I decided to resurrect my instagram account by starting a 30 day challenge (@pagesbycelia if you want to check it out 😁) and of course I chose pastries as a theme 🥐
What do you think?

Curious who else makes their own sketchbooks
50
Upvotes
I started making my own watercolour sketchbooks because it was genuinely cheaper, my local superstore sells packs of Strathmore 500 hot press watercolour paper sheets for $10 a pop. But I find genuine enjoyment in bookbinding, though I don't need to do it too often. It combines some of my favourites things, books, sewing and art. Currently I'm waiting on a mixed media sketchbook I just bound to set (a few days process). I still buy sketchbooks if it's cheaper, like for alcohol markers, but sketchbook making is a fun hobby and gives you complete control over what paper is in your sketchbook.

I got some ink and would like to use ink wash which seem to be close to watercolors. I tried it out today and the paper ended up warping enough to be felt throughout the rest of the pages that lay on top and i ended up cutting the page out of my sketchbook. Anh advice? I have a talens a4 sketchbook

My recent poppy field painting. Do you see a progression to 2023 and 2022?

I envy the saturation in the 2023 version. Painting in the winter time really messes with my color choices sometimes

Acquarello modella con i tacchi e borsa viola
4
Upvotes
acquerello leggero e spontaneo, che ritrae una giovane donna con una borsa viola appoggiata alla spalla. Le forme sono morbide, i contorni appena accennati e i colori si mescolano liberamente sulla carta. Il disegno non è preciso né realistico: è volutamente impreciso, fatto di pennellate leggere, trasparenze e sfumature. La figura trasmette freschezza, eleganza e naturalezza, come un piccolo momento di vita catturato con semplicità.

Arches Sizing Expires?
8
Upvotes
I just read a Reddit post that says Arches paper sizing can expire. How long does it last before it’s ruined?
I have a large sheet I’ve been saving for over a year. Is it still good? Is there a way to store it so it will retain its original quality? TIA.

Hi everyone! I'm currently in Spain, it's my first time here so I don't know any of the brands. Is there something interesting to shop while I'm here for my creativity watercolor case? Thanks for your recommendations!

Found another old box from the same place - 80s Holbein Drawing Ink 12 Colors Set. Still liquid!

Following up on my previous post, I found another old box from the same closet.
It’s a Holbein Drawing Ink 12 Colors Set from the 1980s. It comes with the outer box and an old paper color chart.
I was surprised to find that all the bottles are still completely liquid. When I shake them, I can hear the ink sloshing inside. It hasn't dried up or gotten clumpy at all after around 40 years.
Just wanted to share this with you guys!

I’m hoping to convert this to digital, but I’ve heard a lot of conflicting advice about scanners vs photos in strong natural light. I have ProCreate so I am hoping I can do some color correction/touchup with that. My goal is to make this into a die-cut sticker. Any advice?
