>>5851805Time is another matter. Trad art is costly, For example any watercolor that aren't as good as Holbein brand will make your art looks darker, and destroyed in long term, Also any watercolor paper that aren't 100% cotton, acid free, and heavier than 200gsm can't archive watercolor effect. You better off with digital rather than buy cheap tools for practice, you get the hang of watercolor that way.
Also the art tools ndustry is shady as fuck, for example Pentel was pressured by activists to reduce the quality of their cheap watercolor while increasing it't price, stop promoting their Pony hair brush which is high quality, took from the mane of farm horses,... while other expensive brand are more brutal to animals in nature got close to no pressure...
Trad art nowaday use digital to find the best colorscheme instead of wasting a lot of paint for it so you cant say digital have nothing to do with trad.
The people who post trad vs digital are boomers who never draw or paint seller.
