Such fun to find and buy juicy art supplies like these. Where do you find them? The art and craft shops here don't have anything like these goodies.

I've got some student grade water colour recently, too. And I'm going to play that with acrylic and see how that work.

I've been using the crayola kids watercolors lately too. The colors are so rich!!

Love this post..white Gesso is one of my favorite artistic HAVE to have items..I only use old school watercolor and have a few tubes of just favorite colors for more vibrancy but that is all..not sure where you found the fine tipped pastels but that would certainly make me want to use them more often..I've tried to sharpen mine but its rather messy and doesn't last long LOL Besides that I got a rather expensive set o I feel like I'm wasting them to sharpen them..Beautiful images and inspiring Juliette!
p.s.I once gave myself a challenge to go into my kitchen / utility room and seek objects to paint with that would give me nice textures..it was amazing what I found..exploring is fun is it not?!

Lovely post, great to see your new art stash. I have just ordered a whole heap of art supplies. New brand of drawing paper, coloured pencils and spray paints.
I bet ;iquid watercolours give such juicy results

I'm having fun with clear gesso mixed with a bit of liquid acrylic to make a gesso wash. I rub it off in places too… so you can see the old music, dictionary or literature pages underneath!

I love new supplies! I've recently been having fun getting to know some of Golden's paints & pastes.
