Organized my watercolor palette. Very fun!

I got very little sleep and now my neck is super stiff. Because cartoons were true about what its like getting older. My plans were for today to try and do some yard work because my poor dog keeps stepping on those gnarly stickers outside. Natures doom legos.

A few weeks ago, @giotto_spain kindly offered some art supplies to try out. To make this test, I used @industriamaimeri professional-grade watercolors, Saunders Waterford @st_cuthberts_mill cold pressed paper, a set of @princetonbrush brushes, and graphite pencils from @lyra_feelcreative for the little sketch. I have already used Saunders Waterford paper and I really liked it, but I hadn't tried the rest of the materials. I'm really happy with them and I'll be posting a extense review on my next to Youtube Vlog, stay tuned! Thank you again for sending these supplies, @giotto_spain ! Hace unas semanas, @giotto_spain me ofreció amablemente algunos materiales de arte para probar. Para hacer esta prueba usé @industriamaimeri acuarelas de calidad profesional, Saunders Waterford @st_cuthberts_mill papel prensado en frío, un juego de Pinceles @princetonbrush y lápices de grafito de @lyra_feelcreative para hacer el pequeño boceto. Ya había usado el papel Saunders Waterford y me gustó mucho, pero no había probado el resto de materiales. Estoy muy contenta con ellos y publicaré una reseña más extensa en mi próximo Vlog de Youtube, estad atentos! Gracias de nuevo por enviar estos materiales, @giotto_spain ! . . . . . . . . #artsupplies #artmaterials #watercolor #watercolorpainting #watercolorsupplies #watercolorpaper #acuarela #acuarelas #graphite #graphitedrawing #graphitesketch #graphitepencils #watercolorbrush #watercolorbrushes #watercolorpaints #watercolortubes #pigment #materialesartisticos #papel #lapicesgrafito #arttest #pinceles #aquarelleart #aquarelle #aquarell #aquarela #artofinstagram #artdaily #artistlife #colores https://www.instagram.com/p/CdGDjD0IV3d/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Swatching my early Christmas gift to myself 😁 I felt that it was time to move on from my pandemic Himi gouache set to Holbein Artists' Gouache. I got a 12 color set, but also picked up a handful of tubes from their Irodori line. They are all highly pigmented and extremely opaque, so my heart is happy. I am looking forward to playing more with these yummy colors! Oh, I got my supplies from @artwhale.ph 🥰 It would be a dangerous thing to do, but I want to plan a trip to their store soon. 😅 #journalofalockdown #journaling #visualjournal #gouache #swatchingpaint #holbeingouache #artwhaleph #paintingformymentalhealth #artmaterials #artjournaling https://www.instagram.com/p/Ck7FefcP0uMKhGNdmnrAK_-z76LkDt2TYn3ZAQ0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Now that I've learned and focused more on every swatch and every color combination that I have (note: every mixing chart is composed of different brand of watercolor), it is easier for me to determine which color combination should I make to get my desired shade.

@staedtlerph has been in the industry for a very long time, in fact my technical pens & mechanical pencils during college were Staedlers. All along I have associated the brand with pens but I'm surprised that they carry some paints now! . They sent me these products for me to try. They have watercolor pencils, watercolor paints & acrylic paints. These are under their Design Journey line. . I did some swatches of the colors that they have per set so you may swipe thru my posts. You will see that the colors are fine. Some colors are week but some colors are strong in terms of pigmentation. I had fun trying them 🥰 . I like that the watercolor pencils can really be diluted with water, some brands they don't so it's kinda hard to make it work for me but not this one. The watercolors are good, I would consider this as a studio line like maybe in between student & artist grade same goes with their acrylics. The finish of their acrylic is glossy so if you want matte you just add a matte medium. . Overall these are a good starter for your design & art journey 🥰 • • • • • #arthaul #art #productreview #watercolorpaints #watercolorpencils #aceylics #staedler #artmaterials #calligrafikas #dreweuropeo https://www.instagram.com/p/CNCyzgGjO72/?igshid=smneu3zvxlv
