ended up splurging on good watercolors when i went out of town and like whyyyyy did i do that lol this is still just as impossible as it was with the cheap supplies
#I RLY DONT GET IT....it turns out hot press paper just does not make it look like anything at all but cold press is#too textured to get lines on#i see videos where ppl use a rly good amt of water (obvs) to the point where it sits on the page until it dries but both papers i have#(baohong and arches) either suck it all up immediately OR immediately buckle and warp as if i was painting on printer paper jesus christ#dont even get me started on um blending colors on paper bc that just does not happen#igts so crazy. + if i finally do get the paint onto the page after fighting then it doesn't even look like watercolor 😭#i want it to look like watercolor thats why i got them....#talkys#anyway i was abt to justify it with ''oh well if i didnt buy them i would have continued thinking about them forever so#that must mean something'' untrue 🫶 i got more lino supplies like a year ago and never used them.#i got gouache a few months ago and have not touched it.#although thats because I lack a creative nature bc i do like gouache...i jst dk what to make. in any medium
