Hello, my friend! Welcome to class.
In this class, I am going to be working some more with my Gansai Tambi Graphite Pans, and some of the graphite watercolors I made (You can check out making some graphite watercolors yourself in my graphite watercolor class)… these work like watercolors - and they offer deep, tranquil colors with a rich matte texture and a graphite finish.
I'm a bit obsessed with these graphite watercolors and wanted to play and have some fun at my art table, so in this class, I am revisiting some of my favorite projects and doing them with some new supplies. I'll also show you some fun bookmarks I made with a delightful surprise on the back. I know you'll have fun with these projects.
This class is for you if:
You love learning new techniques for your art
You are interested in checking out some new art products to create your abstracts with
You love watching how others approach their art practice
You love experimenting with your art supplies
Supplies:
These are the supplies I'll be using in class… definitely get creative and experiment if you have some other supplies or ideas that come to you as you go through the class. I'll have a few fun products to show you with some of the projects - but they are optional - I just like showing you some fun things you might like to try out.
Canson XL 140lb cold press watercolor paper
Kuretake Gansai Tambi Graphite Pans - or some graphite watercolors you made, or substitute any art supplies you'd like to play in today (You can also make some of your own graphite watercolors in my graphite watercolor class)
Kuretake Gold Mica Ink - or any mark-making you'd like to substitute like posca pens
Dip pen for the ink (I'm using a Kakimori Brass Nib for my dip pen - that is optional and you can use any dip pen to get similar effects. Or a brush if you wish. I just thought it was a really cool nib and I love using it for all the extra ink it carries)
Watercolor brush - I'm using the Raphael soft aqua brush in size 0 for most of the class today
