Coloured Doodle

I have got a nice little sketchbook which I actually haven't used much. It is very small (DIN A 6, about the size of a postcard). Here I just tried to doodle and colourize the doodle with my stabilo pens. As the stabilo pens have the same vivid colours as acrylic paintmarkers have those colour combinations can be easily transferred onto the paintmarkers. I must admit, that I don't like every colour combination in the doodle above; but there are some which I like and would like to repeat with paintmarkers: the turquoise blue and the blue and the violet and the dark blue for example. But as it is just now it looks like I have to fill up my range of paintmarkers - I do not have turquoise and violet acrylic markers (yet!)...

 

Stylized Swan

I simply wanted to have a break with my digital painting, so I decided to do a quick coloured doodle. I began with some curved lines and ended with the stylized version of a swan. I used my PITT Artist Brush pens for colouring, and some staedtler pigment liners for the lines. 
 

What to do with leftover acrylic paint

When painting with acrylics often there is some paint left over. When it has dried you cannot use it anymore - here I show you how you can use your leftover paint and have fun. All you need are a spare piece of surface (I used watercolour paper) and some Acrylic paint markers.
