  1. Peter the obvious answer is potatoes.

    Coloured pencils are great. I bought Polychromos but I never use them. 😭

    What 13 years? Congrats! Get some cake.

    13 years and I am still amazed by watching your process and how the forms come to life. What does that tell you?

  2. Acrylic paint, you can put it in a pen/brush pen. Not limited by oil’s eccentricities/smell but can render images from drawings-murals.

    Transparent or opaque, airbrush or impasto it can do anything, EVEN THOUGH I admit individual products do a better job at their specific use cases, watercolor, oils, enamels, India inks. Still acrylic can do them all well and professionally.

  3. I love these colours! I've been tie dying this week and have had a lot of fun with all the colours.

    The art supply I'd choose if I could only have one would be harakeke – a native plant here in Aotearoa New Zealand for weaving, extracting fibre. I still have so much to learn so that's the one I'd choose.

  4. Hullo Peter, I love Hamburgers! They are so versatile, toppings and ingredients included with the patty switching the buns with every kind of bread too! Watercolors are the medium of my ultimate choice! I was told my rehabilitation would progress much faster if I participated in an art centered activity. The trouble was I had worked in just about every art medium they had experience with! I had to find one that I could learn in and about. Soft pastels was truly a thing that I had never bothered with. I started watching videos on YouTube by Alain Picard. He Painted with soft pastels!!! I don’t believe that I had ever heard someone even saying this? I think drawing with pastels was the terminology used by everyone before I started watching his videos! I cannot express how different the feeling is of painting versus drawing with soft pastels! It is a different mindset, and a completely different way of looking at the medium! Well, I am doing much better, and have taken to working with this new medium as a duck to water! Silly I know, but it has brought my dexterity back and my creativity is alive and well. I encourage you to do as many different mediums as possible but maybe keep one in your back pocket that you can use in the future should you ever need art as a therapy solution! Yes I have made sculptures, ceramic, glass, iron and wood! No marble as it is so expensive and time consuming! Yes, of course I’m talking like a little having done so many different things. I am glad I had soft pastels to turn to but it would’ve been nice to have a less messy option in my back pocket for art therapy. Congratulations on 13 years. I believe I’ve been around for 10 years and you have been amazing for each and every one!

  5. I would choose colored pencil! At least to me it's a very versatile supply once you learn to use it well.

    About AI, it's definitely not going away, but I don't know if it'll develop into something a bit more useful anytime soon. If it does, I hope it's useful for humanity as a whole and not for businessmen looking to cut costs, or scammers trying to trick people into handing over their money, or those behind online disinformation campaigns. I must say I'm not hopeful for the future, but I can see ways in which AI as it is can help those who are neither of those things, so who knows, if it gets better maybe I'm proved wrong.

  6. I have to stop buying art supplies!! i have too much as it is – evry time a medium i haven't tried yet comes along, i end up buying z whole bunch. i haven't done coloured pencils since i was a little kid, and now my mind is racing to try it out! lol! Anyway, thanks, I really enjoyed the drawing and the ramble, Peter 😀
