Extra Colors Suggestions I don’t know if you’ve heard but Wet Paint has a New custom Schmincke palette that is on Pre-Order now. I have talked all about what’s in the palette and what you get HERE but I thought I’d talk about extra colors you may want to add to that palette. The tin…

Jenny’s Squirrel on Hahnemühle Britannia Quattro
I have only recently had the fortitude to move into trying to capture animals. No I don’t mean with cheese and a trap, lol. Until now, I didn’t feel confident enough in my skills to actually render a drawing that encompassed all the wonderful things animals embody. They’re so cute, fluffy, curious and full of…
Oh The Color & New Hahnemühle Watercolor Postcards
Did you know that My “Juicy” Trio is still available for purchase? If you haven’t heard, I got the opportunity to work with Da Vinci Paints to make a limited palette of three new 8ml watercolor tubes. It was a spectacularly fun project. Read all about it here. I used my three colors (red rose…
Playing with my “Juicy” Trio
I’m working with my Da Vinci “Juicy” Trio again today, using both Hahnemühle Quattro Skizzie paper and my Leda Sketchbook. I wanted to show that you don’t have to work like I do, this paint works in many ways and on many kinds of paper. This first piece is done on Hahnemühle’s Quattro Skizzie Sketch paper….

Leda Sketchbook Flowers + Coupon Code
I love working in the Leda sketchbook (review). It has so many pages (160) that I never have to feel guilty about just playing. It’s wonderful to just let my artistic muse play, not think about balance or composition or perfection. I can just get the pens or pencils out and go nuts. It’s awesome….
Leonardo & Deconstructed Olive Oil
I’ve already said (Here and Here) that I love Hahnemühle’s Cézanne watercolor paper, either hot or cold pressed. While Cézanne is their 140lb/300gsm Leonardo is the 300lb/600gsm version of Cézanne! These olives are done on the hot pressed watercolor paper. I’m hoping to also try the cold pressed soon. So far, so good. I’m still…
Vampire-Free Hahnemühle Nostalgie Sketchbook Review
So in the last couple weeks I’ve put the Hahnemühle Nostalgie sketchbook through it’s paces. I’ve used pencil crayons (Faber-Castell Albrecht Dürer watercolor pencils), pen & ink (Zebra Brush Pen, Pentel Brush Pen, AD Markers & Tombow Dual Brush Pens) and watercolors (Da Vinci). I even tried liquifying my watercolor pencils and used a blender…

I’ll be doing a comprehensive review on the sketchbook later in the month but until then here’s some simple details. The sketchbook has 80 pages that are suitable for light…
