Looks great to me! I was about to buy a Holbein acrylic gouache but chickened out mostly because it was a small set of vibrant, primary colours. I like them a little earthy, but I am too clueless to mix them. So maybe I'll order something online.

Thanks! This one is traditional gouache (although I have way too many of the acrylic gouache as well lol). Although I think you’ll end up mixing the colors anyway… you could check out the holbein irodori gouache sets? They are special color sets and less intense than the default sets.

Also, I usually like hot press paper for ink and watercolour, so cold press is also scary😅.
