How can you lack "motivation" to finish a gorgeous little baby elephant??!
I like to get things like this done in one sitting. My technique sucks so when I sit back down to pick up after a rest, I have to piss arse around trying to get it the same as the last bit.
But you're right! I've got it all out and set up and I'm cracking on!

Once dry they are permanent but when they are wet flood with water and you can often remove errors as long as you sort of keep it wet and don't let it dry out....i think you would have fun playing with them i certainly did/do!!!
Oh these definitely sound more me! Every time I've experimented with water colours ive always fucked up and got colour bleeds and mixing. I reckon I'd be able to layer with these better. I'm going to invest in a set I think. Now to decide if I'm going to go all out and get the big set, or keep it small to start.
but I've got comfortable here, so I thought, why the hell not! And, well, it would have never have come about if the DS wasn't so full of absolute shite recently
