Budget vs. Luxury Watercolors: Is There Really a Difference?

Join me on Patreon https://patreon.com/dianeantonestudio
In this watercolor tutorial I'm testing Paul Reubens QiaoMei student-grade watercolors against Michael Harding professional paints by painting the same floral composition and comparing the result to help you decide whether to invest in professional paints or achieve great results with affordable options. Perfect for beginners and experienced artists looking to experiment with their watercolor techniques. For a more in-depth exploration of floral composition, color mixing and color matching, and how to use thumbnail sketches join me on Patreon for an exclusive follow-up video! https://www.patreon.com/posts/exclusive-in-for-113681643?utm_medium=clipboard_copy&utm_source=copyLink&utm_campaign=postshare_creator&utm_content=join_link

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/product.html
