Coloring outside the lines is a fine art. ~Kim Nance
I just had to share with you these little watercolor pens..My Neighbor/Friend..Nancy..bought herself one or 2 of these..She is a true artist..like some of my blogger friends are:)
She showed me and I said:"Next time you go to your art store..can you pick me up one or 2?"..:)
And she did..
She does all kinds of art..she writes.. she does gouache,pastels,oil,watercolor,sketches..Adds fine papers.. I love her studio..Her easel..the way the light shines.. her works in progress..It's a treat for me to go in..
I like playing w/ my small Cotman pocket kit..next time I will make sure it has a little water bottle..
But look at these little marvels...the water is in the pen:)
I keep them in our sunroom w/ the travel kit.. and a new sketchbook..
I am a paint by number artist..I've told you that..
But these are so much fun..I encourage all of you who would like to try tarvel watercolor:) to get one of these..
Speaking of artists..Have you seen Ronelle's new gallery? She is African Tapestry..the Food Blog..and The Art blog,she's just been on a painnting trip to Provence..and has just opened up her own absolutely charming gallery..Go see here..In person would be so nice!!
These are really neat watercolor pens. They look so practical and easy to paint with. Summer is great for sitting outside and painting nature--when it's not too hot, of course:)

What a lovely post; I was not gifted with that talent, but really admire other people who share it with us.

You are amazing. I think in my next life I will be blessed with creativity. I am envious of those with the talent.
ReplyDeleteMonique those are so cool! I have not pulled out my watercolors in such a long time! I think I will look for some of those pens...wonder if Michael's would have them?
ReplyDeleteOnce again....my soul is fed!
These little pens are perfect for a travel case. I've never seen anything like them in the art store. I'm looking forward to seeing what you do with them, Monique.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen those pens, Monique! They are A Good Thing :) I must look to see if my favorite online art supply store carries them!
ReplyDeleteI love your watercolor sketch :)
I must see Ronelles new gallery - I love her food watercolors too.
Susan..that's why I posted..so you all could get some..They are so nice even in the backyard..

Love this idea, Monique. I never knew there was such a thing.
ReplyDeleteI can't even draw a stick figure! I think I'm hopeless.
I must go fossicking in the shops to see if I can find these pens Monique - they sound like a great idea.

Just look! I ask to see your work and here is one I missed. Sorry I've been MIA. Busy, busy here with little time on the computer. Then my computer had to go to the DR for a bit of work. ;-)
ReplyDeleteBut I'm back this morning catching up on all that I missed here. Big sigh! You know I find pleasure in all that you post. ~ Sarah
