How do you say this?

How do you say this in grammatical Chinese: "Do you have watercolour paint?"

Posted

Thanks. How about..."Do you have any drawing blocks" and "Do you have any (artist's) canvas?" and the Chinese word for "pastel"?

Thanks a lot in advance.

I don't paint / draw so I don't know what a drawing block is.

You can use 畫油畫用的帆布 for "canvas". The chinese literally means "canvas for painting oil paintings". Or perhaps you could use 油畫布.

"pastel" is 粉蠟筆.

you can use the 你有……嗎? pattern.

Thanks Skylee, you've been a great help.

One last question...what is the measure word for 油畫布?

“Consider 你有水彩顔料嗎?“”

If this is to be said in "real life" I'd prefer using the 有没有 as it would leave the emphasis on the subject, while 吗 otherwise focuses some of the sentence. Also, if you're saying such a new "long" term, you might not say it fluently and adding the ma at the end would seem awkward.
