Caran d'ache neocolor ii

I have looked at these watersoluble crayons for so long and talked myself out of spending that much. I bought the 84 pack from Merriartist.  They had the best price of anyone so I broke down. I then ordered some additional single colors from Dick Blick so that now I have the whole set of 126.  I love them. I work with them as a wet medium as the norm.  So I can't use them on my sketch books. I did get my Pan Pastels and I have to tell you. Other than having to use a fixative I LOVE them. I mean they ROCK. I can use them on my basic sketchbooks as well because they are a dry medium. I also love the way that they spread across the paper and the blending. I have not layered them yet. I will try that when I come back from my trip but so far they are the best thing since sliced bread. I will use up my acrylic paints but I will more than likely not buy any more. I have enough to last me for years. : )

I am still on the fence with watercolors. Since I really like the new H2O's and have always liked my Koi's I will stay with them.  If nothing else to work on the pages that I just doodle on.

Still sketching faces. I really enjoy it. I will continue to do it. I have so much fun doing it. I think I am going to purchase the Dilly Beans Whimsical Girls on-line faces class.  It's $45. I have been putting it off and I just need to do it. I will most likely start some on my cruise. I just need to get some circle templates.  I found one but it was too small.  I will keep looking.

Until later
