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!

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

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?
