Kid's Art Rarity

From last night's Picarto   stream. For most of that stream I was using the MLP Art Set that my wife got me as an amusing gift. MLP Art Set stream Saturday 6/9/18
Last weekend my wife as a joke got me this My Little Pony art set. Well unboxing videos are popular, and so this Saturday 6/9/18 starting at 5:30pm Pacific I will be breaking the plastic security strap on this art set and then will attempt create artwork with it on my Picarto   stream.  I will have had no chance to look at or practice with any of the materials in the set. They say it's a poor craftsman who blames his tools. Let's see if I regret making that last statement this Saturday.

    This is the Rarity piece I created using the 'watercolor' paints in the set. In reality they were much more like tempera-style poster paints. Very chalky and mostly sedimentary colors. Now watercolors are not a media I am very familiar in, but in one hour this is what I was able to accomplish. Unfortunately, or fortunately, there was no blank pages in the Art Pad that came in the set. In reality the Art Pad was a giant coloring book. So Rarity was done on a sheet of Strathmore 400 series vellum finish Bristol Board. Not an optimal surface for watercolor, but since I was not doing any wet-into-wet techniques it was able to handle the paint.
