Old art… not like ‘vintage’, or ‘masters’, but my own, ‘previously done’ art. A nice big page of cheap paper with some kind of black pen, drawn several years ago.
(But actually MY OWN ART, not copying someone else’s art to learn!)

Soooo… I tried the new set of QoR mini watercolor pans again tonight. I did the same exercise, same paints, just used arches cold press watercolor block instead of the cheap paper I was using the other night. (And I made a pattern for the butterfly shape)

What I found was the color shift upon drying was much less noticeable, and the final result was much better. I’m going to try the same thing with daniel smith and schmincke I think.
I really do love the way these QoR paints move.

You can see tonight’s attempt on the better paper yielded much nicer results:
