Playing with Water-Soluble Pens

Playing with Water-Soluble Pens

Those of you that have watched my DVD, know that I love to play with water-soluble pens.  I don’t think that I can pass up a good looking pen.  I have so many that I really can’t keep track of them.  I have been playing around with water-soluble pens for an article that will be in the 2014 summer issue of the PAGES magazine.  To organize my pens, I made examples of each one in my watercolor journal.  Do you have a pen you love?  What is your favorite pen to use in your journals?  How do you organize your pens?

Watercolor Journal Page using Expansion Kit colors.

I am happy to announce that have designed a Daniel Smith Expansion Kit and it is now available for purchase.  It is the perfect complement to my Daniel Smith Jacqueline Newbold Travel Kit.  These additional six Daniel Smith colors are my favorite go-to colors and are always on my palette.  I suggest these when students ask for more color ideas to fill up their palettes.  Along with the addition of these beautiful colors, a larger and smaller brush, artist tape, water holder and a great vinyl art bag to hold it all, you now have everything you need to paint at home or while you travel!  It ships priority mail at no charge.  If you want to add additional art supplies to your order, be sure to tell them my TRP number (phone-in orders only) and you will get an additional 10% off of your order!  A gift for you 🙂
Here is my TRP NUMBER:  TRP00274
 

Watercolor Traveling Kit

Watercolor Traveling Kit

My Favorite Traveling Palette

I am thrilled to announce my partnership with Daniel Smith Art Supplies.  They have just launched my new Watercolor Traveling Kit that I designed for the traveling artist but it is perfect for people who are new to watercolor painting as well or for those who want to fill out their color palette.   This kit has it all (just add a pencil!).  I picked 12 colors, one for every color on the color wheel, my favorite folding palette, several brushes, a zippered case and an Arches watercolor journal. This would be the perfect companion to go with with my new DVD, Art Journals.  You will be able to create beautiful, colorful paintings with the colors I chose!

12 Colors – One for every color on the color wheel

Not only do you get a fabulous discount, this kit comes with free shipping!  NOTE: If you want to add more supplies and still get free shipping, you will need to call in your order and not order it online.

I would love to hear what you think about this kit.  Leave me a comment!
