My new paints, let me show you them.
Aug. 6th, 2009 11:47 pmOkay, I was too impatient to actually DRAW something new, so I just painted over this inked pic.
The results are ... kind of funny, really. The paint still clouded the ink a bit more than I would have liked, but I was amazed at the control I had with the teeny skinny brush the guy at the art store helped me pick out. (ie, he took one look at my basket of goodies, and said, (kindly) "Let me help you find some better stuff." :D )
This pic doesn't have that woobly washed out feeling that I really like from watercolours, but it's also just on sketch paper, and it would just have melted if I'd used too much water.
Also, SUBTLE MUCH? Hee! My kit has 16 colours, I MUST USE THEM ALL! AT FULL VOLUME!( teh pic )
The jury is still out on paint, but I'm sure having fun!
