Last Thing with the Copics

My watercolours arrived as I was colouring this. For my birthday Tom was kind enough to replace my beloved set of Winsor and Newton watercolour tubes which were unfortunately lost in numerous house moves last year. ...although sod's law suggests they'll turn up at the bottom of a box in the future.

For colouring vibrant things (well that would be all of my things then) very very quickly and effectively, Copics are great. They are great in all respects - a pleasure to use, they store well, no mess and I feel confident with them. However watercolours are so much greater in all of those respects. Marker pens, no matter how colourful and numerous, will not satisfy the soul like paints do. 

It's great to be reunited with my old friends.
