My interest in the Felt pen Art started with doodling Miniature Designs on thick paper. I liked the medium and it got me away from my easel for awhile and works faster when applying color. However as I have mentioned in my Overview I have an issue with my Artwork. I have for about a year not been able to return to the Pastel medium due to difficulties involving my hand and working at my easel. I work mostly now with the ink pen. This allows me to make the necessary adjustments, I have moved into what seems to be a more permanent adjustment. I am developing new ways and styles with the Ink pen.
Colors are vibrant and there are many techniques. I quickly learned that I needed to plan ahead if I wanted to use plenty of color with highlighting concepts. It is different and requires a different approach. Once a color is applied its difficult to change it. I do not use whiteouts or erasing products. In my opinion sometimes these strokes of colors can be worked into the picture and just let Art be Art. My Artistic Style works well with the Sharpies Ink pen and since Vibrant Colors allow me to create intense landscapes and other Subject matter it suits my Artistry and can refreshen my creativity. Also many things I've learned about using other mediums still apply with the Sharpies ink pen.
