Been trying to experiment with different mediums when I’m emotionally riled and need to have some calm down time. India ink with a paintbrush may very well be my favorite feeling medium, as it feels just glorious gliding over a page, but I don’t think they’re very... Transportable? I feel like I’d spill a lot if I was carrying around bottles of ink with me. But there’s always the possibility of transferring the ink from a glass bottle to a plastic travel bottle. (Hmmm.... may experiment with that in the future...) Watercolors would be my second favorite feeling, and are what I usually go to first when in emotional distress. The wide range of colors in my usual palette seems more cheer-inducing than just black india ink would be. I’d say markers are an occasional favorite, as I’ll sometimes use them when they’re at hand (see the purple blob above, another of my calm down drawings).
Will have to just keep experimenting with different mediums! Mediums that can be practically done anywhere, of course.
