Got my first set of water colours
(lemmy.world)
I want to give a card to one of my teachers and wanted to decorate it personally, I have never been into painting, but I don’t want to get anyone else to paint for me. Wish me Luck
Awesome, I've never seen watercolors in a tube either.
But those are watercolors in a tube.

Have fun!
One thing was how fricking cheap they are, idk anything about quality, will have to see when I try but still, also there were others like this but half the price
Nice. That's a good score.
I don't know anything about watercolors quality either, but you should post again later and let us know how it went
Tbh, if anything is gonna fail, it’s my painting lol, but there are always colour pencils which are never gonna fail, but I really wanted to try something else
I think I am just gonna draw some gradients and stuff instead of something complicated
Cool. I always liked colored pencils, but I can never get them to do what I wanted.
Not that I practiced enough in the first place of course.
I tend toward simple lines and drawing comics more, I love black and white ink line drawings
I also feel like they might not be great if you wanna make something more than simple drawings/colorings
Colored pencils?
Yeah, I don't think I ever got passed crude brontosauruses and t-Rexes with those.
But boy, was there an excess of dinosaur coloring going on, haha.
Oh and one detailed gryphon in 9th grade.
Actually, I remember that this one gryphon turned out so well that I stopped used coloring pencils afterwards haha.
Like I thought to myself " All right, I've reached the peak of my craft. Time to move on."
How are there stored usually? I've seen plenty of watercolors tubes my whole life. It is no surprise to me.
Dried reservoirs of paint in a pallette you mix a little water into are the only kind I've seen up till now.
Something like this:
I've known both but the dried version cannot easily be turned into paste but the paste in tube can be diluted further down to get this watery color.
I've never seen or heard of the tubes before, I assume because I don't regularly paint.
Are they recently popular or did you use them as a kid?
I used them as kids. Especially in art classes but for home painting, giving a kid the dried ones is more common. I assume it is because it is easier to store and to wash ~~if~~ when the kid put paint everywhere.
