I’ve been testing out this watercolour brand recently from Ukraine, Rosa, which not only are crazy cheap but also have very strong pigmentation. I have three colours, magenta, blue and yellow, and mixing them together is exhilarating :>
Anyway my point still stands. I want to eat my watercolours so bad. They make such yummy colours
I sound as if I was approaching my fifties when I’m not even on my thirties LMAO but I’m glad I’m ending my twenties soon. This last bit of the lived decade has been just wonderful. Definitely more stable and enjoyable :}
Perhaps I’m just too early on in the journey of trying things out where it is not frustrating yet. But sometimes I catch myself wishing I had been this eager to go a bit rogue with art back all those years ago, y’know? Perhaps I would be in a much different place creatively today.
I definitely compared myself to other people to a fault, and just wasn’t confident enough to experiment and test out things without worrying about failing. Which is, like. The whole point of experimenting. Picking up traditional art again, older and I want to think wiser, has been a joy this time.
I have been thinking back a lot to my first year(s) of art school, and how much I struggled with self-worth and generally speaking a profound lack of understanding of art techniques, particularly now that I have been doing a lot of experimenting w colours and traditional art.
God I wanna. I wanna eat my watercolours so bad. They’re so gross looking bc I dip my dirty brush in them all the time bur. they’re so yummy. I gotta eat them
Also good Lord those big paper clips are a godsend….. I really did live almost twenty nine years without them
I am notoriously terrified of colour in general so fooling around like this is very fun ^w^
