I love rapidographs, for softer looks and colors I use a soft brown ink and for the softest looks, I use a number 2 pencil. (funny, isn't it- it is so simple) I love watercolor paper with a cotton feel and slight texture. Sometimes it looks dirty when reproduced. I try to compensate for that in photoshop when it is scanned. My dad was a watercolor artist and used to rip the paper to add clear clean white sparkles. Thanks for sharing, you have amazing talent. bkbecky kelly studiohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596158588910180001noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30623949.post-15996943711718469372013-02-08T08:42:51.297-06:002013-02-08T08:42:51.297-06:00Thank you everyone for such wonderful comments. I ...Thank you everyone for such wonderful comments. I am beaming with joy knowing that I shared something new and something helpful! <br /><br />Lissa, I couldn't agree more, that you yourself is the best tool. Thank you for sharing that, because I teach it so often in my classrooms. <br /><br />Tammie Lee, I think exploring or switching out your mediums from time to time is such a healthy thing! I got so wrapped up in being a watercolor purest I forgot that I was an illustrator! And in essence almost lost what kind of artist I am internally. I have some Derwent watercolor pencils that I haven't really dived into. Waiting for that special day when I'm up for that challenge!! ;) Watercolors are fun if you keep them fun, hope you enjoy all that you learn!<br /><br />Laura, thank you for your comment about being candid. We're told so often in business to be professional in how we speak, I'm the opposite. How I talk here is how I teach and talk with my clients. I really hope you do take some color theory and watercolor classes! Dig around and find some, or ask community schools if they know of any private tutors. Totally worth a few workshops!

I often look at art work and wonder what they have used to create it. Sometimes I can guess. Sometimes I am clueless! I love your work and your sense of color. I know I want my art work (which is mostly colored pencil) to be more vibrant and your post has really convinced me that I need a color theory class and a watercolor class would be nice.Laura Parkhursthttp://lauraparkhurstillustrator.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30623949.post-12884868570034957282013-02-05T14:26:37.956-06:002013-02-05T14:26:37.956-06:00you are so right, i love seeing and hearing about ...you are so right, i love seeing and hearing about what artists like to use. I loved reading your post. <br /><br />i enjoy most the things you have mentioned. Go through spurts with different materials. For a long time it was Derwent Inktense pencils or prismacolor pencils. Now i am learning a bit about watercolors.
