Today I‘m exploring some new travel paints from Meeden, in a format you might not have seen before, PLUS some silky smooth but wonderfully responsive watercolor paper from Paul Rubens. Use your granulating paints to create a soft background and then take a line for a walk with me and create some leaves and flowers to lift your mood while I ramble on for a while on subjects close to my heart!

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/product.html
