Some pigments work better than others but there's unexpected lovliness from the results and the 'failures' are nice to sketch on.<br /><br />Your picture makes me feel like paddling but it's a touch too cold for that now.... have a great day.Lisa Le Quelenechttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15939073566444931704noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16927229.post-64558662000294933962011-12-04T19:28:58.216+00:002011-12-04T19:28:58.216+00:00A great review, Vivien!

I have several (el cheapo) soluble pencils, plus a small set of Inktense and I fell in love with water brushes a few tears ago.<br />I have seen bigger brushes somewhere. Possibly Chinese? If I wanted to use big squirrels plein air I'd take a couple of plastic film canisters with water.<br />Than ks for the show-and-tell. :-)<br /><br />Oh!

I keep to neutral colours (read umber and black) and use a waterbrush to blend.<br /><br />I love their versatility and how to can capture so much without having to lug a ton of supplies with you when you want to sketch. They have my vote and I think yours too. :)Jeanette Jobsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08935974758134419990noreply@blogger.com
