Not only are the illustrations and travel memories wonderful, but it also contains some real wisdom for anyone wishing to create sketchbook art.
Another Flickr contact, Debo, told me where I could find an empty Schmincke travel palette --- I have a similar one sold by Kremer with only two mixing areas in the lid. This one is much more usable, having three large areas. (I know . . . . I'm a real palette junkie!)
With a 40% coupon, I decided to try the Indanthrene blue / PB 60 that Roz loves. Schmincke paints are not available here so I got one by Winsor & Newton. Then I saw these brushes for half-price; I'm using water-brushes way too much --- I'll shorten this flat brush to fit in a travel pack for brushes and pens.
I've been playing a little catchup with all my favorite bloggers and see that you're still doing beautiful work. Thanks for the link to Richard Sheppard...wow, he's good!
ReplyDeleteAlso, because I saw it on your site, I refitted my w&n box with large pans and tube paints. It is my favorite now...love all the mixing space! I couldn't live without a few extra colors though, and in the space that held the brush I inserted six half pans of convenience colors. My metal paint boxes haven't been touched since!
Catching up after a dry spell is fun --- and what a great idea using the brush space to hold half pans! Thanks, Raena!
