I use many different pens. They ...Irene, thank you.<br />I use many different pens. They include Pitt and Farber in varying sizes from very fine XS or .01-08 which is thicker. I not long ago started using LAMY fountain pens in fine and medium nibs. I've also used ball point pens in a pinch. I like pens with waterproof ink. But it's also fun to add watercolor to Lamy ink and see how it runs. As it did on my Israeli soldier painting. I use Winsor and Newton watercolor pan paints, but I've also used very cheap student paint sets. Sometimes I use Tom Bow marker pens that mix well with water, and I've used Crayola crayons made for children. My art "journals" vary too. I like spiral bound ones as they open flat. I've used another style I got at Michaels that closes with a magnet and comes with a paint brush. I have filled many if them. I've used paper from 90-140 lb. I hope this information helps. <br />I did what you are doing, I looked to see what others were using and then just started using whatever I could find out there. I wrote about my first year of drawing in public in my book "One fish Taco and Half an Order of Guacomole A Year of Drawing Over Lunch at Tacos Jaliso." You can get a look at it from the link on my sidebar. <br /><br />As a relatively new artist myself it warms my heart to hear I've inspired someone else to start sketching.Lynn Cohenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12094038275377357886noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3069433582032233420.post-28719964507183467592014-01-03T11:57:51.306-08:002014-01-03T11:57:51.306-08:00I absolutely love your review.

Also I would like to know what media you use for your colors. I love this creative journey and people like you who introduce me to new experiments. I look forward to more creative sharing in the new year. I read your next posting and am so sorry for your loss. Longtime friends are irreplaceable.

And I think those pages where you've divided the page into six small blocks are all fascinating. Oh! And the Israeli soldier--love love love how you used a black pen that bled just a little, and used so much water--it's like the paint echoed the emotion behind the subject...
