I've been really into watercolor for quite some time now, but lately I've been feeling ready to experiment and branch out into other mediums alongside it. My two current obsessions are Ohuhu watercolor brush pens and non-shake acrylic brush pens. The watercolor brush pens allow me to achieve concentrated color and fine details that can be more difficult to control with a traditional paintbrush. The acrylic brush pens have been fantastic for highlights and foreground details because they can be applied over watercolor without disturbing the layers underneath. One thing I've especially enjoyed about the non shake acrylic pens is their thicker paint consistency. They tend to provide more uniform coverage and are less prone to bleeding, making them great for those final finishing touches. What art material have you been obsessed with lately? 🎨

I've tried to take a shot of this beautiful artwork that's sitting on my desk without my reflection in it. 😂 @Hansheng Lee's beautiful art serves as a reminder of friendship and inspiration. That sparkle, that deep brilliance makes me smile every day! Simply beautiful! The cats seem to like it too. 😻

I swatched my order this past Wednesday! The weather was cool and sun shining so what better day to complete it! I purposely tried to make bottles similar to the sizes I received which made me happy. I did get a lot of shimmery ones which were very pretty! Seeing the swatches on paper looks immaculate. Black Masquerade is so pretty with how it shimmers in the light and Tumultuous Tides surprised me. I didn’t think I would like it but I like how vibrant it is! What color stands out to you guys? I did attach a video and will make some reels or shorts for the swatching process. Look out for that! 👀

New Ink Explorations 🎨 During the live unboxing today, I spent some time swatching these beautiful Ferris Wheel Press inks, and it turned into one of those calm, exploratory moments that reminds me why we create in the first place. There’s something grounding about watching color unfold on paper~ how saturation shifts, how texture appears, how each ink has its own personality. Swatching might seem simple, but it’s also research, play, and creative connection all at once. These little studies often become references for future work, palettes, or unexpected inspiration later on. Does anyone else keep (a) swatch book(s)? Creative practice doesn’t always have to be big or polished. Sometimes it’s just showing up, testing materials, and letting curiosity lead. ✨ What’s a material or tool you’ve been wanting to experiment with lately? ✨ Favorite color out of these~?

The new Ferris Wheel Press Inks came in! Recommended by others, come in cute potion like bottles and packaging is very aesthetic. Nothing got broken and the delivery was very fast too. I’ll be swatching them this weekend and bought a number of shimmery ones to add to my drawings. Once I get it swatched and drawn I’ll update on here.
