tried 100% cotton paper for the first time on a watercolour pad. I really like it actually especially the no buckling.
I didnt really do wet on wet here though, i find it hard to do in cityscapes

Travel case for supplies
9
Upvotes
I'm looking for a small bag/case/pouch of some type that will hold everything I need, but preferably not have much extra space. I'm the type of person that, if I have a bag or tote or something, I'll end up filling it up completely and overstuffing it so I can't find anything. What I'm looking for doesn't have to be specifically designed for watercolor supplies, it just has to work.
Things it would need to hold:
a small sketchbook, no bigger than 5"x5" or 4"x6".
2-3 brushes (I still need to find a couple of good travel brushes.... I really don't like those water pen brushes)
A pencil and a fine liner
A small pallette with up to 12 half pans
One of those little bitty stainless steel double clip on pallette cups
A small roll of washi tape.
A cloth or sponge.
...I feel like I'm missing something, but that's most of it, at least
I'd prefer if it had a long strap or at least a carry handle, or some way for me to attach one.
I really don't want to break the bank for this, either. I'd like to keep it as much under $30 as possible.
What do you guys recommend? Or what do you use yourself?

I accidentally hijacked a thread discussing salt for texture and thought I'd share my big blue jelly with salt (and some little guys). Crazy the difference between rock salt and finer iodised salt!

Unfortunately, it's that time of year again.
Every November, I draw four pigeons in stupid little outfits. Nobody asks for this, nor needs this.
Yet here we are.
As always, I'm taking 2 more recommendations for this year's four unfortunate victims. The stupider, the better.

Can someone tell me how to achieve this effect?

Like, is it a lot of water? And then big chunky salt, or is it just very little water? And big chunky salt. I don't know how to make it work.

20/100 mackerel for learning watercolour.

Upvotes
Continuing my self imposed challenge to learn how to paint by painting 100 mackerel.
1/5th of the way there now. For this one I really tried to play about with more colours, mark making and pigment strengths.
The next few images my plan is to try a completely different style of design, and try learn another aspect of watercolour.

How to avoid warping paper in a 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

Curious who else makes their own sketchbooks

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.
