"Art Haul"

Breakfast at Bob Evans
Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry Colors

My "art hauls" usually consist of one or two items purchased online or at a local art/craft supply store (often on sale, clearance, or with a 40% off coupon), just enough to anticipate a new way to play with mark making.
This time, it was Kuretake Gansai Tambi Starry Colors,  which I used in the ornaments depicted above. The six shades of sparkly gold appeared gaudy until the Advent season; then suddenly, they fit. The metallic paint, while rather opaque for watercolor, retained a surprising amount of sheen when dry.

The top sketch also shows a couple tables of friends engrossed in breakfast conversation, at the local Bob Evans.
