Hello, every one, I am back from my trip to SoCal. We had a great time. It is so beautiful there. Every time I come back I always think about relocating. the weather is nice, the surroundings, the people, the views, the flowers. Just and all round great place to live. Plus, my sis lives there and that is always a wonderful time.
I took many pictures for painting and others. Sat by the ocean and watched the waves and people and scenery. Can't say enough about it ,but I will.
I want to share a few pics below and also want to talk about a new travel paint set that I got while I was in CA.
Some of you water colorists might like it also.
Below are 2 photos I took, the top one is a small water color I did with the new set of a travel watercolor set I got on my trip to CA. The watercolors are called Koi and they are made in China. As you can see they are a very good set of paints. The set comes with 24 colors, a wide range for a travel set. It also comes with a very interesting brush and one I never used before. The brush can be filled with water, so you really do not need to have a container of water with you, but it helps. After you fill it with water you squeeze it and water flows down to the tip, then you just work your paint as you would with any other watercolor brush. The colors are very bright and brilliant and they give you a lot of space for pallet mixing. I would highly recommend them, if you like this sort of thing. They are a little pricey but I used a coupon at Hobby Lobby and got them for about 21.00. My new toy, I felt like a kid with one any way. A little treat for me. lol! They did not pay me to say this, I like to give my opinion on supplies that are available for artists. I also want to give advice and help, if others out there need any. Signing off until next time, have a blessed day. A
