Sakura Koi Watercolour Pocket Field Sketch Box 30 Assorted Colours, Acrylic, Multicoloured, 5 Piece Set

Product Information

This might look like a very diluted layer of paint, but remember the objective with a glazing technique is to build up transparent layers of color a bit at a time. This helps the viewer distinguish between the top level of fish and the ones that are swimming at a lower level. The Cotmans are great for small plain air, but some colors are very staining and hard to lift or push around. To make them look a bit more three-dimensional, add a curved brush stroke to the underside as if this part of the eye is in shadow. If you took the sponge ring off, you can either put it back on before you replace the fibres or after - just make sure you gently pull and tease it up abit at a time, over the 'teeth' and next to [NOT on] the base the bars of the frame connect to - REMEMBER it sits between the 'teeth' and base it does NOT go half on anything!

The Sakura site contains no info on this, but I’ve read on some blogs that there are lightfastness and/or fugitive pigment issues.

Cass Art, Cass Art London and the Cass Art logo are trade marks and trade names of Art-Line Limited. It does have an odd feature in that the tip screws on in the opposite direction than you would expect: Righty loosey, lefty tighty.

For the purposes of this painting I put together several different photos of koi fish and positioned them to create an interesting composition. The blocks are securely glued down which means if you want to take them out you'll have to prize 'em out and risk wrecking the inlay]. Painting landscapes is simple while on hikes in the country side, while scaling mountain tops, prospecting an ocean panorama or maneuvering urban landscapes. The case is made of good sturdy plastic and so is the mixing tray, it's a pitty the inlay tray is flimsy plastic that can easily tear/bend if your not careful. Once the items have been dispatched through our service provider your item will take 1-2 working days to arrive.And what you'll have is the fibre brush, the black cage supporting it and sponge ring and the black cap with the stalk.

This overflow will also affect any nearby sections of your picture that you've already completed [as it will quickly spill-over the boundary lines], to avoid this either mask-off what's already completed [Masking Film or if you can squeeze it in a gap, a line of Masking Fluid], wipe the brush repeatedly on toilet paper till it's removed the excess water in the bristles or replace the sponge [ doing so will no longer give you more time with your washes].The Winsor and Newton genuine single-pigment colors have some organic granulation going on, but since the Sakura Koi hues are presumably synthetic imitations, they are smooth and more opaque, like inks. If the review for the brand you’re interested in isn’t up yet, just check my blog from time to time because I will be queuing reviews for the above brands in the next few weeks. It’s easy to get carried away and put down too many brush marks which risk hiding the base layers and you’ll wind up with something that looks over-worked. The method when applying a glazing technique is that you paint subsequent layers of color, each time leaving the previous layer to dry.
