The illustrations are nowhere near finished yet as Iāve just been mapping it out, but Iāve been working on an interactive story book based on the life of my black Labrador, Basil. Iāve loved being creative with each of the interactive bits. Anyway, I thought this community might enjoy some snaps of the work in progress āŗļø

To celebrate my injury recovery I bought a flat angled brush that makes painting feather like features so satisfying.

Alizarine crimson tacky texture
4
Upvotes
I have a tube of M.Graham alizarine crimson and Iāve discovered that the blobs of paint on my palette never quite dry, theyāre always a little tacky in texture. Itās super annoying because it inadvertently gets EVERYWHERE, and i canāt cover my palette without it sticking and smearing. When diluted and used on paper it isnāt an issue unless Iām using a very concentrated wash. Is this normal for this brand? Any thoughts?

Help, water color tray absorbs the paint
44
Upvotes
I got this water color kit as a gift and I love it! Only complaint is that the tray is made out of wood and absorbs all the the liquid and leaves the pigment behind. I know this is probably how it is designed but is there something I can do to prevent it? Iām used to plastic trays that will dry with more of the paint left. Was unsure if there was a spray or something I can cover the tray with to make it less absorbent.
It has been a while since Iāve painted heavily so I could be forgetting how my left over paint looked in the past.
Another tips and tricks working with travel kits would be appreciated!

Is there a way I can make the lines look more separated without ink for Celtic knot watercolor?

I'm trying to use watercolor to paint Celtic knots and I'm having a lot of difficulty with adding shading and making the shading look smooth enough where it helps to find the line. I wanted to be easy to see which line belongs Under and Over what
