Canson Montval Watercolor paper

I have wanted to try out the Canson papers for watercolours, so I bought this last week=)
I haven't been able to try it yet, but the texture of the paper looks similar to the Daler Rowney watercolor papers (300gsm)...but the Canson paper has a little bit finer grains.


I bought the maxi pack, because it was cheaper than the normal 12 papers packxD

My Art Materials wish list:

I think I'm beginning to getting rid of my creativity block/art block now because I feel I get inspiration all the time and I want to draw/paint/shoot it out! I may get the chance to do it because it's soon easter holiday...ehm..or I currently have it now because we don't have any classes this week^^


As with creativity coming along, there are some art materials which I wish I hadT.T 
Maybe I will take a short art shopping in the holiday.


I want...
- A good quality set of watercolours in halfpans, preferably something like this:


I actually want the Daler Rowney in 20 halfpans, but to my shock their too expensive>.< 

- Watercolour brushes in #9, # 12 or # 13.

- Canson watercolour paper

Shopping watercolour tools

Feel  I have to post this, after not doing it when I should have-.-


I bought some art supplies for watercolour painting four days ago, and I'm going to write some reviews on them later^^ I also bought some brushes in # 0, 1 and 4. They were kinda expensiveT.T And I only have 3 brushes now...Art is an expensive pleasure >.< 


Some pics of what I bought (all images are (c) Wfeng):


A brush you can fill with water to use on watercolour-pencil drawings and paintings


 Watercolour paper, after doing some research online, I went for 300 g papers. Next time, I may try the Canson papers, seeing how many DA's uses it=O


 Watercolours in tubes^^ I wanted to try this out, so went for some cheap but ok quality colours. We'll see what I like after trying it out!

xD It feels good to use money on art


Try something new: Watercolour painting

My interest for watercolour is growing after I cleaned out my art drawers yesterday=P I found my old watercolour cases and it brought back old memories^^

I have always liked watercolours, because of childhood memories...we used it alot in school and I had a couple watercolour pans meself^^ But my fascination for watercolour faded with the years.
Partially because of the technique. It seemed hard to master and it could get messy with all the water and paint. Being a lazy person myself, I would have hated to clean up after finishing painting-.-
So I resorted to safer mediums; colour pencils and softwares.

Here's my favourite paintcase! One of the reasons is because of the case itselfxD
Can't remember how old it is, but I got it when I was in elementary school and it's still not empty0.o

Inside:P My fave is the magenta colour^^ 

The interest grew more when I saw all the beautiful watercolour arts on DeviantArt! Being inspired, I'm going to buy some watercolour supplies first! Hm..maybe I will take an art supplies shopping tomorrow or friday? It has been a long time since the last one-.-,


Although I painted just for fun, on a beginner level. I think deep inside me I always wanted to master it to a certain degree...I don't mean to paint like Michelangelo, but to the level where I feel confident with it, like with colour pencils.
