Hey!
So I'll start by saying that I have had a long-standing love affair with art stores, crafts stores, and pinning random things on Pinterest!
I of course am starting this blog to help organize my thoughts, but also to get down on paper the ideas I have in my head.
I'll start by saying that the process of falling in love with color has been a long process, but one that ultimately has led to me to many happy experiments! Nothing wrong with that. :)
Experiments in Color
Adult Coloring Books
My love of coloring has blossomed because of the adult coloring movement. I have always been a huge fan of pens. In middle school, it was gel pens and those infamous "gelly roll" pens. haha! Then, in high school I was obsessed with journalling, and my obsession's flame was fanned with
THIS JOURNAL
and THESE PENS
As an adult, I started playing around with different journals and varying pens, sometimes finding ones I liked or enjoyed using. However, only
THESE COLORING PENS made me happy !
Recently I have discovered the beauty of brush markers, and I'm absolutely smitten. Of course there is no magic wand, but when it comes to adult coloring books, these markers are the closest you can get. They're the best!
Drawing
In terms of fine line drawing and fine art sketching, I'm still pretty basic. I like drawing in fine-tip so these pencils work for me and these pens, once again (because) they are MAGIC.
I've had a little bit of success with drawing and combining that with watercolor.
Painting
I moved from Crayola Watercolor to this set of many colors this watercolor set (I think it was from) Michael's when I was a newlywed.
I then this one which is REALLY fun, but honestly that is as far as I have gotten, but I do LOVE them!
This is the piece of art I created with that set of paints! ;-)
How about you? Do you like art yourself? What types of art are you able to focus your energy on? Tell me about your favorite tools in the comments! :)
