Hi Selma, that's an interesting point. I hadn't really considered it. How long have you had yours? They are made from waxed canvas so I imagine that might be the reason for the sensation you mentioned. I have found that the wax does eventually wear off.

I used the Weeks for a few years, then switched over to the A6 for the last couple years. I start off great and then by mid year, start slacking off. I feel like it’s just an awkward size. This year I procrastinated so much that it’s March and I haven’t even decided on a planner yet, so now considering an April start. Was also considering a travelers notebook, but I want the TR paper. So the Cousin is the two book option? I didn’t know it had a weekly section, that’s a great selling point for me, it’s what I like about the Weeks. But I don’t like the two book thing, I’d rather it was all one book. I supported myself as an artist, in local galleries and also stores in my area. I live where there is a big preserve/wilderness area, and found a sort of gift and craft type store where the owner only sold things made by local artisans. Everything from honey to pottery to art to furniture. It helped that I painted local wildlife and landmarks, and she sold a lot of paintings for me. On commission, of course.
@lunahowell2 ай бұрын
Hello! Have you found the right planner? Cousin is just the name for the A5. The regular Cousin comes in one book while the Cousin Avec, the one I have, comes in a two-book version. One thing to be aware is that the TR has changed a bit this year. It was nice to read about how you've supported yourself as an artist!

Love it. ii made a water color travel palette out of a stay wet 36-well lipstick box on a mazon, chopped up a bit of each, about 1/5th of each stick, & added distilled water. 3 weeks later most are melted but some are chunky. By adding water before use or as ii start, along w/3 water brushes, mixing is easy. The gouache type colors layer with many other media, but ii had to remember these pigments are wax based & microns do not work well on top, so they go down first, & posca markers work perfectly as a top layer over neo 2's. Have an amazing trip.
@lunahowell6 ай бұрын
Wow, how wonderful! Thank you for sharing this as it might be helpful for other people as well! It's good to know that the posca markers work well over the neocolor 2s. When I sharpen mine, I place the shavings on a ceramic palette and add some water to turn them into paint.
