I tend to paint a bit loose. I like to.

I think when people are self taught, they have tendencies to develop their own style faster, because nobody is teaching them another person's technique, to do things another way.

I used 100% cotton paper and Turner Artist Grade watercolor, which is extremely affordable, great quality, lightfast, and very pigmented. Jerry's Artarama sells it, dirt cheap. I get nothing for sharing that, other than maybe helping you find an extremely high quality watercolor tube paint at a very affordable price.

I only buy watercolor in tubes. I did when first starting because it's flexiable. You can paint straight from the tube or make your own custom palettes in any size. I like making my own palettes. I don't paint from the tube, but some do. If I'm going to pay for some decent watercolor paint, I want more options that come with it. I like making my own set ups.
