It's time to get creative with some mark making! I'll be using my Kuretake Art Nouveau paints to paint a colorful background and then I'm going to resist the temptation to create anything recognizable, and try to focus on the interplay of colors and shapes instead. (You'll see that I find it very hard not to paint leaves, flowers or trees!) But whether we succeed or not isn't the point, it's the creative process that matters! So, let's begin, and I hope you find this journey intriguing and inspiring.

About my brushes
I have always bought my favorite brushes from Drawell direct from Japan. They are handmade in Japan. Drawell will ship readily to anywhere in the world. The prices on their website are in Japanese currency but if you send Mr Maeyama an email he will give you prices in other currencies. The brushes I use are the Golden Nylon Series 11-2, and I use mostly sizes 7or 9 and 10 and 13. http://www.drawell.co.jp/english/prod...
