EXTRA FINE Paint Marker!

I just discovered the EXTRA FINE paint marker. I’ve been using the medium and large ones in my paintings for awhile and they work great! But I found a new best friend in the extra fine ones!!! Especially white!

“Don’t know what else to add to that unfinished painting? Has production come to a standstill because of a creative brain fart”?

Try the fabulous EXTRA FINE WHITE PAINT MARKER!

Why, you ask? Welll…. for me, it added some much needed contrast. Not only contrast of the bright WHITE up against the dark background I had, but contrast in line type and thickness. I can’t paint a line that thin and uniform….

can youuuu?

I just discovered another WONDERFUL artist! His name is Jon Schooler and he has a studio in New Orleans. I’m trying to find out more about his process. It is some sort of screen printing process I believe. I was fortunate enough to see a large print of one of his paintings, and the image above just does not do his artwork justice! It is super cool! It looks almost like different colors of sand swirled together.

Ummm… I’m not sure how to put a link in here yet, but I have a link to his website on the right hand side. From his site, you can get to his blog which has many more examples of his work.
