So I bought these water pens.  Hollow tubes you fill with water, with a brush tip on the end, and it stays moist constantly.  "Watercolor never was easier!" goes the sales tag.  I'm all for easy so I snatched some up…
.
They're sorta interesting, but very uncontrollable.  It's very difficult to vary the amount of water you apply, but I'm stubborn, so I forced my way to the finish with this page.  It's fairly obvious where everything bled and puddled…
.
So another art experiment to cast to the wayside!  I'll keep them - they seem to be somewhat useful for 'lifting' watercolor back out to produce lighter areas, and for pre-wetting large areas, but for applying paint directly - never again!

Story: Enjoy these little slice-of-life scenes for a couple more pages, cuz it's really gonna pick up speed soon, dammit! :))

Thanks for Reading Everyone!
