It seemed forever. The more I drew, the more I needed to draw, it was just never finished! But finally it is complete and I am happy. I learnt new techniques with this one, proving you never stop learning :) A beautiful autumn tree at my old studio, just so full of light, colour and warmth.

A beautiful girl, already departed to ‘Doggie Paradise’ when the owner commissioned this portrait. She was so typical of her breed, loyal, fiercely protective and gentle.

ASIAN DRAGON
An older piece, utilising a fluid watercolour base, lots of green pencil and a touch of charcoal, on watercolour paper.
Color pencil on 100 weight Bristol smooth paper, sprayed with lacquer. Armed with only cameras, a bigger Rolls Royce Merlin engine and a larger oil tank, this fighter’s only defense was speed; get in and get out. Photo planes such as this, played a vital role to the war effort in providing target information and damage assessment. There were two color schemes used by the British, desert pink and azure blue. The pink was used for hazy days and the blue was used for high altitude. Later in the war armed photo planes became available as new radical engines were produced such as the Rolls Royce Grifton. /

All coloured pencil work welcome! The aim of this group is to celebrate this versatile medium, to inspire one another, and to share tips and techniques along the way.
Detailing the type of pencil used, along with the paper type (or whatever else you are drawing on!) in your description will help us all learn more about our craft.
We look forward to seeing your coloured pencil creations!
