Bought some smooth 'hot pressed' water colour paper despite knowing how annoying it is. Most of the time the water really just sits on top of the paper. However, there is a genuine methodology that can be learned and it generally can result a more controlled organic quality to the art.
Mostly watched this video to help get started.
Two extra art materials I've picked up: - Water soluble wax pastels. - Liquid masking fluid. Plush creature on the right is a male orchid bee. Built like an alien. His name is Frizbee.
