Day 65 and 66 #the100dayproject #zentangleallaround #hahnemühle

 Yesterday I blogged about the colors I used to make this piece of art. 

I used Schmincke and Da Vinci watercolors. 

Schmincke has for a long time been my favorite brand. 

Da Vinci is pretty amazing, too!

Here is the piece I showed you yesterday.

I literally sat down with a water brush full of water,

some sample dots of color from the new Schmincke limited edition set, 

and a couple half pans of Da Vinci watercolor.

I swiped colors back and forth and blended some edges.

I left some edges rough and let the water 

just seep out onto the edges of the paper.

 That would bring us up to day 65 of

The 100 Day Project!

I used a Zebra Sarasa Fineliner and two of

the Sarasa Technical Pens to add some tangles. 

I really love how it turned out!

For day 66, I used some basic dime store colored pencils 

to add some highlights and shade to a few locations. 

Love it so much more now.

If you kind of squint and look at it through your eyelids,

it looks like a little smiling monster guy with a long beard.

It's awesome!

Hahahahaha!

I am working in a Bamboo Mixed Media book

from Hahnemühle. 

Review to be coming very soon. 

Day 64 #the100dayproject #zentangleallaround #hahnemühle

For day #64 of

The 100 Day Project

I got to play with some new toys.

I started with a spiral pad of

Bamboo Mixed Media paper from Hahnemühle.

I purchased mine from Amazon.

My friend Jennifer McLean recently had the 

honor of choosing the colors for 

Wet Paint's new Schmincke's custom palette. 

Jennifer was able to send me some dots of

the colors to try out for myself.

(I have already ordered my full set of colors

in a wonderfully beautiful tin!)

So, while watching reruns of Marvel Agents of SHIELD 

a couple nights ago, I used a water brush 

and just started swooshing some color 

around a page in my Bamboo spiral book.

That bright pink is Opera Rose,

the pretty blue is cobalt turquoise.

That next shade of blue is helio cerulean. 

I even added some French ultramarine.

Jennifer also sent me some samples of

Da Vinci watercolors - I added some

quinacridone rose and permanent magenta.

I left this page sitting out overnight to

dry and this is the result.

I love it!

These colors are so yummy and 

look so incredible together.

And the Bamboo page handled all the water 

I used with no problem at all.

I tend to be a little heavy handed with the water,

even when using a water filled brush. 

Love my day 64 so much!

Now I am adding tangles and hope to show

you that tomorrow for day 65.
