I’m drawing more so I ordered a set of watercolor pencils, water brushes to use with watercolors, acrylic markers, and some watercolor paper.<\/p>\n

I figure the price of art supplies is going to go even more higher than they already are now.<\/p>\n

Like, I’m never going to have a set of Caran D’Ache in my life. Not until this bonus tax gets reversed.<\/p>\n

I didn’t really want to order a new set of acrylic markers because I received a set for review. But they disappeared somewhere (suspicious look) before I could really use them. So I ordered this new set so-as to complete my review.<\/p>\n

I wanted acrylic markers. Don’t get me wrong. But I feel locked in on this brand because I owe them a review for the set they already sent me.<\/p>\n

I don’t do reviews unless I use the product. So without the product I couldn’t in good conscience give them a review.<\/p>\n

Anyways, I’ve got acrylic markers coming and I’m very excited.<\/p>\n

I can do watercolor paintings and go over them with acrylic to add details. I can write on glass and ceramic and decorate the covers of my coloring books. There’s so many things you can do with a set of acrylic markers. You can even draw on rocks.<\/p>\n

But what I’m really looking forward to are the watercolor pencils. I hope I don’t suck at them.<\/p>\n
