Very nice review! I didnt know they’d added a mottler or dagger to the Aqua Elite range–two of my fave brushes in the Neptune set. A lil’ jealous of those travel brushes, gotta be honest 😉. I’ll have to pop those on my wish list.

Thanks, Robert! The black paper helps specialty paints like these pop. Have fun!

Yes! These were a stretch for me, too 😁. I particularly enjoyed mixing a little sparkle into regular colors–like gold into raw sienna to make beach sand.

They are great metallics. I ran a comparison with the Finetec/Coliri and found they performed at the same level. They outperformed box craft store metallics by a mile.

Thanks, Eve! They were fun to play with–looks like black watercolor paper and metallic paints are the summer 2019 trend!

Oh, yes! This was my first time using the smaller palette boxes, and I’m in love. I especially like removing and washing off the mixing wells in the sink

Thanks for dropping by to comment, Shawnee. I’m pretty excited about the upgrade to this line, too 😁

I love Van Gogh paints, too, Walt! The metallics were suprisingly fun on white paper. The interference created the best effects on black paper, but added a shimmer and whisper of color to white subjects on white paper.

Fun tutorial, Sandra! Thanks 😊

Great project! Thanks so much. sA homechooling bird sillouhette project was my first hook into the world of watercolor. Im curious about Moulin du Roy–how would it compare to Arches or Fabriano?

Love your illustrative style and heart for watermedia. Thanks for sharing!

Absolutely love the energy and wonder in this doodle
Looking forward to seeing your process unveiled, too!

Thanks for another thorough review! I especially appreciated knowing about the “bounce” when working on a 2 page spread–I wouldnt have thought about the difference the spine made. Gorgeous art, as always 😁

I’ve followed your work for years, and enjoyed reading your story. I particularly enjoyed all the quotes 🙂. Is a print of the winter meadow available anywhere for purchase?

Yes!!! Thank you for putting this concept into words. Im trying to move from planned layers to pulling hints of edges out of beautiful washes in a more organic way. It. Is. So. Hard. I still have to do at least one ink and wash piece a week to keep myself sane. Thanks for the encouragement.

Great review…love my A6 A&R! My one gripe was the centered pen loop. If you need to hook a slimmer pen using the clip, the pen extends past the edge of the book. I prefer my loops high 😊
