New art supplies

Last Thursday my Utah State Fair friends and I went to SLC to go to antique stores and consignment shops,etc. And Lunch of course (Greek Food). While at the Children's Corner bookstore we ran into a Studio 5 TV crew who took pictures of our feet and then asked us each who's shoes we would like to walk in for a day. Fresh from buying art supplies I said something like "in the shoes of a fearless artist who isn't intimidated." Stacee who had just been talking about going to a yarn and spinning shop said something like "A pioneer woman because I would be good at all that self reliant stuff." Deb had an actual person-Alice Waters and Annette had the best answer because she said she likes her own shoes as a Mom and Grandma. Well maybe they will edit us out or maybe we will be totally embarrassed on Oct. 3 at 11AM on Studio 5.

Anyway I got some Towbow markers and PanPastels and here are some quick sketches of  what they do.

A Tombow is like a water color marker -do a line drawing and then with a wet paint brush make the color bleed.

This is what they look like; I should have gotten a green and blue and less of the same color family.
Pastel colors would probably work well too.

Here is a funny little bug girl done with PanPastels and a ball point pen.
Like playing with make-up!

Bug girl again - the back one is a pastel background with permanent marker for the black outline
and Tombow marker for the red flower. Fun stuff to play with!
