I'm getting more and more glad I switched to watercolors. :)<br/><br/>Tamara - I haven't used the Arches blocks yet... but I think it's only because I feel unreasonably like I am spending less money to just buy a couple big sheets at a time than to splurge on a block. But I think it IS more cost effective so I might try getting some at dickblick. ;) You're right, it's so expensive offline!<br/><br/>I have dip pens and Microns, but I found that my dip pens snag on the tooth of the watercolor paper so felt pens are just much easier. But when doing b/w work where I want expressive line drawings, I use dip pens. :) Anna – Thanks! I’m getting more and more glad I switched to watercolors. :)

Your Photoshopping made that piece look amazing and totally in line with your usual watercolors, good job! I too use Arches cold-press paper, in the blocks (do you use those?). I try to always get them online because they're so expensive. :(<br/><br/>Do you find that Microns work better than dip pens? This was so cool to see!

I really like how the salt resist came out on the T-rex. :) As much as I like the original and your colored pencil technique, I think I like the watercolor version better!
