Plate to Paper Watercolour Art Kit: First Edition

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.

I love to sketch in a daily journal since the first lockdown. I am self-taught so there are a lot of things to discover and to learn. Sometimes I want to sketch but I lack inspiration and/or motivation and so these kits are awesome! I took two kits right now. The only downside is that we're obliged to take the sketchbooks with it while for me the workbook to practice was already enough. Also the little cards and other goodies were not necessary for me. But I'm happy with the materials who are perfect and complete to can do all the exercises needed in the workbook.

I love the kit, the quality is excellent, I had a small issue with customs in my country (México) they took away the watercolors, color pencil and masking ink, if you are from Mexico please be aware that those items are prohibited here :c I was sad because of that but the mossery team were so kind to provide me with a gift card to compensate those items. So I got a 100% cotton refill :D I'm very happy, over all is a wonderful kit and I will be buying from them again in the future!

Amazing set, fun for stress relief and just getting into painting

I’m a stay at home mom with three kids (all under 12 so they can’t be vaccinated yet) and my husband, who is a virologist, has been work from home for about 18 months now. Our house is too small (and halfway falling apart) for all of us to be here all of the time and for all of our meals to be cooked here. It’s been a rough year and a half … for everyone.

I didn’t realize how much I needed some sort of creative and relaxing outlet until I started using my Plate to Paper kit.

It’s charming and intensely satisfying to use. I’ve never been a painter or really done any sort of visual arts (at least since I was a child), so I’m a total beginner. But this kit has led me through some of the basics with the charming Japanese snacks and foods. My dad went to medical school in Japan so we have visited a few times and hope to return next year. Every so often one of my kids will look at the different foods and we will remember our middle of the night trips to 7-11 when we were last in Japan. My kids also enjoy commenting on my finished paintings and giving me advice. I hope to that by watching me paint, they are inspired to do some of their own creations. We already have a few snacks picked out that we would like to learn how to make at home!

I love that there’s a blank notebook and look forward to feeling confident enough to venture into my own creations.

I am trying to document and share some of my experiences and progress with Plate to Paper on my IG (wildgooseland) and my blog (www.wildgooseland.com). I hope that you’ll check those out.
