Testing lilya's watercolor kit (thank you!) and some hot press paper I recently got. :-/... My disappointment is mainly with the paper. I just don't like how quickly the paint dries. It was like painting with markers. So I think I'll have to give it another go with cold press. Might end up using this as a postcard.
While painting this I also realized how 1) Without pre-planning I'm just terrible at subject matter and 2) This paint is reluctant to bind together after mixing. It's kind of strange but at the same time it's nice because it gives the color more dimension.
p.s. The scanner seems to have selectively chosen the yellow over the warm red hue in the background. In actuality, the background has a warmer red glow.
