New helpers came to my aid. I've been dreaming about some of them for years. Some of them I learned quite recently.
I've been dreaming about capillary pens for several years. Fineliners. I've seen them in the works of many artists. But when I was faced with the choice to buy them or not, I always refused. Perhaps I will be frank if I say that I did not buy all my brand-new tools because they were expensive for me. Actually, for this reason, I did not buy them for several years. And also, the idea that I do not draw in the technique where you need to use them... Here I see an obvious analogy with the parable of the stick and its ends.
A little more about fineliners. This year the company has a big anniversary. 100 years. And they released in honor of such an event: Sakura "Pigma Micron Gold Limited Edition". This unique design won me over.
I also want to try a new watercolour. I really like many products that are produced in South Korea. Now I'll try some watercolors. I like the pigments they use. In general, Korean watercolor is famous for its bright, transparent and juicy color. I can't wait))
In general, my mood is on the brush. I want to use synthetic brushes. But if I can't find any analogues, I have to take natural ones. To be honest, I think that in the coming years, manufacturers will create analogues. I believe and wait)) Of all the brushes in this photo, there are only five natural ones. To be honest, it seems obvious to me, but I don't know....
This is the biggest brush I've ever picked up. And the first one in my possession. I saw it a couple of years ago, and I thought it was very beautiful. But then, I didn't know what to do with it. Speed is often what watercolors require of you. And a large brush with a large supply of water is a source of calmness and partly success.
The smallest brush. Very maneuverable. Docile and holds water. I have another small brush, but it holds water strangely: sometimes the water hangs in a drop, and if not, it is dry... Finally, there was an alternative.
The longest liner. I took it for landscapes with branches, grass.
A thin eraser. I had such an eraser only without the body. Very convenient, I always use it.
Actually, I don't like markers. I don't like the feel of felt on paper. But these spiky beauties...
