Felt-tip pens

They're so useful. You can use them to write things with, or not. The
choice is yours! Excellent!

And you can take the insides out and swap them so they're not in the right
colours

And so can horrible little graffiti hooligans who never think of the 'or
not' bit and use em to put their pathetic little scribbled tags on the
really excellent artistic stuff that isn't even theirs you see now and
again.
Watching the graffiti go by was the main highlight of my train journey when
I used to have to commute to Boringwood - a town very well named -
especially around West Hampstead Station where quite a few professional
artists lived nearby. I'm sure they used to do graffiti as a form of
slumming!

You can even get graffiti decals to put on your model railway!

Why buy decals? All you need is a 3mm high can of spray paint.

No need. I can do it by hand - and with these Beta Blockers, I can even do
it by hand in 'Z' Gauge!

Some of them are doing just that. I think there's an exhibition of graffiti
art on somewhere in London at the moment.

Oooh! Is there a paper hat and a joke as well?
Some coloured pencils you can even use wet - although it's much more
comfortable to paint with em *after* you've had your bladder problems sorted
out!
These are the best:

And these come a close second:

These aren't soluble. They're sort of waxy like a crayon in a stick. Very
dense and intense colours:

I won a set of these in a draw (pun intended) at an art materials exhibition
once. Very nice surprise.
And these are like a hard pastel:

The best actual soft pastels are:

And a close second are:

I got a huge box of these worth nearly £300 for around £125 at the same
exhibition because I came back when they were just packing up and didn't
want to take all the stuff back to the shop. Always a good idea, that.
These are all professional materials and cost an arm and a leg, but they're
brilliant to use!

LOL I could do with some of those for when I am painting seat belts on
1/72 ejection seats!

Why'd'ya think snooker players used to take em? To cheat!
I was on a particularly strong one when Steve Davis was at his peak, and I
used to look at his deadpan moosh and slow movements and think, "That guy
looks just like the way I feel."
Then it got into the papers and snooker's governing body got out of its
coffin and banned them, and Davis' game went to pot! - and quite a few
others. (pun intended)
BTW. For really precise and fiddly paint jobs like that, make yourself a
pair of wrist wrests. Shallow wedges of wood, say 8 by 4 by zero to 3 inches
high with a bit of cloth on top to rest your forearms on - or more if you've
got em, and put the workpiece in an instrument vice of some sort in exactly
the right position. And for anything you can't sit down to like painting
pictures or signwriting, get a Mahl Stick.
But never take a Mahl Stick into art evening classes. The tutors go mad!
:o))))) It's much easier for them to teach a slosh-it-on-any-old-how kind of
style and they don't like anyone spoiling it by turning up wanting to paint
properly - or who already can. And if they *taught* people how to paint
properly, they'd frighten all the less capable ones away. Bad for business!
"Far too much detail" they whine. Why not? Look at the old masters,
especially the Dutch stuff and geniuses like Dürer and Crivelli - two of my
favourites.
Art tutor: My bread and butter!
Me: What about your bread and butter?
Art tutor: I paints me pictures wiv it mate!

Camden's pretty good in that respect. It gets cleaned off almost before it's
gone on.
Same with flyposters. And Camden even slapped an ASBO on the managing
director of Sony UK for having flyposters put up advertising one of their
albums, and on the thug who runs the main flyposting firm north of the
Thames. That scared a most of the rest off too!
Who says ASBOs don't work?

I already do that! However, I find I get some really good results through
drybrushing.
