Friday I received my order from Galen Leather. Allow me to share the care and pride that went into their products and the packing of them. Such wonderful quality!

I have a taller leather notebook from a different company, which is what the second set of inserts fit into. In hindsight, even though it is nice, I wish I’d have ordered the taller one from Galen. It seems they have a better quality product, but I’ll know better once I put each brand to use!

Some new inks and new pens, I’m excited to see how they perform on paper! A special thank you to my new friend I met in Muncy who told me about DeAtramentis ink. 😊

The bees are buzzing! 🐝 Two slightly different techniques and two slightly different but similar results. Gouache on Arches cold press.

Thanks to everyone who weighed in on the shading. I ended up shading each honeycomb cell 😵‍💫 and putting some shading under the bees.

Ok, art fans, please help me decide: leave these little bee paintings as is, or add some shadowing to the bees?

Sanderlings, one of the most entertaining birds to watch as they scurry in and out with the waves as they find tasty treats! These cuties were created with gouache, ink, and Posca pen on Arches cold press paper.
