“Even I spent most of the time on digital painting,  I feel most comfortable drawing and paint with an actual brush, color, and paper.  Because in this way, I have better control of my line and a more direct reaction towards my color choice. ”

“I rarely use watercolor even I like its color tone so much because it needs too much preparation before I can actually paint with it. For digital painting tablet,  there is too much part to bring outside to paint. ”

“When I paint with watercolor, I feel it has too many extra works to do with it -- changing water, cleaning brushes, etc... and it is still quite hard for me to keep the color consistent each time I tried to get the same color.  Digital paint to me always harder to control,   always has a sense of unrealistic.”

'Users are not satisfied on both Traditional and digital painting method.'

Introducing a new way of painting with watercolor by using an accurate digital color selector and a real brush.
