Cheap vs High End Watercolour Supplies: Part 2

Hi all!

Here is part 2 of my 4 part series on cheap vs high end watercolour supplies.

I decided to do a series comparing low quality, mid range quality and high quality watercolour supplies.

This video isn't the most scientific or objective approach, but it does draw from practical experience, and I encourage anyone looking at getting into watercolour, to consider giving the super cheap stuff a skip. It's just not going to give you an accurate feel for how the medium handles.

There are really nice supplies you can get by spending only a nominal amount more, so I'd say go for those rather than grocery store brand anything.

As always if anyone has any questions, please ask away! I'm happy to help where I can. :)

🤣 The 'Wookie in heat' description of the fridge was perfect - our old one did the same. Or sometime sounded like there was a cow trapped in there. 🐮
