Jo-chin up, elbows up.<p>Tried out Kuretake Watercolors and not so sure I like them. I hoped they’d be more opaque than they are. Not sure if it’s these colors in the set or what. It’s been a while since I used watercolour too. Will have to play some more to see. Still it was so nice to sit outside on a cafe patio to paint.<br><a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/kuretake" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>kuretake</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/watercolor" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>watercolor</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/sketchbook" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>sketchbook</span></a> <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/art" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>art</span></a></p>

TedGMy first try with the Kuretake Gansai Tambi Japanese pan watercolors. They are very reactive to water even once dried on the paper, unlike the watercolors I’m used to!<br> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/watercolor?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#watercolor</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/watercolour?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#watercolour</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/Kuretake?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#Kuretake</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/cardinal?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#cardinal</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/birding?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birding</a> <a href="https://pixelfed.social/discover/tags/birds?src=hash" class="u-url hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#birds</a>
