Embarking on some commissioned work, but first testing out my different watercolor materials--cheap watercolor paint, to better high quality watercolor paint, to watercolor pencils--and how it works with different pens I have; Plain & cheap, but my fave ball-point Bic pen, PITT artist pens, TUL pens, Alvin Tech-Liner pens, and good old black india ink w/brush & pen... Also played with some white and black gouache paint that Cathy gave to me. I may incorporate those paints into the illustrations somehow.



I think I may go for the watercolor pencils and pen and ink for this project. I purposely blurred some of the text I wrote with pen & ink in this image, because I don't want to share yet, who I am working on this project for. I had written the company's name down while playing with the pens.
