Wow thx for the help.

Never heard of acryla gouache before. I’ve tried water color once and I love how it just does its own thing. It’s so tender too and I’d love to combine it with black ink.

I’d also like to try more Indian ink. I have some pencils but I’m thinking of getting some pots. Any tips there? I was thinking it allows for intense colors but also you can water it down and use it more like water color.

Oil I don’t know where to start. It sounds very involved and that I might need access to an oven and stuff?

I’ll look into acrylic paper. I have a bunch of canvas because I found a cute little store stuffed to the brim with everything and it was very affordable. It was owned by some artist. But paper I could just tape to some wood on the easel.

Currently I’m working on something that is rather challenging. It’s a night scene that’s partly city and partly nature and it has light. I’m not sure if I should mix gradients, say the color of what the light is on, and the light itself. Or if I should let the background dry and then use ample water so it becomes transparent? I could use some white yellow as light on top.
