WIP2: [link]

-edit end-

so i'm doing a watercolour painting
ima try to stop myself using pencils at all on this, but it might be necessary for finishing touches and smoothing at the end

this is the first time i've used watercolour paints on a proper portrait with no other mediums, and it's so fun!

this is how i paint generally

before i paint my desk is covered in crap XD so i clear it and put all the painting stuff out

only 4 of my brushes were expensive, they're all thin and for details and they came in a £10 set, daler-rowney

my (main) paint palette was also expensive and came with a nice brush which is off the screen here

then the 5p brush, i got at a car boot sale XD i got 10 for 50p and they're friggin brilliant! as good asthe daler-rowney

the set with the circle around it was 99p at the pound shop
i bought it for the different shapes
the synthetic wide flat ones are perfect for base tones, and there's a natural one with the thinnest tip i own, which is perfect for shiny white bits and eyelashes etc

haha broen ice cube tray for my paints XD it's perfect though!!

tissues are essential for me, for blotting and drying and wiping up smears
and i need papr under my drawing to test things on and get rid of excess colour

this is the only paint set i'm using at the moment, bu8t i have more

i have 2 watercolour sets (in tubes) which were £1 each (i have 2 cos i use them so much and the first set is running out)

i have an acrylics set that i bought the other day for 99p, haven't used it yet

and an oil set which i'm terrified to use1 that was also £1

it's not my fault the pound shop has art supplies!

i mean, they're not the most amazing quality, but they're enough, and i don't need amazing quality cos my art isn't for school or anything

yeah so that's what i'm using while painting this thing that's in front of me right now

i also have 2 computer screens: VERY useful ^_^

my gerard way digital portrait, most recent WIP cos i still haven't finished it XD [link]
