After reading Leslie’s list of the materials you need to create your own art journal, I thought I’d take a few snapshots of what I have.

So far, in this photo, I have several tubes of Liquitex heavy body acrylics in several colors, which I pulled from Color Mixing Recipes book by William Powell, a calligraphy pen, a set of black PITT pens and a box of Derwent pencils I bought a 100 years ago.

In this photo, you can see all the brushes I’ve been collecting over the years and the palette knives I’ve bought recently. (I love painting with palette knives. When I was a kid, I painted a toy bear on canvas with a palette knife and oils, but I don’t know what happened to it.)

I’ve also purchased a few Golden products, some ink pads and a whole pile of other stuff I can’t remember now that I’m sitting in front of the computer.

Now, let’s see what I can create with this…
