Rose in colored pencil

[Kathysutterlin]

  Thank you Nolan for this fabulous class.

I learned a lot about how to use colored pencils drawing this rose.  I'm hoping you will be teaching more classes in this medium. This is fun stuff!

Great Kathy that you could do this class. The rose looks so good. I envy you a bit for this, since I have always wanted to use pencils, too. Did not know what to do with these. These expensiv dervent colour pencils are lying around idle. I shall go for this class someday. There is so much to learn!

[Kathysutterlin]

  Mea, Patricia, Barry, and Gita. It was a fun class. I'm definitely going to do more with colored pencils.

   Nolan for another interesting and informative class which I thoroughly enjoyed. Unfortunately, I jumped the gun  , instead of listening to your instructions first, I went ahead and transferred the template and included what I thought was required, so the appearance of my rose drawing is slightly different although the rose is as per your instructions.  My apologies.  I battled with my Strathmore Colored Pencil paper as I found it to have too much tooth and so could not blend very well with the blenders.  It kind of looks very "scratchy".  My background was a mess and I tried to smooth it out with Turpenoid spirits.  Besides all the drama, it was a super class which had me up well past my bedtime as it was so interesting, I could not put it down.  Comments and critiques are always happily received and valued.  Thank you, Patricia

   I love your rose, Patricia. It is beautiful. 

Your planning "drama" doesn't show at all.

I like your background. It is nice and smooth. My background is rough.  I plan to go over mine again as I just received my new pencils of a better quality.

[MaryAnne Long]

Patricia,

You hid the drama well - painting looks fantastic.  The petals are so delicate.

    so much Kathy and Mea for always being so encouraging. I really appreciate your lovely comments especially after the struggle I had with my paper being so rough, even though it is indicated for Colored Pencils. 


Kathy, pencils definitely do make a difference to one's work as you have found out with graphite Tombows, same goes for coloured pencils.  I have two sets Prismacolor and Faber Castell and I find the Faber one's so much more smooth to apply. I think it would be a good idea to go to an Art store and try different brands out before you purchase.  Wish I could have done that.
