New Markers!

While in Illinois, I visited a Dick Blick Outlet Store with my friend Connie and workshop hostess Darla.  Four hours later, I rolled out in a happy daze with a load of new art supplies.  One of the wonderful things I found there was a set of 96 Tombow markers for 1/4 of their list price.

People often ask me what is my favorite medium to use on coloring pages, and next to watercolors it is Tombow markers.  In fact, Tombows turn into a watercolor when you add water, so I often just outline the inside of a coloring space then wash with water to fill in the rest.  They are also super blendable, so you can easily mix colors.

The other great thing is that they have a fine point tip, and a brush tip so you can use them for tiny detail work, or for painting in areas.

What is your favorite marker?

    I am pea green with envy on getting to go to any art store…Dick Blick outlet well life doesn’t get much better than that. I have a very limited budget and so pick things that I can use more than one way. These markers sound wonderful. As to favorite markers, I am not sure as only have two types Distress and Faber-Castell Pitt Art markers (India Ink). I’d love to go to a class where they let you try all sorts then maybe I find something I feel as passionately about as you sound to feel about your Tombow.
