After another four hours, mostly working on the loader, I finally finished the drawing for Clearing Snow! Can’t wait to get started with the paint brushes!

As I mentioned in my previous post, the entire drawing was done with Montana Acrylic Paint Markers. I was planning to use a waxy Prismacolor pencil, but found that it just wouldn’t write on the slippery Mars Black acrylic ground. I tried the Montana markers on a lark and really enjoyed them. They are refillable and the nibs can be replaced. I purchased a bottle of Shock Black and a bottle of Shock White and an empty mixing bottle. These bottles are nice because they are designed to neatly inject the paint into the pen, reducing the mess. The pens and the bottles also contain ball bearings and steel rods to mix the paint. For this painting I mixed up a dark gray that was just light enough to be visible, but dark enough to disappear under a thin layer of oil paint.
