@Eel Is this your set?
https://www.derwentart.com/en-gb/p/2305865/professional-produ...

I would like to know please

This is from the site of this set above:
"Features
A gouache style pigmented paint within a palette formulation, in soft and playful pastel shades
Layer up in thick opaque layers allowing the colour to dry as a bright, matte finish."

If that's the case then it is really with gouache pigment inside and that is why you can paint freely on layers

@Zuljaras I'm amazed that you keep painting traditionally, I wouldn't sacrifice the comfort of digital painting for anything.

@ComfyAko actually I am just starting. Digital is indeed very comfortable and you can change anything anytime. But painting traditionally has that calming factor and also intricacies of its own.

The best part is that one does not go in the way of the other

@Eel Did it come with a gel pen or that brush pen? Because the brush pen is supposed to be filled with water and when you squeeze it, it will wet the paints in the pans.

To be honest that hybrid between watercolor and gouache sounds really cool! I am definitely interested!

PS: Damn ... I want to hoard it now

@Zuljaras both, it was a scrawlrbox kit. It came with the full derwent set, a pad of water color paper, and the pen

… and a fizzy candy.

When I ordered it a few months ago, it was on discount, so I got it all for about 13 dollars.

@Zuljaras yeah now they only have as part of a water color bundle set for $40, so I lucked out!

These boxes come from europe so it takes a long time… But it was worth the wait.

@Zuljaras mostly just to try out the scrawlrbox boxes, they had a buy three pay one special.

The entire order plus shipping was about the same price as buying a single unit of that same watercolor set in Amazon Mexico.

@Zuljaras yeah, that is a great approach! You can always try both. For me, digital is very calming, so I think you just need to try and see what works best for you.

I'm not that good at it but I'm having a good time and that's all that matters

Wow. In pennsylvania, we can smell the fire from the Nova Scotia forest fires. And the sky is ultra hazy (can't see blue sky, or make out clouds, it's just hazy white) and the sun has a sunset-orangey cast to it even when it's at it's highest point of the day. This exceeds or matches the worst of the visible smoke pollution from western US fires of the previous year. I've never skipped exercising outside because of pollution before.

@WoomyNNYes It's been cloudy here for a few days now. Hopefully it won't get any worse.

@Eel That makes sense. For me it is very expensive to order things from the USA (and UK after Brexit) Only the shipping of a small thing is about 40$ without VAT. The VAT is another 20% of the whole price (order price + shipping) ... it is insane!

@ComfyAko Yes! As you said that is the only thing that matters in art, to have a great time and enjoy the process!

Yeah, the Canadian wildfires this year are brutal. It’s not just Nova Scotia either unfortunately, the likes of Quebec, Saskatchewan and Alberta are having a pretty bad wildfire problem. And the July heat coming up definitely won’t help with that…

@TheBigBlue I live in Nova Scotia (to put it simply, and to not dox myself) and I really hope where I live doesn't get them.

That July heat is gonna burn... No pun intended.

@Eel You're welcome. Ah gotcha, I've taken a painting class where I would do oil painting. I'd use paints and walnut oil to make paintings. But it was a bit too messy for my liking, lol. Drawing can be a little bit messy too, I'd erase pencil smudges on my drawings to clean them up a bit. I've had pencil smudges on the side of my hand while I drew, as well.

@WoomyNNYes It's gotten pretty bad here, as well. That smoke smell outside is just awful. You're gonna want to skip exercising outside because of that, yeah... do stay safe! Same goes to @Owl1 and everyone else who's affected by this.

@JONOFTHEJONS
I’ll keep my eye on it. I saw something about how the next Lego game may be revealed so that will be interesting.

@Owl1 @WoomyNNYes
Hopefully things don’t get worse, stay safe guys.
