Yesterday a big parcel of pretty art supplies arrived. I have been waiting on these babies, watching the tracking, and couldn't wait till they arrived.
Of course they turned up just when I was heading out the door for a few hours, isn't that always the way???
I placed then on the table unopened and headed out the door. I even fed the kids dinner before I opened them. It took a whole heap of restraint.
Finally the kids were fed, washed and into their Jammies. With glass of wine in hand I opened the box.
Oh my!! what pretty colours. Inside were pan pastels, inktense blocks and gelatos. All supplies I had never used before. So much fun!
Time to play in my art journal!! I started with the pan pastels and I was not disappointed with the richness of colour, the ability to layer and how easy they were to use.
I simply added some india ink and that was it. Such a fun night learning new things!
Can't wait to open the rest of the supplies now.

Hi Lisa! I am new to your blog. I found you via a piece of your art that was on Pinterest.
I really like your style and I am looking forward to checking out more of your work.
I can COMPLETELY relate to this post! I cannot stand to wait for new supplies to come in the mail :-) New art goodies are the best!
