The Arrtx acrylic markers have been a lot of fun to use in recent weeks. The have various kinds, including this dual end style. You can use these as is for a smooth, opaque color, or dilute with water and a paintbrush for a gouache style.

I love peacocks. They are interesting birds with beautiful colors to paint. Check out the video at the bottom of the post!

Mixed Media Horse Head Painting
Until around 2016, I thought that I couldn't paint or draw. As a kid, I could only draw clothes, houses, and horse heads to the right.

Mungyo Watercolor Crayons & VIDEO
I love Mungyo oil pastels, so I was excited when I saw these affordable watercolor crayons. They are water soluble, so they can be used dry and wet, which makes them a great travel art supply. Mungyo watercolor crayons reminded me of my set of twelve crayons from Jane Davenport. Watch the VIDEO to see specifics while comparing the two products. I don't think that they are on the same level as Caran D'Ache or Lyra Aquarelle crayons, but I think that they are a good product without a huge ... View the Post
