the hoard

I am not embarrassed to admit that I buy a lot of art supplies -- and some I have never used or used once and get frustrated with them and never to be used again.

This week I was pawing through my pen drawer and discovered a Pentel Color Brush that I bought some years back. I remember opening it and being immediately disappointed with it.

But, for whatever reason I decided to give it another try.

And this is what happened. I like the way it turned out. As with everything new and different, it takes a fresh perspective or giving it a few more minutes to see how it works. Or setting it aside for a few years to grow as an  artist and give it another shot.

I really like the results so far.

With anything, it takes practice. So, I've decided to fill a little notebook with 10 minute sketches to get better with using it.

Thanks for dropping by, have a great weekend!
