I started a new sketchbook. So far I am happy with only two pages (this is the title page). The paper is more toothy and rough than Moleskine sketchbook and I find it more challenging to draw zentangles and doodles =( But I tried acrylic paint on it and watercolours and although this sketchbook is meant for light washes only, even acrylic looks fine. Watercolours look better though!
This is my first attempt at using acrylic paint. I am mesmerized by the fact that it dries so quickly AND when it dries it is so smooth to touch! I had never had acrylics when I was a kid. I only ever used watercolours and gouache, so this is a new experience for me. Love that I can do layers of paint.
I am satisfied with my white marker too.
God help me, I bought more art supplies!
My first acrylic paints (already tried them and they are so smooth!) and I am almost done with my current art journal, so I purchased two. Once is very heavy thick paper perfect for mixed media (on the left), and the other is a sketchbook but is also suitable for light washes (on the right). And pens. More pens. And finally a white permanent marker that actually works! Sadly it is not a fine tip, but I am managing.
I also got glossy gel medium. Which is awesome but it is sooo sticky and disgusting when it gets on my fingers. Worse then glue :(
But I am very excited and I am already trying all of these :D
