My love of beautiful faces and fashion has inspired this art. I'm enjoying the rich colors of my new Polychromos and learning new colored pencil techniques from the "Colored Pencil Painting Bible" by Alyona Nickelsen. You can find it on DickBlick.com.
Just found your blog. Your work is beautiful! I have a love for drawing, that I had to put on a back burner a few years ago after an injury to my right hand. The three fingers from the pinkie over will not even come close to closing and so when I draw with pencil or charcoal (my favorites) I just drag and smudge. So I will follow you and enjoy your work. I can still paint and do zen-tangles with sharpies and such, just not pencil and charcoal. Never give up . . . the rule of life than I hold to. Come on over for a visit, you may decide to follow me as well. Your newest fan and follower, Connie :)
ReplyDeleteHi Connie! I visited and joined your wonderful blog! So happy you found me as it has given me the chance to meet you! Thanks so much for becoming a fan! :-)
DeleteYour flesh tones are beautiful! When I have the chance, I try out the polychromos ... your results are inspiring!
ReplyDeleteHi Karen! Thanks! And please forgive me for not crediting the book to you in my blog! I love that book and it is an invaluable source of colored pencil techniques. I think you will absolutely love the Polychromos! I still haven't done the spirit mixing yet, but as soon as I get my supplies, I'm going to give it a try.
