It is so fun to find hidden little places to paint inside Glenwood Antique Mall! This wonderful booth is full of sweet tiny clothes, dishes and blankets, and that beautiful cabinet begged to be painted! In ink and watercolor, I sketch out this interior, and come back in with a few fountain pens loaded with colored ink. I love the memories such things bring back to me - days of baby kisses and hugs! Painting number 3661 in 3661 days and day 13 of the #stradaeasel challenge.
What fun to explore a "new" antique mall with artist friends today! My first time to the Glenwood Antique Mall, I was enchanted down every isle! So many painting possibilities! After scouting (and shopping) for far too long, I finally came back to the first scene that caught my eye! I inked first, and then added watercolor, and then I tried something relatively to my method - I went in with a few colored inks in fountain pens. I try to match the ink color to the color of pen, and I carry a few primaries for extra "pop" in my work. I like the depth! All in TWSBIS, one was newish - the gem one pictured. It is a new, very economical style - and it had actually dried up s bit when i tried to use it. This is something I NEVER experience with TWSBIS, so I am certainly disappointed. I don't much care for the hands feel when using it, nor do I like the super tight clip. It comes in a few cool colors, but I will not order this style again, and I might even give this one away to one of my children. I don't have time for tools that aren't perfect! Painting number 3658 in 3658 days, and day 10 of the current #stradaeasel challenge.
