Re: 3) Y'all make me want to take out the brushes and colo(u)rs and get started on something today!

my favorite medium, bar none, is water soluable pencils..

they are a fortune, but worth every penny.

they look like regular colored pencils, and draw like colored pencils.. ( which are a much easier medium than either crayons or paint)
but then, you take a paint brush, and when you wet the pencil marks, they melt into a water color paint on the spot! a light going over page with the pencil, and a wet brush, you have a wash more pigment, less water, more control.. and you don't have to wet all the pigment, and you can go over it again, to add stuff.. (so a red scalloped circle becomes a fluid red, which can be reworked, again.. wet or dri.

barely damp brushes, gently blur colors. and the pencils make it easy to blend. you can get increadible water color effects.. with very little skill! (don't go in an art store for 24 hours now, or you'll look at them, and try them, and then, you'll buy them!
