ArtFlow? Mmm, not really. I've always stuck with Arches or Fabriano. They're a bit pricier, but their quality is consistent. I worry about new brands bleeding colors.
English
ArtFlow？嗯，没怎么听说过。我一直都用Arches或者Fabriano。它们虽然贵一点，但质量很稳定。我担心新品牌会渗色。

That's a fair point. But this large pad is almost half the price of a similar Arches one. It might be worth trying one for a project that's not too critical, just to see.
English
说得有道理。但是这个大画本的价格几乎是同类Arches画本的一半。也许值得买一个试试，用于一个不太重要的项目，看看效果。

Hmm, you've got a point. For practice pieces, it could be perfect. What about brushes? Are you still thinking of getting those synthetic squirrel ones?

Yes, actually! The reviews say they hold a lot of water and have a great point, similar to natural squirrel but more durable. And they're much easier to clean.

That sounds promising. Let's grab a few of those – a round and a flat. And maybe we can snag one of those ArtFlow pads to test it out. What do you think?
