You will find me using Kuretake paints often on my YouTube channel. They are among my favorite art supplies! These graphite watercolors are especially amazing. Their moody, rich colors are so much fun to add to landscapes, flowers, and (as you see here) graphite face drawings! :) The purple and green are my favorites. With a few simple art supplies, you can create! Her eyes are a bit wonky, but the girl has some confident drama going on. :) I used Fabriano hot press paper. ... View the Post
Penguin Painting with Lyra Aquarell Crayons & VIDEO
I felt like painting a penguin. :) I know, it is out of my wheelhouse and not remotely realistic, but it was fun! I always enjoy pulling out my Lyra Aquarell crayons. They are highly pigmented. I enjoy using them just as much as my Caran D'Ache (and they are a lot cheaper). I have the 24 and 48 set. You can use them in a variety of ways, and they are perfect for mixed media paintings because of how well they play with other media. These pigmented crayons work well on canvas and a variety of ...

Fashion fun! I love this color palette. It is timeless and cheerful! :) I painted some fashion blouses and created a surface pattern design with some past paintings that coordinated.
