Sakura Koi Watercolour Pocket Field Sketch Box 30 Assorted Colours, Acrylic, Multicoloured, 5 Piece Set

Product Information

A tiny bit of rubber cement could be used to secure the plastic pans down in the palette, and this way they remain removable. Setting up a watercolor palette can be a bit of a brain-teaser, especially when you begin learning watercolors. They are waterbased and they blend quite well together and you can easily create a flat wash with no streaking lines. I keep the Cotman set at work in case I need to bust out a small lunchtime painting of Kauai in my planner.

This 48 color Koi Watercolor Field Sketch Kit from Sakura features a beautiful assortment of half pan watercolors.Paint the whole of the koi fish in blue, but leave the upper sides slightly lighter toned where they’re turned towards the light.

My first set was a 12-color Cotman travel pallette, and over time I refilled the pans with better paints.Also if you come across a hair that has been bent [either by you or from manufacturing] just snip it off abit above from where it bends - this is because of the material, once bent out of shape you can't really smooth it back into the rest and DO NOT cut the hair close to the sealed end your holding as if this gets caught it could damage the end, so atleast cut it half a centimetre away from the base.

Sakura Koi will always have a place in my art supplies shelf because it is the very first watercolor set I ever used. The water brush must be dissembled to fit back into place but it has a small stopper so you can leave it loaded with water for travel. For the purposes of this painting I put together several different photos of koi fish and positioned them to create an interesting composition. It’s not just paint, if you’re looking for a reliable easel, canvas, medium, primer or brush – you’ll find it here too.

I know some people use a roll of toilet paper as a blotter, but I don’t have room for that on my desk.

I want to replace it, but my other brush pens are filled with ink, and it isn't so bad that replacing it has taken priority, so it stays. This method is good for A5 and A5+ large areas but the colour will quickly leave the brush fibres and the water in the handle will deplete more rapidly. Each fully contained kit features a water brush, sponge, a removable palette and twenty-four mini watercolor cakes in a sturdy plastic case. Compact pocket-sized box with watercolour paints with integrated support for both right- and left-handed use.The rich color assortment offers the choice to create bold hues or soft and subtle shades with metallic and fluorescent watercolors included in the 72-color set that provide shimmering and dazzling effects to your project. So far, the paints have held up and don’t fall out of the pans they’re in (something I’ve found to be somewhat of a problem in Crayola watercolors. The paper should be quite durable too because the marker is water-based and if you have too many wet layers, the paper fiber will start to come off. Colours include Fluorescent Yellow, Fluorescent Orange, Fluorescent Red, Fluorescent Rose, Fluorescent Magenta, Fluorescent Violet, Fluorescent Blue, Fluorescent Green, Silver, Light Gold, Deep Gold, Copper.
