300 lb. cold press Kilimanjaro Koi Watercolors

This piece inspired by some moths, I photographed in our yard. The big moth actually is colored as close to real as possible. These were really cool moths!

Hi this is so pretty...I can't wait to try watercolor..Is it done with watercolor pencils or paint........Shirley

I use Koi watercolos right now, - (tubes, paint) by Sakura. I really am not that fond of the watercolor pencils, and even though I have some, I hardly ever pick them up. I have Yarka watercolors on my Christmas wish list, and I am keeping my fingers crossed, that Santa sees fit to put them under my tree Christmas morning. They are really the best watercolors, and I am fainting with anticipation at having a full set....large grin! I am sure you will enjoy using watercolors, they are so versital, and cost effective too!!! A little goes a long way, and they have lasting power in that area.

Beautiful, as always. I love how you've made the moths and the woman seem so related, showing they are both parts of the same world. The textures are amazing, as always. I really do need to get some good sketches done, because I really want to try some watercolor work like this.

I hope you get the watercolor set you've been wanting! Personally, I am in love with the little cakes of watercolors my friend has--I can't think of the brand name right now. But such a tiny bit goes a really long way! She's had them nearly a year, and they're barely even missing any.

thank you very much...yes you really need to give watercolors a go, I just love em, so I am a bit biased though...grin" I got my Yarka sets for Christmas...oh my I am hooked, really hooked, they are fantastic...I highly recommend them to any one interested in watercolors.
