hat man

inktense pencils, colored pencils, oil pastels, acrylic paint, matte gel medium on muslin

these men with hats are awfully nice to draw... and they seem so somehow solid, don't they? the inktense bird is underneath him - i ordered about 25 more colors yesterday from dick blick. they're reasonably priced online, only $1.21 each. ha! now i need a case for them! maybe i should call 1 - 800 - 4CP - HELP. ; )

by the time this goes up i'll be in oregon, visiting friends. i'm taking my pocket moleskine, colored pencils and a glue stick. that oughta hold me for a few days...

the sun is shining!

  18. When I was a kid, the

    SPECIAL,
    RICH
    kids all ahd derwent color pencils. Some had the deluxe wooden box of 32.

    I craved a set.

    Then as a grown up
    I learned that Derwent had sold to another company and their fabulous pencils were not as fabulous. Corners cut, the wood didnt feel right.

    Now I see the inktense pencils in that

    same wooden box, and my inner child

    just wants them!
