Blooms in October

Spurred on by the Wetcanvas! october colored pencil challenge forum, I started this art card (2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches) on grey-blue colourfix with prismacolor pencils. I was rather inspired by all the varieties of color in just one rose. Included in this pallette are Sunburst yellow, Goldenrod, Hot Pink, Henna, Marine Green, Peach, Salmon Pink, Spring Green, White, Black.... I could go on and on. The funny thing is, I never actually count the number of colors or layers that I use/do. I just do them when the picture needs them, or as I feel like it. Which may mean making it more saturated or a different tone entirely (evil snickers).


Ah well, the luxury of artistic license enables me to put on an extra eye or nose if I ever desired to. Not that anyone would look especially good with an extra nose or eye, but I wouldn't wish to offend anyone if he or she would disagree.

Happy blogging!

My favorite Spot

This is a art card (2 1/2 x 3 1/2 inches) of our family cat, Milo, on colourfix paper, done by Prismacolor pencils.
This art card was great fun to do, it included so many warm colors.
Goldenrod
Vermillion
Burnt Ochre
Look at that cat! Doe's he know how to do anything but lay there like he's in a spa? He's always in that basket, at least if it isn't already taken by another fellow cat. "Milo! Do something useful! Dust some cobwebs with your tail." I should command him. He would merely roll his eyes over to gaze scornfully at me, and I wouldn't even have to hear his low grating of a meow to know that he felt that he was superior in the matter. Oh well, I tell myself, at least he supplies photogenic poses for me to draw.
