    Well that’s how you do it, check out stuff and find what you like.

    Started out roughly the same like 2-3 years ago :-)

    I also like to have the possibility to have “popping” colors and I found Pebeo water colors “encre aquarelle” (literally watercolor ink), you’d just need the 3 base ones (cyan, magenta, yellow) to make any colour except grey, so a grey is good too :-)

    And they sure pop!

    So what’s the white :-) ?

      That’s very interesting, just 3 colors and make any color from those. I’ll check them out, thanks. The white is from the same box. It actually ended up pretty transparent, which is why I couldn’t even show much foam. The opaque white parts you see are just the paper where there are no colors lol.

        Hah yeah water color paper “eats up” the white color, I’m looking into more heavy color (IDK, different guaches maybe) to make better white.

        I love mixing colors, and if you don’t try for brown, (or a dirty look/feel) you just use two of them, so it’s quite easy too!

        Add water to make it lighter, let dry and paint on top (dry on dry) to make darker.
