Playing around with some "gel sticks" a friend gave me. They were kind of like crayons, but buttery, almost wet like? I was playing around with several little sketches. Wasn't sure what to do with them. Then at one point I experimented with just going thick and use them kind of like oil pastel. They are interesting. Some are totally opaque. Some are completely translucent. Sone build up similar to oil sticks or paint. Some just stayed thin like watercolor no matter how much pressure I applied. Next time I'm going to play with them like watercolor. I'm intrigued. Meanwhile... its 2am. WHEN did that happen?? Swear it was 9pm last time I looked!
