I reckon that painting with watercolor is much more convenient than using acrylic. I can grab the paint box and a brush, start painting in a second and never dirt my hands. Also, watercolor needs less deck space or palette space. My coffee tree is bearing now. One hundred whole beans are expected.
I went to a bookstore and took an acrylic painting instruction book home. I’ve found less interest in acrylic, which is dry drastically fast. Instead, I’ve devoted myself to watercolor for the last few months. But I prefer to use acrylics up.I’ll follow the book to achieve 50 paints in a month.

I posted both. Wasn’t… Read More »Acrylic vs. Oil, Aaron vs. Emily

I didn’t expect the pigment to dry that fast, but I soon got used to it. Let me Introduce my pet rat Snowy. She’s over two years old and is the eldest and cutest rat among the four. Keep practicing. Draw on an 8′ x 10′ sketch paper. It is my first all-made-by-color-pencil drawing ever.
