Ce que j'ai fait pendant mes vacances

Usually when we go away I pack far too much art stuff and hardly use any of it. This time I still packed far too much but in amongst it was a pack of Inktense watersoluable crayons. Normally watercolour and I do not get on. I know the theory but in practice....  However I am hooked on these crayons. I can put down loose blocks of colour and a  limited palette of 12 stops me being too fussy. They even tempted me into trying pure watercolour paint again. It's all sketchbook work and none of it is a masterpiece but I came back feeling like I have a proper record of the place. Not only that but I think my traveling kit will now fit in a small bag in future.

I started to scan a couple of the drawings ready for this post but got carried away and they've turned into a zine. If anyone out there would like a copy send me your snail mail and I'll put one in the post.

    1. Glad you like it. I've never made one before so I wasn't sure if it worked or not
