new colors...

'and the new autumn fashion colors are...'

I bought some beautiful new pens. The brushpens from Faber-Castell have ink in them based on Indian ink. That way the ink is waterproof after drying, but more importantly the colors are supposed to be more intense and lightproof. Since I use my scanner a lot, there is always the problem of losing a lot of detail and colorintensity in the proces of scanning. I hoped that with these pens that would be better.

And it is better, definitely! So that problem is solved.

Something else turned up. I bought a big, VERY BIG box. I just sold a painting so why not spend the money on new artsupplies? In the box there were a lot of colors that I hardly ever use, being the somewhat more timid colors and the darker ones. I started working with them and I happen to love them. That is quite a suprise, since I tend to work with the more flashing colors of the spectrum. So now I'm experimenting with all these deep greens, pale oranges, skin pinks and browns. I love the process!

So a new box of brushpens brought me a lot more than just a better quality of the ink.
