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

Product Information

They mention that it's great for travelling, the water brush is good quality and that it can be attached to the side of the palettes. You can download a sketch template for this painting below if you want to try this watercolor project for yourself.

Okay, to start off, Koi makes eight different sketchboxes of their watercolors: sizes 12, 18, 24, 30, 36, 48, 60, and 72.Painting landscapes is simple while on hikes in the country side, while scaling mountain tops, prospecting an ocean panorama or maneuvering urban landscapes. Each cake set includes 4 metallics and 8 fluorescents and the 24 color set features an additional 12 pearlescent colors exclusive to the set. 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]. Unfortunatly because of this compact space there really isn't any room for when you wipe your brush over one colour you have to stop halfway otherwise you'll go straight onto the next [this isn't a problem if you want two tone and the blocks are easy to clean. In this tutorial I’m going to show you how to paint koi fish in watercolor by building up transparent layers of paint using a glazing technique.

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]. When I first started painting it took me a while to figure out which colors to use and how to organize them. 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. You can see in the reference photo this is another typical characteristic of the markings found on koi fish. It can still look good when blending, though, you just need to work a little bit harder and be more deliberate than with an artist grade set.

Being of a small size means that doing any work larger then A5 will give you a headache unless you take the blocks out or continuously deposit drops of paint into a larger contain - this will quickly wear down the blocks! It does have an odd feature in that the tip screws on in the opposite direction than you would expect: Righty loosey, lefty tighty. The Sakura site contains no info on this, but I’ve read on some blogs that there are lightfastness and/or fugitive pigment issues.

I know some people use a roll of toilet paper as a blotter, but I don’t have room for that on my desk. I shared with you guys my first few watercolor paintings in my January Watercolor Doodles post and since then I’ve been trying to use my watercolors every day. I personally don’t have a use for the ring because I always paint just at my desk, but I’ve tried out just holding it and it works very well.
