In this sketch I am testing out a sample of #Umae watercolours that I was given at the #ArtSihan event on 5 October (from Gift Box). The range of colours in the bottom colour wheeel (for comparison) is the mix I have in my palette at the moment – mostly Holbein Watercolours and Daniel Smith. This sketch is also done on some new paper (#DalerRowney Smooth-Heavyweight 220 g/m2).

What a lovely and insightful post! 🎨✨
Your sketch feels like both an artistic experiment and a joyful exploration — the kind of study that reveals a true artist’s curiosity. It’s wonderful how thoughtfully you’ve compared the #Umae watercolours with your existing Holbein and Daniel Smith palette; that bottom colour wheel alone shows such a keen eye for tonal balance and pigment behavior.
