Thank you to Hahnemühle and Zebra Pens for generously contributing to this giveaway. YAY, it’s time for another chance to win some awesome art supplies. As I’ve mentioned, Hahnemühle’s Greybook is one of my favorite places to put down color. I love the game of figuring the best way to achieve a certain colors on toned paper. So, combining the Greybook & Zebra colored pencils is a match made in heaven.
Most of the time I use colored pencils in the Greybook but it also takes pen beautifully. This last week I played with Zebra’s Fountain pens on the toned paper and was wonderfully surprised to find how tough the paper is (left is fountain pens, right is colored pencils). Greybook and Cappuccino paper is 120gsm and is fully opaque. I found the pen did not bleed through and the paper took all I threw at it.
As I’ve shown in my Cappuccino book (the tan version of Greybook), you can just use plain black technical pens and some white gouache to achieve stunning results. Really, these toned books are very versatile and although I’ve never watercolored in them, I know people who do. I just recommend using less water than you normally would.
I’ve talked about the Greybook several times (once, twice, thrice) and reviewed Zebra colored pencils here. THAT’S what I’m giving away this time! Two weeks from now I’ll also be giving away a Cappuccino book so you have two chances to win in the next month.
As I said above, colored pencils and toned paper are a match made in heaven. The Zebra colored pencils are mechanical so you just click to advance the colored lead! How easy is that? They’re easy and fun to use, great for playing with color in your journals. There’s a good range of colors and although they are student grade, they work well and lay down a decent amount of color. The convenience factor of never having to sharpen them is wonderful. Here are the colors in the set.
HERE’S WHAT YOU CAN WIN:
- Hahnemühle Greybook (8×11)
- Zebra Mechanical Colored Pencils (24)
- Zebra Cadoodles mechanical pencil
- Rainbow “Just Add Water Silly” Mug
- 3 Pigma Micron Fine Liner black pens
- Signo White Gel pen
- Set of 4 Postcards (my artwork)
- Bumble the mascot pin
