Love the flow of exercises provided. Great for people who want to improve colour mixing and colour control. I had some issues with the masking fluid. Somehow, it seeps through to other areas of the paper and creates a barrier on the non-masked area, causing my paint to not be absorbed by the paper and become splotchy. Didn’t manage to take a photo of it but i could peel off a layer of masking fluid on areas i did not put it on. This happened a day after i paint the first layer over the masking fluid and when i try to paint the second layer. Rubbing slightly harder caused the paper to tear (pastry and fruit exercise page). Had to make quite an effort to salvage that page. I switched out the masking fluid and am seeing if it happens again. Love the vibrant Holbein paint. Other than the tearing, the paper is really nice to paint on and can handle multiple layers of paint. Colour pencil in the series 2 set was chipped and slightly split at the end. Overall, I like how Vic Moey thoughtfully planned out the exercises, allowing the user to apply the techniques previously learnt and in increasing difficulty. Really enjoyed the challenge of trying to get the right shade and depth of colour and seeing it all come together in a scrumptious treat. Hope this series continues.
