I finally got myself some Daniel Smith colours and managed to find some courage to try them. My goodness, does it spread. You can distinctly see the texture of the paper too afterwards. Since I was totally new to these paints I was mostly trying damage control where the colour just went everywhere. It was pretty fun to watch and I could think of nothing else for the hours I was engaged with this painting. Anyway I am happy with my first attempt, especially since the outline was lying around for weeks until I finally picked it up. So hurray!
