A relaxing painting process video, testing Fuumuui watercolour paper for the first time

Join me for a relaxing hangout as I create a painting on Fuumuui 100% cotton watercolour paper, discuss my painting process, and give my personal opinion on this very economical paper!

Time for some fuuuun!


NB: this is not a sponsored post and I paid for all items out of my own pocket. All opinions are my own.

ART SUPPLIES:

Fuumuui 100% cotton paper pad 23x31cm/9x12in
Daniel Smith Watercolour Essentials set
QOR Phthalo Turquoise
Camel Artist Watercolours (by Kokuyo Camlin) - set of 12 (my go-to practice paints. I also own a larger set but the set of 12 is better. Be mindful that they have a strong smell reminiscent of DAS modeling clay, if you are sensitive to smells. I personally love that smell as it... reminds me of DAS, which in turn reminds me of happy childhood memories)
Artway "100% cotton" (dubious claim?) watercolour paper from Amazon
Leyton 100% cotton watercolour paper
Brushes: a whole bunch of them (I only used some) but mostly Silver Black Velvet, Art Secret and one Cass Art brush (the flat brush)
Cat hair. Oh god... it's EVERYWHERE

OTHER:

The YouTube channel I recommended you check out in my video is ‪@Nattosoup‬ (wow, I just realised I can now tag people!!! Wooohoo!). Becca has a LOT of great comparison and art supply testing videos, especially if you are nerdy and enjoy your videos on the longer side (I do)! She has gone where no YouTube channel has dared to go before by reviewing pretty much ALL of the most... suspicious looking student watercolour sets out there, with some... interesting results. Definite comfort watch (Becca, we appreciate your sacrifice).
