Exploring Nyoni Pastel Pencils from Lightwish and painting Watercolor Chickens for Etsy Bookmarks

Today I have three instantly helpful and completely doable ideas for getting over the barriers we all face when we want to paint. I’m warming up by playing with a new set of Nyoni pastel pencils, which make a very interesting change from watercolor, and then I get my faithful Kuretake Gansai Tambi set out to paint - you guessed it - chickens!

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...
