Painted things in the wrong box. Twice. Still ate. 💅

But fr, if you’re stuck choosing between watercolour paints and watercolour pencils, this one’s for you 🎨✏️

Drew put Derwent Inktense pencils and Mont Marte watercolours side by side across 13 techniques, so you can see exactly how each one behaves:
💧 Flat washes and gradients
🌊 Wet on wet and colour bleeding
🪨 Natural textures like wood grain, foliage and rocks
✍️ Line work, layering and dry brush
🧽 Lifting colour to fix mistakes

Whether you’re just starting out or levelling up your watercolour skills, it’s the comparison we wish we’d had when we started.

Full video’s on our YouTube (link in bio) 🔗 Save this for your next art supply haul.

Dip pen or cartridge pen? We asked Kat which calligraphy set beginners should actually start with ✍️

If you want the classic ink dip pen experience, the Mont Marte Calligraphy Set – Dip Pen 9 Nibs lets you pick your own ink and play with different nibs.
If you’d rather skip the ink pot, the Mont Marte Calligraphy Set – Metal Tin 32pc uses ink cartridges and comes with a how-to booklet, so you’re learning from page one.

Beginner tip: thin on the way up, thick on the way down. Go light on your upstrokes, press on your downstrokes, and slow riiight down. Calligraphy rewards patience, not speed.

Both sets are 25% off in our Christmas Sale 🎄 Save this for later and tell us which team you’re on: dip or cartridge?
