Hi guys, Well another art assignment has started but the best part of this assignment is I get to wire it, which I have done. As I need to experiment with different media I went shopping today, I was meant to buy just a sketchbook, as I have basic watercolour, acrylic and so on, but I ended up with this below:
Bob Ross Brush cleaning screen.
25 piece sponge brushes.
Winsor & Newton pencil set 12 different shades.
Daler-rowney watercolour paints.
Daler-rowney watercolour paper.
Winsor & Newton Sansodor.
Winsor & Newton Liquin.
Oh and a Winsor & Newton A3 sketchbook.
I done this last time I went to PC World to buy Windows 7 software and came out with a £800 MacBook!
:-p So that just robbed me near £50, but its money well spent! The best thing I have got is the Bob Ross brush clearer. It is basically a tray with lots of holes that you wipe you brush across to clean them, what’s the point of this you ask? Well when you clean your brushes with turpentine in a container and leave it a day or two the pigment drops to the bottom of the container and when you come to clean again your disturbing it or even washing your brushes in paint, as the tray sits approx 1 and the half inch from the bottom you can clean for brushes even longer with the same cleaner, also you have something to rub on to clean them even better.
I am also trying out watercolour paints and I didn’t realize how much they cost as I always buy oils, the set I got only cost me £6.99, but some cost over £40 the watercolour paper was the dearest out the lot at £9.95!
Well all what’s left to do is PAINT! WooHoo! :-D
