This is my first piece done in the ‘Prismacolour’ brand of colour pencil. All my other pencil pieces have been in Derwents. The subject is a small Rhododendron plant at my studio, a delight to draw and the pencils a delight to use. Done in Prismacolor Premiere pencils on light grey (nearly white) mount board. Size – 30×53cm. 2008
Won ‘Highly Commended’ at the Frankston Art Show 2008
Sold at exhibition 2009

    Thank you everyone. This one didn’t take me as long as the VL did. I estimate 50 to 60 hours.

    This is amazing, is this watercolor pencil???

  • Heidi Garner replied

    Thanx Janice :) No, not a w.c pencil. I used Prismacolor ‘Premier’ pencils for this piece, a rich in colour and waxy pencil, a delight to use.
