RoseArt metallic gel markers on 90lb Stonehenge paper
7 1/2 x 5 5/8 inches

This turned out looking like metallic cotton candy, or maybe an Easter decoration gone horribly wrong. I think I may give the idea another try tomorrow, but with the addition of more gel pen or maybe metallic pencils. I only have a few of the markers I was using–they come in small sets–so the palette is limited. Another problem is that you have to work quickly if you want to be able to blend them at all, because once they dry, they’re pretty much permanent. You can build up a few layers, though that, too, is difficult on this paper. It wants to warp and crumble if you threaten it with anything even slightly damp.
