I love to draw in my sketchbook and for about 4 months now it became a daily habit for me. Of course I don’t share all my pages, but here are some that I made to be kind of prepared for our summer holidays in Croatia. I am working in mixed media with Markers, Pastels, Gouache, Colored Pencils and Crayons. You will find my favourite Art Supplies here.

Review on the Paul Rubens GUCAI Watercolors
In today’s video I have a closer look on the Paul Rubens GUCAI Watercolors. These are metallic watercolors. They are great for handlettering, mixed media projects, cardmaking and to add beautiful accents to your watercolor paintings. Some colors are more opaque than others, some are interference and some have a more glittery granulating effect.
