I bought these new acrylic paint pens just to see what they were like. I did these rainbows over a lake to test the effects of acrylic and watercolour paint pens. The drawing below is an acrylic paint pen rainbow. The one after is a watercolour brush pen rainbow. I love the brush pen effect of the manuscript brush pens. They are easily blendable too.

We are heading into the first long holiday weekend of the summer, enjoy! It is the Victoria Day weekend.
This is a painting I did of my sister's departed cat that she lost last year. Linking to Nicole's Friday Face Off.
Also linking to Gillena's Art for Fun Friday.
We are on Grand Manan Island in New Brunswick right now and can only hope that the May long weekend doesn't bring in hordes of people. Maybe we'll have a rainbow though!

I love getting new art supplies! So much fun to play around with them. :)
ReplyDeleteI loved seeing your art today, love both rainbows, and I really like the kitty too enjoy your holiday
ReplyDeleteNice work, Christine!
ReplyDeleteI mostly use my acrylic paint pens for highlights or blocking in colours in my sketchbooks. I have acrylic paints for my canvas work. I can't choose a favourite between the two paintings you did because I like something about each. With the watercolour version, there is a feeling of more depth that I like but I love the vibrancy of the rainbow in the acrylic version.
Love the cat painting! So sorry for your sister's loss. x
I feel like both paintings have wonderful stories to share. So thoughtful of you to paint your sister's kitty. She is lovely. Have a great weekend!

I love art experiments when you're looking for what you like and don't like about the products. This was a great way!
ReplyDeleteMe gusto el arco iris, Te mando un beso.
ReplyDeletedelightful rainbow dear Christine ,loved it

Your cat drawing is beautiful Christine and I love those rainbows! ☺ I have a white acrylic pen and I love it, they get blocked easily sometimes though, maybe it's the brand I use!
ReplyDeleteTwo lovely pieces of art with different mediums. Interesting; I like your take with both. MEOW-have a great weekend.
ReplyDeleteYour artwork is always so lovely, Christine! (This is the fifth time I'm trying to comment on your blog. I don't know what's going on with blogger! I hope this one goes through)
ReplyDeletethanks Martha, I got this one!

ReplyDeleteBoth of these pen sets are wonderful. My favorite are the acrylic paint pens because they are so vibrant.
ReplyDeleteI'm a cat person and I love how you drew your sister's dearly departed cat. It's a beauty.
these are cute and I have watercolor brush pens but didn't know you could get acrylic ones.
