ellerEller’s Artisan Watercolors: The Ill-Advised Set
Handmade*, artisan** watercolors*** in a travel-sized**** set that will delight***** beginning as well as professional****** artists! Unique colors******* in a small-batch******** limited edition*********!
*a pretty much meaningless designator, considering how all the main ingredients are products of chemical processing done in a real lab, but whatever
**consistently shitty quality, that is
***that one, at least, is perfectly correct
****not-enough-colors
*****or at least amuse
******an outright lie
*******uniquely weird colors that no one will ever find a use for. Notice that LOVELY dark brown with discreet shimmer?
********at least I didn’t waste too much good pigment
*********I’m learning from my mistakes! Sorry to the single person out there who will sorely miss the exact shade of their guinea pig's fur!
….just to be clear: I’m not selling these. And not only because I can’t ship them internationally anyway these days. Unfortunately, I’m too much of a honest person. I'm just making fun of the way people on Etsy promote their selfmade colors. (Actually, I just realized that by providing information about the pigments I used, I'm being MORE professional about this than, like, 90% of sellers on Etsy. That's... just sad.)
But I'm happy that I managed to make colors that are somewhat useable. Also, Candle Glob is my perfect yellow.

Date: 2020-04-02 06:38 pm (UTC)Is there anything in particular you'd like to receive? Unfortunately the raven drawing is already gone (I sent that one to someone else already) but I can draw another raven or another bird if you like? What do you collect on ATCs?
For me, there's nothing that I really don't collect, stylistically. My favorite subjects are... Flowers and nature in general. Mermaids, dragons and other fantasy-ish subjects. Sundials. If you want to draw people, I collect my OCs. But generally I like all kinds of art! :D
All the best wishes to you and yours as well!
