My Creative Space Thursday


This is my creative space at the moment. I gave myself permission to purchase a new set of pencils. I have a tin of Derwent's from childhood...but I really wanted Prismacolor's. I was buying them one by one, but heard there was a special on at "Riot Art Store" I drove for an hour to get to the shop, but it was well worth it! They come unsharpened, so I have been sharpening 120 pencils over 2 days, then drawing a little shape with each colour to test it out. Its all done now.
Lets see your creative space! Play along here at Kirsty's Kootoyoo.

Love the pencils, love the space and LOVE the testing page, it's a real art piece in itself and I hope you will do more on it.

I love getting new art supplies.

I have had coloured pencils for years now but I'm never game enough to try them.

Your test page actually looks really cool :)

Lovely space :) And your test page looks like an artwork itself! I love colored pencils and some month ago I bought myself something around 20 of them and now I use them a lot! Great medium!

I've wanted to do the same with a new set of watercolors. But haven't yet. Maybe I will now that I see how much fun it looks!

Oh man I loved Derwents when I was little and do you think I had any?! I had to wait til I was an adult to buy some - my kids just like textas. They don't know what they're missing out on!
