Art supply haul

Since semester 2 is on the near horizon, it only makes sense that I'm suddenly filled with the need to sketch, paint and colour just about everything. To be fair, since I've started my most recent art class, I've discovered that I like mixed media like crazy. Even my housemates have been pretty impressed. Most of all though, I find it's just wicked fun and really freeing(?).

This all basically prompted some new art supply acquisition....

Dylusions Ink Spray  by Ranger

The description by Ranger says:
Dylusions Ink Spray dyes are a high quality, acid-free, non-toxic concentrated colorant for porous surfaces.

Also they're water-reactive, which is why I chose these inks to play with; you can create some really cool effects in terms of backgrounds and washes.

Water based paint marker by Sharpie

I haven't played with this one much yet, but the paint is water based, and is supposed to mark effectively on virtually any surface (bit sick of gel pens clogging and causing fuss).

and Sumi Ink

(Which I have paired with some aqua brushes, which gives this really cool Japanese calligraphy type effect)

Also yet to play with more extensively, but the shop where I ordered it from sent me extra, (in the glass bottle) and the 60ml pot cost me about $22 by itself, so it was pretty cool~

So it wasn't exactly a massive haul or anything, but art stuff gets pricey pretty quick so baby steps and such~
