Let's paint with $1 Watercolor paint!

Picture
  The annual inflation rate in the US accelerated to 7.9% in February of 2022, the highest since January of 1982, matching market expectations.  ​In this age of inflation, I thought about how to draw more freely without being limited by the cost of materials.
  ​So what I came up with was watercolor paint for a dollar. 
Picture
  ​If you buy these 24, you can spend $0.83 each, or less than $1. 
 ​I finished two guinea pigs with this $1 watercolor paint as shown below, a 2H pencil to sketch, water, a piece of kitchen towel, and white acrylic paint. For reference, I don't use the eraser as often as possible. I've been training like that ever since. Because I don't like pencil marks left on drawings. However we  can add an eraser here as needed.

  ​If possible, sketch with a 2H pencil to create soft lines.

  ​With watercolor it's important to lay down your light colors first and work towards the darker colors. 
Picture
  ​Paint the white fur part with white acrylic color. At this time, mix a little brown color together and paint.

  ​It emphasizes the details of the eyes and fur.

  ​Treat the highlights with white acrylic paint.

 Here is the result.

  ​It's a one dollar watercolor, but I didn't have any trouble painting it. Rather, it seems that the colors and materials are minimal, making it simpler and easier to express.
