Enjoy a behind the scenes peek of swatching my handcrafted drawing sticks. These beautiful watermedia sticks can be used both wet or dry to create a number of textures, mark making and mixed media techniques.
When you use them wet, they create gorgeous watercolor washes or creamy rich textures. When they are used dry, they draw like hard and soft pastels depending on the pigments.
I’ve been making these for my own work for the past few years and have decided to launch a small collection and also teach how to make them.
In this video I talk about the process of creating them, swatch some of the drawing sticks to show the variety of techniques and marks they create. They are pigment rich and are perfect for incorporating into your mixed media artwork.
Are you interested in learning how to make your very own drawing sticks?
