I bought a few more markers recently, some from Art Shed online ( they had ale on Jo Sonja acrylic paint & I needed to replace a couple of tubes that were nearly empty, so I figured since I was already paying postage anyway…) . And I also got a couple more from an online seller.
But more colours meant that my colour chart and marker storage needed an update!
I drew up & stamped a new chart last night, it is a bit crowded to fit onto the one sheet now! Realised too late I should have used 2 sheets of better quality paper, taped together. Oh well. And yes I got ahead of myself writing out the names & numbers in the second row and I missed one & had to white it all out! Dang it!
For storage I have the original 36 box and the lid, plus a clear box with 3 dividers I found in a $2 shop. Looking for marker storage inspiration online, I realised that I just needed to cut more dividers - and make some taller- and there would be plenty of room for all the markers plus my black & highlighting pens. I cut up an ice cream container to make the dividers, and found a basket that is the perfect size to hold all 3 boxes, yay!
I also found a Touch New printable colour chart, which I played around with to make it bigger ( 4 pages taped together nice I don’t have an A3 printer. I like that the colours are in families on this one. I can use my home made chart to check the names & numbers, all in number order; then the Touch New chart to look for a particular shade more easily. Now I just need to get onto some more drawing!
