Watercolour ART HAUL ✨️ - Watercolour 💕

[@noorallawati5390]

mid way: u need to press the metal thingies first, then insert the pans so u hear a click. it doesnt move =) I ordered Schminke & Daniel Smith dot cards. My head was spinning from the beautiful options x'D I don't know which i prefer yet in general so trying to get familiar with what i like n my style! Love what you selected ^^

[@CHARUL814]

I do like Schmincke but find them too expensive. Baohong is beautiful to work with

[@hessabinhuwaidn7525]

Lovely colors ! Just to clarify, the Arches paper work best when they are stretched. You can wait till it’s completely dry or blot it with a paper towel and paint over it for the pores to open and absorb the paint.

Quick question… how do you stretch it when it’s a block 😅? I’ve stretched single sheets for charcoal drawing

[@IMNENIGMA1]

That helps cuz I wasn't seeing what all the rave about it was. I'll have to try this and see how I like it.

The Arches sizing expires because they use animal sizing. The Fabriano paper has vegetable sizing and it lasts longer.

That's a really nice custom palette. Mine is the exact opposite, very muted and nothing vibrant to find 😅

Nice haul!

I recognise that accent. Where r u from? Because I’m sure u aren’t from far from me.

Jackson’s also sell Baohong

That seems strange that Arches would expire because it is archival and should last 100 plus years

[@shadowguard3578]

The sizing expires. I’m assuming the archival properties you mention are a different issue.
