It's... kind of gouache? This is the first time I've done anything where line art was not a part of the final product.

This was rather a surprising experience with watercolors for the very first time ever. I hadn't even realized that in watercolors pigment gets pushed around and actively moved. This was interesting to work with, and I think I need to figure out what watercolor techniques exist. Natural media simulation is just so exciting, especially because families of presettings combined with different brush engines results in needing to learn brand new media, essentially.

I mean, I remember with GIMP and Photoshop (a very long time ago), you could kinda just use different brush images and nothing really essential changed, even if the marks looked different.

ArtRage is a whole new ballgame of course.

I should go read the ArtRage tutorial about watercolors.
