No, on to my art journal.
What I learnt while using my new Talens watercolours?
That the best tools are essential. By this I mean, the brush I got together with the set of paints. I have a mug full of brushes bought on a supermarket sale, and they are okay. But they loose their hair (which can be an interesting feature while creating the backgrounds, but still...), behave unpredictable and often leave the lines where I wanted a clean page. It may be fine, it may add to the artistic flavour of the page, but more often it is annoying, because it spoils the effect I wanted to achieve. I would even risk a statement that for an inexperienced painter like myself the more professional brush - the better, because it could help my untrained hand to paint what I envisioned in my head.
The Talens brush is perfect - smooth, wide but with a tip that can lead a precise 0,5 mm line, it's a pleasure to work with. And I'm not saying that I'm suddenly buying a whole set of highly professional, expensive brushes, but next time I'm buying some art supplies, a brush or two are definitely on my list!
Here I played with letters.
Talens watercolours at work plus crayons - it's all about the stork, and how it could become the symbol of Poland (just as the moose is in Sweden, for example, you can see it everywhere!). I scanned it beyond the side of the page because I wanted to show you what I stapled onto it, just to be able to quickly find the next page.

I would like to walk along this street.
stunning journal pages, but why does the word pierogi keep jumping out at me in every picture?? Maybe its saying time to make some krissie? i love them, but making them is a drag!
zupa...yummy..smacznego, and keep drawing and showing us here...you are great!
love the very cool lettering - I always admire lettering on a page!
Huni-ji looks like you begin to develop your own style in painting. Your works are more and more distinctive every day. They always were but now one can spot a collection of caracteristical elements. Cool!
Again with the great artwork. I really like your drawings of your people :) They have such character.
