I’m asked about art supplies in my travel kit quite often:

These are the some weird tricks to try with your alcohol markers – push them a little and they offer up some extraordinary results!
They make watercolour a little more controllable and are a fun option for more experienced watercolourists, an ideal introduction for beginners and a fabulous bridge for those more used to markers – like me! I love then because they mix with each other and are great for travel. They are at their BEST (in my opinion) on gesso – they loooooove gesso. I find they can rub ‘raw’ paper surfaces into little balls – but on gesso and matte paint – WOW! Love…!
So a great big smackeroonie to Letraset for 1. creating such awesome tools and 2. for sending them my way!

I now carry them in my store, Set 2 of the 12 Marker set (has the most skintones!).

This is me in action, creating a page in my Art Journal and using an an inkjet transfer technique:
I like working outside in summer. I go for a walk and then sit and do some sketching, writing, thinking, dreaming as Angus surfs…Byron Bay bliss…
Making my Mermalicious display box….
This is a little movie i made for the Institute of Cute, to show how you can use cute scrapbook paper to make a notebook/journal. (The little boy at.020 is hilarious! You can hear him squealing with delight from the bubbles all through the vid!) :

Hi jane!! Love the Trinidad song-i was born there-who sings it? Was very jealous of your outdoor studio-love Byron
It’s Rum and Coca Cola by the Andrews Sisters! Isn’t it fantastic! Just in case I am telling you about the wrong vid, I always put the music credits at the end of the movies, and you can find them on iTunes.
And I just checked- Byron sends it’s love!,,

I love your videos and find them very inspiring. I can’t view one of them though, the one of the outdoor studio.
“This video has content from EMI and Ingroove records. 1 of whom have blocked it in your country on copyright grounds.”
Thanks for the inspiration.
Hi Winnie, thanks for visiting! there are two Versions of that video, one should play for you. Most record companies are happy to have their music promoted on my videos and have an iTunes button right there under the video, so you can buy it ( I have made lots of money for them! ).But Ill go and change the music on that video!
Ooh, that was quick. I tried both versions in your youTube site. They both display the same restrictions.
Thanks for answering my query and addressing the problem. I’m so waiting for it with excited anticipation. Happiness!

Hi Jane, just found your site and cant wait to learn more from you. When will you begin offering dvds for your iheart techniques?
i would just like know how you use the gesso i have been into your work fo a while now and thought i would try somthing new and could you put up a video using the prismacolor pencils please???
Hi I recently brought some aqua markers and I was wondering if you add any water to them when you use them ie, using a wet brush. Also do you need to work on special watercolour paper?
Hi Grace, I usually apply the markers, and then blend with a wet brush.
I LOVE them on gesso…. And smooth watercolour paper. Just experiment and find what you like… They are lots of fun!!
I have more videos on them in my ‘Supplies Me Workshop( see link in the sidebar) xoxox Jane
