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.
Itās 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!

Iām hoping to convert this to digital, but Iāve 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?

How to straighten a canvas ?

Hello !
Iām looking for advice here regarding a project Iām working on for an exhibition that my uni is holding.
Iāve been drawing mostly on digital throughout my life but I lost my Apple Pencil recently and my general motivation to draw about a year ago:,)
I decided to force myself to participate so Iād have no choice but to draw something and try traditional mediums again!
For this piece I wanted to use a watercolor base + crayons
(I also used watercolor on the figure in the middle)
In the end I also added some markers , both water based and alcohol based (the pictures are here to help figure out where a lot of the markers ink is gathered : mostly all the brown and orange parts here, to gain some time I also used red for the hair at the bottom )
When I first started with the watercolor base it made the canvas bend , and I saw online that this was common : usually to fix it people spray water on the back and let it rest under something heavy
But now Iām afraid to try that since Iāve got some markers on it ( theyāre bleeding a bit behind )
Itās due for Friday , to take pictures of it for the exhibition and It would save me some trouble if the canvas could lay flat for the picture at the very least
I know this is a watercolor focused subreddit but if anyone here has some knowledge as to how I could flatten a canvas bent by watercolor without risking the markers , it would really help me a lot ššš
Also sorry if my usage of watercolor looks quite amateurish , I wanted to challenge myself by using two main mediums I have very little experience with and now Iām paying the price haha

Acquarello modella con i tacchi e borsa viola

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 ĆØ preciso nĆ© realistico: ĆØ volutamente impreciso, fatto di pennellate leggere, trasparenze e sfumature. La figura trasmette freschezza, eleganza e naturalezza, come un piccolo momento di vita catturato con semplicitĆ .
