What I Recommend
Introducing Da Vinci Watercolor Trios!
What happens when you give three artists nine new tubes of paint, tell them to choose three and get creative? Well, you get a very cool project. Charlie O’Shields, World Watercolor Month and Doodlewash.com creator, paired up with Da Vinci (website) to do a unique project called “3 Colors, 3 Artists”. Charlie asked me and…
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…

Hahnemühle Watercolor Book Review
Hahnemühle watercolor book is a hardcover journal that’ll take all kinds of media including, of course, watercolor. It’s paper is a neutral white with a little bit of texture, much like if hot and cold pressed paper had a baby. I’m reviewing the A5 landscape (6″ x 8″), it was generously sent to me by…
Review: Huion Graphics Tablet (DWH69)
I was thrilled when Huion contacted me to see if I’d like to review one of their drawing tablets. I had previously done a little research on tablets and found that Huion’s reputation was stellar, they are well known to be one of the best tablet makers at a very reasonable price. I purchased the…
