Study in scarlet…
Well kind of… I did use Daniel Smith’s Deep Scarlet on the poppies, but there is more QoR Pyrrole Red than scarlet going on here. I was trying to practice negative painting a bit, but I think I still need more practice. It looks a bit forced to me. By and large I like the way it all turned out, especially how the Nickel Azo…[Read more]

Nummy-Ness in a square…
It’s a good thing I’m complete rubbish at baking, because I have a huge weakness for brownies. Luckily that doesn’t stop me from painting them. Although painting them does make me want a whole pan of them for dinner, which probably is a really bad idea. Good thing I don’t have any mixes or raw ingredients on hand for my…[Read more]

Yes it was a close call. 🙂 And hubby so hates my emergencies, lol, he just groaned when I told him. But I did show restraint, while I looked at a bunch of other goodies, I only came home with sketchbooks.
I have never used the Strathmore professional so this will be fun when I can finally get ahold on some.

So am I. Strathmore has come out with a new series of cotton journals and pads for Urban Sketchers and Plein air artists. I’m just waiting for them to start hitting stores so I can check those out as well. 🙂

I did the kickstarter for the Perfect sketchbook and am so looking forward to their arrival in July!

Art emergency…
Yesterday morning I had to declare an art emergency. It was so horrifying. There was only one more page in my sketchbook!
Obviously a trip to the art store was needed. 😁
I decided to go check what was available at a local art store that I only visit once in a while. They had some fun options to choose from and they were having…[Read more]

Great purchases. I love 100 % cotton paper and am so glad that more companies are making sketchbooks with it.

I’m glad your emergency was over quickly and that no one was hurt – except maybe your pocketbook, lol! I’ve been debating about trying the Strathmore Cotton. I’ve used their Series 5 professional in the past and liked them. I suspect these new ones are rebranded versions of them.

Stop laughing it doesn’t happen that often…
Okay, yes it does. Totally the norm for me.
Anyhow…
“Baby blue”, oddly enough made me think of blue bells. With Spring finally here, I have flowers on the brain and the Jean Haines book, Atmospheric Flowers, I ordered recently arrived. So bluebells seemed like a lovely…[Read more]

Just makes me smile…
And possibly renders me a tad bit “tickled pink”. Flowers that is. I love flowers. I love seeing them when they first start to bloom in the spring with all their bright happy colors. I watch in awe as they reach full bloom stage and slowly start to fade only to be replaced by new blooms.
But most of all I love to receive…[Read more]

I so rarely use actual black, at most I mix colors I am already using to get darks. Black is not one of my favorite colors.
