On my recent trip to the beach I forgot one of my favorite art supplies… a white and a hot pink Sharpie paint pen. However sometimes not having your favorite supply can be a good thing. It pushed me to try new things. Instead of using the Sharpie pen for the whites of the eyes, I tried a turquoise blue water-soluble oil pastel and found... Continue reading
