I'm so rigid with regard to art that I'd never even see the possibilities you must see when you order with which you plan to work. I so admire your sense of adventure.<br /><br />Peace.Deehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00612299013780771262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-15059023095470214752012-06-16T22:36:29.706-05:002012-06-16T22:36:29.706-05:00haha! i'm enjoying reading your blog! i came b...haha! i'm enjoying reading your blog! i came back up to this post to leave you a comment that i was here :) i love my moleskines, but you are right, they bleed through very easily. i like the watercolor one best - i just keep a heat gun handy to dry anything wet - quickly - before it warps. just got a couple new books in the mail today :)<br /><br />sounds like your weather is being about like ours has been for the past 4 weeks - rain, rain, and more rain! ugh! stay dry - and hopefuly moth-free :)Alicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04549767399322024293noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-32397956790121256662012-06-16T16:43:58.182-05:002012-06-16T16:43:58.182-05:00Moleskins are not my friend and no they don't ...Moleskins are not my friend and no they don't like fountain pens.... derwent put out much better sketchbooks and notebooks, and they are watercolour and pen perfect I think... love the drawing of the teacup though!!!! <br />you knew I would didn't you, and you are brave entering acrylics world...

So...Those sneaky moths! (dead moths tell no tales)<br /><br />Sounds like you're learning as you go with the acrylics. Looks like you're having some fun with them.<br /><br />Nice blue sky/white puffy clouds pictures. I guess we can put up with the grey skies once in awhile, as long as the blue ones come around again. :) The sun is shining outside my door this morning. Beautiful late spring day.<br /><br />Time for me to finish getting ready for work. Have a great weekend!AliceKayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12027650364526343030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-60728585328959872182012-06-15T21:51:53.600-05:002012-06-15T21:51:53.600-05:00It's like anything new, you have to give it so...It's like anything new, you have to give it some time and relax. A couple months ago I had never used gesso before and now I'm loving the stuff! Just keep it up and then see how you feel in 3 months, would love to see what you think of them then!

I'm starting acrylics, taking Dion Dior's course in silks, kinda trepidatious about it.

LOL. Actually the drawing is very good.<br /><br />I too do not like Moleskins and the price of them does not make sense to me! I will just get a nice sketch pad for the same price, but I never draw on the backs of pages...unless it's just little designs, and very thick paper. Just one of my hangups. lol.<br /><br />Oh my goodness to hear how you have to clean everything as you go, I am so not the clean artist. I get so mad at myself for leaving paint on something....like my palette knife, I'm so bad about leaving paint on it! But with oils and usually acrylics you can often just peel it off. Thank goodness. I remember when i was in college, I don't think I owned a piece of clothing that didn't have paint on them. the last time I was painting, a few weeks ago, I had blue on my hand for a day or so. Finally I used Lava soap and got it off. But I don't care if I have paint on my clothes, or on me...I kind of like it.<br />But I do wish my studio was self cleaning. I need to get in there and put things away, and get more organized and get rid of a lot!<br /><br />You have a lot of supplies!<br />I saw you got paper making supplies. I love making paper, but I usually use recycled stuff to make the paper out of. Shredded paper from offices, shredded cotton (jeans are great!)...it's fun. I made a friend's wedding invitations once...over 100, had to make a special size mold and deckle...that was a challenge, but I got them all done! And they were beautiful.<br /><br />You are such an inspiration by how much you get done. I'm envious lately.<br />wAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-29503764.post-34196767858954799082012-06-15T14:43:00.102-05:002012-06-15T14:43:00.102-05:00I've never heard you have to get messy to be a...I've never heard you have to get messy to be an artist.
