I have just finished matting and framing my latest colored pencil project - it is going to be a Christmas present. The project did take quite awhile to complete, but I am very happy with the end result. The picture is called Goldfinch at Feeder, and it was designed by Janelle Johnson - to see other designs by Janelle please visit her website at: http://www.janellejohnson.com/. Now that I finally have this project finished, I can tackle some other designs, including some pen & ink work.
I absolutely LOVE working with colored pencils. The colors are so varied, there is no mess, and it is relatively inexpensive to get started - the biggest expense being the cost of the colored pencils. Since you are just working with the pencils, you can leave your work station with absolutely no cleanup (no brushes to wash!!!). Right now I have another large picture on the go, and I am also working on designing a couple of smaller pieces. One of the girls in my Monday night group has also tried her hand with the colored pencils, and has finished two pictures already. She managed to complete each one during an evening session, and I will be posting those pics. soon.
As soon as I have more news and pictures I will post them.
