Bookmarks, a landscape and playing with new paints! Join me in the studio for a couple of hours of relaxing painting, as we explore together some new ideas. Let's take a look at the Finetec Coliro PearlColors and see what they can do on PaintOn black watercolor paper. Then we'll work on a snowy landscape with whimsical animals, and practise painting houses. And finally we will dash off three beautiful, seasonal bookmarks which would make ideal last-minute gifts or cards.

About my brushes
I buy my favorite brushes from Drawell. 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/product.html
