I finally got the brush pen sample from Jetpen out today and tried them. It is easier with the form/hard pen than the brush pen as a beginner. However if I want to play with colors, I think I need to practice with the paint brushes. And I found I like the smaller ones, even the 00 size brush. And using a cheap set of water color from Michaels is more than sufficient for the purpose.
This is one of the things I am “playing” with since I took a break from ballroom dancing. I am reading more, journaling more, playing with colors and knitting more. Things I put aside when my focus was on dancing and taking 4-5 lessons a week. I was usually exhausted after the lessons and called it the day when I got home. Now I have a lot more time since I’m not spending 90 minutes commuting to and from the studio, plus time working on the computer after the lessons. I feel free and creative and turned my attention to more spiritual matters too. I don’t know where this will lead me, but I am ready.
