I’m back to my blog with a bit more technical post about my website’s setup, that will probably interest those of you who have designed and run your personal portfolio websites on Wordpress and you are already fed up with the dysfunctional new default editor. If you belong to this category of people […]

Etchrlab and Stephanie’s Law Mini Porcelain Palette Review

Published on 23/05/201905/01/2022 by Marialena Sarris

As I wrote in my previous blog post I modified my tiny and trusted watercolour box in order to hold 30 colours. The idea of holding 30 colours in tiny wells came to me when I realized that large watercolour palette boxes were neither convenient nor useful for my painting style, that is to paint […]

Tiny 30 Watercolour Palette Box Modification- DIY Watercolor Box

Published on 25/03/201905/01/2022 by Marialena Sarris

I have talked elsewhere about my tiny watercolour box that it is actually a modified old cigarette case. This box turned out to be the most convenient box for outdoor sketching as it is small, compact and super lightweight.

New and Improved Van Gogh Watercolours Review

Published on 06/03/201928/01/2022 by Marialena Sarris

Royal Talens the company that produces Van Gogh watercolours, updated recently this line of watercolours by adding some new colours and improving the consistency of the already existed ones. Van Goghs are the watercolours that I favour, partly because I use them for countless years due to their high quality and affordable price but mostly […]

How to Mix Skin Tones in Watercolour

Hi! I’m back on my blog with some new tutorials and reviews. Here I share with you a rather straight forward tutorial on how to mix skin tones in watercolours. The concept is quite simple. I’ve swatched light medium and dark skin colour mixes, that are useful when you are painting realistic portraits.

How to scan large watercolour paintings and edit them on GIMP – A step by step tutorial

Published on 15/01/201828/01/2022 by Marialena Sarris

Large watercolour paintings can be quite tricky to photograph sometimes. The camera has to be of a very good quality, with very good lens that doesn’t distort the edges of the image, and good sensors that can catch accurately the colours of the painting, mounted on a tripod with a good light installation in order […]

A modified Prang vintage metal box and my new colours

Published on 10/03/201728/01/2022 by Marialena Sarris

Let me present you here how I modified my vintage metal Prang watercolour box. This was a box that was gifted to me among other Prang boxes. The metal box was the most promising one and so I took the decision to change it a bit. This box’s dimensions are 21,5 x 5x 1 cm […]

Prang watercolour sets review and lightfastness test

Published on 30/12/201605/01/2022 by Marialena Sarris

Last September I received as a gift a variety of Prang watercolour sets, sent to me straight from US. Prang watercolour sets are ( as far as I know) very popular school watercolour paints.
