Favourite Mediums in my Moleskine.

Over the years I've tried out all kinds of mediums and I don't think I've ever settled on just one or two absolute favourites but I have a feeling people who have seen my sketchbook pages over the past year might think differently? Anyway, the top picture you see here is an acrylic background with a stamped pattern and the drawing done in Posca pens.

Here below are a few of my most recent paintings that I do on a daily basis in my little A5 Moleskine sketchbook.

Let's see what my current fave mediums are.

This one has a background of FW inks with Posca pens on top. The white flowers and the bird were done with a Liquitex paint marker. 

You can't see the lovely shininess from the photo, but these are my Spectrum Noir brushpens. They are lovely and glittery. I also used some cobalt blue watercolour because I don't have many of the Sparkle pens and I felt the picture needed an extra colour.

Here's another Sparkle pen painting, the only other addition is the bottom left where I glued a torn piece of birthday wrapping paper, and painted on top of it.

More Sparkle pen painting! with some purple watercolour.

This one is mainly watercolour with a small amount of coloured pencil.

Still using the coloured pencils, this was done on a background of purple acrylic with patterned tissue paper glued on. The dried paper had a nice 'tooth' to it, perfect for coloured pencils.

For this one I used my Faber Castell Pitt pens, I've had them for ages and almost forgot I had them! It was nice to have a complete change from the watery paint and to make some strong opaque marks on the paper.

And finally,

After using my almost forgotten Pitt pens I thought I'd get out something else that I hadn't used for ages, my Inktense pencils.

So I'm still not sure if I have a favourite medium, I like to use all kinds of pens and paint but one thing is for sure. They have to be beautiful colours, oh yes.

See you next time! xx
