“Nitram Aquarelle has become one of my favourite mediums. There is a bit of a learning curve to working with it, as it behaves a little differently than regular watercolor, but it is 100% worth it!
It lets you have a lot of control over your artwork, as it allows you to add and also subtract the pigment from the paper! I absolutely love the end result it gives to my works. There is an amazing texture to each brushstroke that is quite unique!”
