Thank you! Yeah for colour and variety, and even more of it for me I think.

I love your colours!! I only tried the greyscale pen brushes from Faber Castell, but your sketches look so amazing, it made me want to try working with the coloured ones!

I also only used the greyscale ones at first. My kids gave me the coloured ones as a birthday gift and I have to be honest - I didn’t know what to do with them for about a year and then I started experimenting with them and fell in love.

Thank you Teresa! I sometimes think that my colour choices are a bit on the wild side. Luckily I like it that way.

I love sketchbook tours! My neocolor 2 are probably my most used art supply. They give so many different textures and the colors are so vibrant.

Your sketchbook is lovely, I really enjoyed watching your sketchbook tour. The one drawing that you said you are thinking of painting it in a square, I would paint the entire drawing😊

Thank you for the video :)

I empathize completely with the challenge of sketching when hungry!

I use Pitt Artist Pen Brush for sketching as well and only just discovering Neocolor.

Yup, sadly sketching hungry takes a bit of the joy out of it for me. Especially when you know you still have an hour hike and another 20 minute bike ride waiting for you before you get to where the food is. Now I always carry a date and nut bar with me as backup.

Thank you, Martine! I get so excited by colour I don’t think I can do it any other way.

I loved this tour, thank you! I really enjoyed the variety of subjects and materials used, very inspiring. And I like the light yellow background behind the colorful tree, it gives a certain blurry aura to the sketch that I find interesting.
