Peerless Watercolor First Impressions

I’ve been super obsessed with watercolor lately and I’ve been thinking about art materials nearly every waking moment when I’m not at work. Going through videos on YouTube, I stumbled upon this interesting thing called the Nicholson’s Peerless Transparent Watercolor. 

It’s basically a set of coated cardstock-like paper originally used to color-grade films. Apparently it is long-lasting and extremely pigmented. I bought a pack of 40 colors from Artwhale.ph called the “Bonus Pak”.  

Due to their popularity as a watercolor medium nowadays, people have been making their own palettes using cut-up portions of these Peerless papers. They cut them into 1-inch squares and stick them on watercolor paper folded to look like a little booklet.

I drew these food categories to use as headers for my food blog’s recipe index. To be honest, I drew these at the beginning of the year but I’ve only now managed to make use of them. My favourite’s the drawing of the doughnuts and churros. :g

Paying homage to one of my favorite paintings. I did change up her face a little bit. I don’t know why I like this painting so much, but I certainly like it significantly more than the Mona Lisa. 🙂
