don’t suppose you have a discount for those of us who want to buy these supplies? I’m sure it’s wishful thinking, but thought I would ask.

[@CautionArtistatPlay]

Thank you! I don't have a discount code, I'm sorry. That's a good thought, though! If that ever becomes a thing that they decide to do, I will certainly let everyone know!

Nice art, especially when you paint lemon yellow on black , instead of layer on layer , why cant we paint white first and once it dries , we paint lemon yellow on white. that can stand out more nicely comapred to directly painting lemon yellow on black paper because it can look less opaque. the lemon yellow pigment doesnt have that much strength on black

[@CautionArtistatPlay]

You absolutely can do that. I didn't do that because I wanted to make the black background do some of the work for me. Especially in the shadow areas on the on the flower. But yes, doing an under-painting of white will make your colors pop more. Thanks for watching!
