EC Colours Product Review
We recently added the EC
Colours brand to our range at Mighty Ape. Having young kids myself
I was pretty keen to try it (and so were they). I was impressed with the huge
range of vibrantly coloured acrylic
paint, “finger paint”::https://www.mightyape.com.au/…eries/Finger,
paint
stampers, and tools
that were available. As a parent, I'm always on the hunt for well priced, good
quality, safe art supplies for the kids. So I was pretty excited when I heard
that the paints were non-toxic and made in Australia. I was told that they are
very washable. So naturally I wanted to put this to the test, and share the
results with you!

Welcome to our first in a series of Adult coloring. I’ve noticed a few of
you ask: What type of pen or pencil to use? So I thought I give you an
overview of the main types.
Colored Pencils
In my humble option Colored pencils are the best option if you are wanting to
get the most control and variation in color on your page. Not all colored
pencils are created equal, they do vary significantly in quality. If you like a
smooth consistent finish then I recommend using Staedtler Luna or Noris. My
favorite are the Luna
These pencils are great, and there is 24 colors in a pack! They have a soft
core which is great for blending and getting a nice smooth finish. They also
give you beautiful vivid colors, without having to press too hard. Let’s face
it, you’re spending a lot of time on this so you want to maximize your
results!
Water Color Pencils
Water color pencils are very similar to color pencils in that they allow you to
have precise control, achieving great detail and variation in color depth. The
difference between regular color pencils and water-soluble pencils are their
leads. Color pencil leads are either wax or oil based, whereas watercolor pencil
leads have a water soluble base. They are awesome! I mainly use Staedtler
Aquarell. Even if you are not blending with water they are still great to
use. Here is an example of the type of finish you can get by blending with
water. Just use a fine pant brush to blend.

If things around your house are looking a little dull these days, why not
liven them up in the one of the easiest ways possible?
If you haven't encountered the washi tape craze that seems to be washing
across every DIY blog on the internet, we'll quickly catch you up.
You can find washi tape's roots in Japan, with its materials being sourced
from natural fibres like the indigenous mitsumata shrub or gampi tree.
Suprisingly strong, washi tape have the same durability as duct table, but are
considerably more decorative. As for its use – that's completely up
to you!
If you're not sure where to start, why not try covering some books for
school, personalise your keyboard or get your nails done.
