    I really like the Kuretake paints, and have used them a lot. I used up 2pans, but you can get refills. Some did curl a wee bit but when l sprayed them with water they settled back. I have a 3 layered wooden box of Derwent coloured pencils, it's like a sweetie (candy) box 😅 Love watching you paint Trina, the touch of white did the trick for me, great result.......Alioban ❤

      Good to know! I’m not really worried that they curled. They still work. I have been eyeing that set of Derwent pencils,however, I don’t think I would use all the colors. I might purchase a few more in open stock. Thanks my friend! 😍

    I enjoy your channel and love the Derwent pencils. This landscape is really nice! In general I'm not a huge fan of the Kuratake pigments, which are not the same as watercolors and were designed for a very different art style. They developed from the sumi-e ink and other Asian painting traditions which focus on gesture and pure colors to produce flat, 2-D paintings. Nothing wrong with that, of course; some of the pigments are beautiful and art materials are a matter of personal preference. But they are not designed to be mixed or to produce the same effects as watercolors.

    • @MixedMediaArtByTrina
      @MixedMediaArtByTrina  2 วันที่ผ่านมา

      Thank you. I have read that they shouldn’t be mixed but I did it anyway. Haha! I always try to find ways to make the materials work for me. Always experimenting. 😍

    I really loved watching you create this, as it was so much about exploring the paints, colors, and mark making, keeping it fairly simple, nice to change it up. I think the painting turned out amazing! I love the expressive marks, and the paints, and marking back in with the pallet knife. I also loved adding the white brush strokes in at the end. I have been tempted several times to try Kuretake watercolors, but since I mainly use acrylics, I wonder why I would need the? Although, I guess they would be more matte/chalky than acrylics? What do you think? I also still have my regular water colors for when I want to work with those... Lovely as always! 😍🤩😍

    I have the larger set of the kuretake, they are super expensive in the uk and i picked them up in Tokyo. But even there it was surprisingly hard to find them, and nobody seemed to have the Art Nouveau set. I’m still regretful about that, because although the larger set is nice, there’s almost no crossover in the colours and the Art Nouveau colours are way superior - or to be fair, much more to my taste!

    • @MixedMediaArtByTrina
      @MixedMediaArtByTrina  วันที่ผ่านมา +1

    Received the Art Nouveau set for Christmas…they are definitely not like traditional western watercolors. I don’t like them concentrated. They are nice diluted…but I don’t like the shiny texture of concentrated color. I have to learn how to use them to their advantage.
