[QUOTE="geefull, post: 2293845, member: 305199"] good noontide all ;) 4.3 today Fortunately only about 18'C here :) been reorganising my workspace this morning (to an extent :hilarious:) so I can have a sort out of my art supplies :D I'm rapidly coming to the realisation that art supplies are as addictive as any other craft stash :sorry: Latest aquisition are some watercolour pencils to replace the duff ones I got rid of. I already have a small set of 12 'inktense' pencils but they don't really handle the same as watercolour, being ink they are not liftable once dried. I like them, they are very vibrant - but also expensive ;) I know that [USER=505893]@Muddy Cyclist[/USER] uses Faber Castell polychromos but I haven't much experience using watercolour pencils yet so I decided to go for an intermediate level set and aquired some Arteza watercolour pencils. these will give me a chance to see how I get on with them. Hope your day is treating you well :) [USER=57698]@lindisfel[/USER] - I especially like the 'eyes', very effective :) [USER=179219]@dunelm[/USER] - fluid drawing, I like the 'dry brush' effect on some of the stems and the lighter shades that give variety to the tonal level :joyful: [USER=238814]@gennepher[/USER] - Popeye looks fairly 'chill' with his custom cooler :D Blending seems to be smoother in the app than it would be with 'real' pastels and I agree that the birds have given your picture a strong focus, it very much speaks to me of the heat most of us are getting just at the moment ;) art bit - I agree with you [USER=505893]@Muddy Cyclist[/USER] I don't know whether yesterday's experiment is something I would incorporate with my usual style regularly so I tried making more of a hybrid, and here it is ;) [ATTACH=full]43203[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
