The Distress line of colors from Ranger Ink were some of my first paper crafting products back in 2016. I love the range of colors and ink formulations. I am a little late with reviewing the Distress pencils (their version of watercolor pencils), sets 1-3. I have a video below, so check that out! :) I have been using Lyra Aquarelle sticks, Inktense pencils, and Caran D'ache for some time. I would not consider the Distress pencils of the same quality, but I do think there is a valid place ... View the Post

Tombow Markers Painting of a Lady & VIDEO TUTORIAL
Tombow watercolor brush pens are a diverse art supply! I created this lady in my Strathmore watercolor art journal (video is at the bottom of post). Markers are great for travel, they have two tip styles, they can be used as drawing tools, then later activated, and the list goes on. The color selection is great! I love to scribble them on a stamping block, then spray with water to use as paint. They are great for card makers as well, as they can color in the tight spaces of stamped ... View the Post
Mixed Media Walrus Painting & VIDEO
In the spirit of adorable sea animals, I bring you a walrus! :) I painted him in mostly watercolor and oil pastels. There is also a touch of colored pencil and a bit of a white Posca paint pen as well. I started painting by using a wet-on-wet technique, dropping in various neutral browns, reds, and grays. Once that dried, I decided to layer oil pastels and used colored pencils for the finer details. Check out the video on YouTube below, as well as a walrus pattern available in fabric ... View the Post
