Rembrandt himself said: "I envy the poet. He is encouraged towards drunkenness and wallows with nubile wenches while the painter must endure wretchedness and pain for his art."
Rembrandt himself said: "I envy the poet. He is encouraged towards drunkenness and wallows with nubile wenches while the painter must endure wretchedness and pain for his art." That might give you cause to stop and consider, but artists move on and it may not be so attractive these days to be drunk, wallow and recite verse, even if you can do it with others. As with artists times move on as well. gilbertIf you get the chance, drop over to Ted.com and watch this extraordinary talk on creativity by author of Eat, Pray, Love, Elizabeth Gilbert. I particularly enjoyed her description of the poet grabbing the tail of the poem as it flew past. No drunkenness or wallowing there.
Dragonfly's pencils are made for creative people! They are for artists, graphic artists, designers, architects, and mothers and fathers with a spare half hour. They are of such excellent quality they'll surely inspire you to put them to paper.
The Lyra Rembrandt Pencils are an outstanding selection with a beautiful range of colours, including strong, full tones to the most delicate nuances. For fine, precise contours and brilliantly coloured areas.
And our Stockmar Wax Block Crayons aren't just for kids either. Stockmar crayons are used in Steiner schools all over the world for their brilliant, pure and translucent colours. They are recommended for pre-school-aged children because they are easy to hold and their thick edges give complete creative freedom, but pick up one yourself and you'll see that all the creating in your household needn't be left to the little ones. The pure beeswax gives the colours a natural transparency similar to that of watercolours, allowing the artist - adult or child - to use a variety of interesting colouring techniques. Stockmar Wax Crayons meet the highest artistic standards, and like all Stockmar products are completely non-toxic and won’t harm your health or the environment.
