World's most terrible watercolour paper (I mad)
I recieved my new paints today, swatched them, all good. Then I wanted to make some colour studies for my next painting (a cute couple about to dance uhu), since I got some iridescent gold in it and I thought it would be perfect for this piece. I had a sketchbook gifted to me a while ago that had 100% cotton paper and thought it would be better I used that as a preview for my painting. This is the sketchbook (ignore the red one for now): Looks good right? It is NOT! And here's why: the paper becomes yellow when wet the paper absorbs water instantly, I wet the hell out of it, and it still didn't look like I was painting wet into wet the paper bled through, HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU SEEN WATERCOLOUR PAPER BLEED???? for me it's the first time, look: This is the back side of my page, WHAT????? Now here's a comparison, same exact techniques, same paints, with my trusted sketchbook: The paper was as wet as the sea and still my back stroked looked like I was adding them on top of dry
Welcome to my World feature n392
Personal News I'm in a weird place in my life where I simply cannot fit everything I like and everything I want to do in the time health allows me to use. So I'm very confused, I don't know what do to, and all I can feel is being unless/unproductive, just all in all bad. I needed a new brush, and I didn't want to go to Paris and pay for the trip just for one brush. I didn't want to pay for delivery either, for ONE brush. Then, I guess Mister was really happy seeing me draw and paint again that he bought me 100€ worth of paints and brushes ... So yeah, I'll soon have new pigments to try. Note: we share all our money, when I say "he bought me", I meant he thought it would be a good way of spending OUR money. Meanwhile, here's what I recently did: Starters From my collections!

Trying to feed myself for 3 days while home alone
I had so much to say about this but ... now I don't have the words for it. You might know me as someone who loves food, and I do, I love it! Food is really linked with happiness for me. And ... I don't like being alone. So ... less happy = difficult to feed myself. It really is that linked. So, without saying more, bc, ugh, here are bad photos of all the meals (minus the repetitive ones) and snacks that fed me for 3 days. I didn't skin a single meal, nor a single snack time! (for ex: I ate way more pizza, but there is only one photo, I ate way more muffins, but there is only one photo) Pizza, polenta, rice and mushrooms were prepared by Mister before he left. I made the white sauce with him help before he left too. And the first salad is some leftovers. The rest is just adding some stuff to the plate to make it more exciting, like olives or pickes; heating up the food, plating it nicelly, etc
First time making ONIGIRAZU
This mandated a journal, because Luala is so damn proud of this one. So, story: yesterday evening Mister and I decided we would try making onigirazu, the sushi sandwich thing, since Mister is on a journey of mastering sushi rice (or at least making it edible). So, my first attemp: I wanted to make something with a variety of ingredients to make it interesting and ... it didn't work. First I'll show it to you, then I'll explain: So, the thing here, it was tasteless, all you could feel was the rice, the nori sheet and the chilly sauce we dipped it in, as it was also dry. It was not enough food for a full meal. I had to eat a lot of other stuff after it. Today, I made my second attempt, and it was perfect: First of all, I reduced the filling to 2 things: a sizeable slice of smoked tofu and a thick layer of carrots. For these carrots, we did the same thing we did with the sweet potato the other day, but we doubled the sauce, so that the sandwich isn't dry and tastless. So more saucy
