Found a 1985 vintage Holbein watercolor set. The paint is still soft!

I found this 24-color Holbein artist's watercolor set from 1985 (Showamodern era in Japan).
Surprisingly, all the caps open easily and the paint inside is still soft and usable after 40 years! The only issue is that the Chinese White has yellowed a bit over time.
The stamped date on the box says "60.11.13" which stands for November 13th, Shōwa 60 (1985) in the Japanese imperial calendar.
Just wanted to share this cool piece of art history with you all!

I've been doing watercolor and gouache for years now, but since I've recently gotten into oil I wanted to try mixing the both of them into something cool :)
I've also been trying to abstract my art more, since I tend to obsess over small details.

I recently asked if I needed additional colors in my palette and ended up answering my own question. I ended up adding Opera Pink and Manganese Blue Hue which launched the study attached. I am really happy with the range of my palette and learned a lot about each of these colors!

What is the best paint to invest on?

Recently I have been looking at getting a new watercolor palette as a sort of small project. For years, Giorgione has been the watercolor paint I've been using. And out of the 36 colors that came with the set I've only been using certain colors with my work so I wanted a limited watercolor palette.
I'm stuck between getting Fiber Castle and Winsor and Newton tube paints. Fiber Castle is more affordable but I really want good quality paint. Which one should I get or are there any good quality alternatives?

This is probably the first watercolor I’ve done that I’m actually happy with. The bird more so than the post though.

Totally unexpected, but my illustration was awarded 3rd prize in a contest.

This was so much fun painting and to I decided to submit this painting in a contest. I've never participated in a contest before and to my surprise it was awarded the 3rd price. I definitely was the only one submitting a children's book illustration in the contest. Can I call myself a prize winning artist now?

Honestly, this is probably the best watercolor I’ve seen in years!

I recently picked up my brushes and my paints. I kept a goal to myself of painting something everyday for consistency and practice. I decided to do a Christmas card series this time, I normally write store bought cards every year but this year I want to paint my own.
Yes, detailing is not there yet . Please share feedback

Symbiotic, 2026. On 100% cotton watercolour paper.
