And art supplies. Lots of art supplies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So much so for the low buy huh. I just ordered a bunch of rosemary and co brushes this morning, and because there were sales, I bought more beam paints and more blue pine arts paints like\u2026 last week or something? Yeah\u2026 Bad me.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And erm. Arrtx simptap markers arrived last night and I had some fun playing with them. They seem a bit more dry and less wet than I\u2019d have preferred\u2026 And being brush nibs perhaps? They performed really poorly on the Khadi fatbook, which has become my favourite sketchbook now. Not for acrylic paint markers I guess. The nerdforge hot press sketchbook is great for that.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which brings me to the main reason for updating the blog. My sketchbook usage! Started the khadi fatbook just this year and I\u2019ve already gone through more than half of it! Similarly I\u2019m past the halfway mark in the Nerdforge sketchbook, although that was started like mid last year? But I wanted to finish at least one, hopefully two sketchbooks this year, and more specifically I had these two sketchbooks in mind when I wrote my New Year\u2019s resolutions, so I\u2019m glad that it\u2019s been going well. Definitely going to finish up this first Khadi fatbook and then I can break into the new one! I bought a whole set of three nerdforge sketchbooks as well, and on top of that I bought two of the same green covered sketchbook first, so that means I have nerdforge sketchbooks aplenty to use\u2026! <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Alright. I guess I\u2019ll end off here, because I want to do another \u201cblind\u201d solve maybe (see my other blog<\/a>!), and then shower, and do some art! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
