trying something new

 Picked up some Faber Castell Gelatos to try out.
They match my Pitt Pens and Albrecht Durer watercolor pencils
so I thought they would be a fun thing to add to my supplies.
I tried making a color chart with a waterbrush and the creamy gelato sticks but didn't like the result.
Using them like crayons is a bit heavy handed.  Thanks to KD Sams, I put them on my craft mat  and redid the color chart. Richer color with control! 
Using gelatos, pitt pen and watercolor pencil together was fun. 
Then I tried to Glaze for a sealed product and ruined most of the work.
I suspect the mica paint touches and watercolor pencil were the culprits that smeared. 
Looking forward to more play...
