Sketchbook baby

Just practicing with my new Caran D'Ache Supracolor watercolor pencils and thinking of Julie and Dacia who are having babies. I think of them all the time even though I don't really see either of them in person. They most likely know even know how much I pray for them and their baby's well-being! I'm so happy for them both! Life is precious and amazing! So, Julie and Dacia–if you are reading this–I'm excited for you!

KVAL - Caran D'Ache Workshop


KVAL - Caran D'Ache Workshop, originally uploaded by pejnolan

I completed this today during the Caran D'Ache workshop with Kristy Kutch. I haven't drawn from still life in forever and it felt really good. The products are so versitle. With regular colored pencil the technique is linear: you start at the bottom and build up layers from there. With the highly consentrated pigments found in Caran D'Ache watercolor pencils, museum sticks, and water-soluble crayons, you can lay color down, lift it up, move it around, blend - they really are amazing and the colors are so vibrant. I'm thinking about taking a 4 day workshop next September with Krist Kutch in Lake Geneva next year!
