Oh they look like so much fun. I bought a cheap set of them and they are worthless but I could see the potential of getting some good ones to use. Someday...:))
These look great! So how do you think the prismas compare to the durers? The look luminous on that black paper!
these look pretty cool! :)
are you satisfied with faber castel? I used to draw with their regular pencils, but then switched to derwent and was much more satisfied. I have only used derwent watercolour pencils so far :)
What gorgeous juicy colours! Looks like an interesting course - will look forward to following your progress!
woooooo, I can't wait to see the magic that spawns from these pencils ;)
I don't know what it is I always love to see color charts or wheels.......
Yours are very nice love all these rainbow shades! Just makes me feel good.
Have a nice day!
What a great exercise - something we all ought to do more often. Wonderful to try so many different types of pencil. Does the course continue with real pieces of artwork to come?? Hope so.
I have a small set of Prismacolor Watercolor pencils. I don't really know what to do with them but I diddle with them from time to time. The hat I drew while on vacation was with them. I used a water pen to spread the color.
I look forward to learn from what you are learning. Nice of you to pass it on.
Oh, we are in for a treat when you finish this workshop! Love the color charts of all the pencils - and love the quote! ha ha
does it make me a geek to admit that I have ALWAYS loved making color charts?!? :)
Mmmm, so much color...(drooling)
Looks like you are having a lot of fun!
OOOH! What pretty jewels!
I'll be interested to follow along. I owned a set of watercolor pencils once but I didn't know what to use them for and gave them to a young girl from church who LOVES art. I think she put them to better use. I received you ATC's today. Thank you very much, they are beautiful. I plan to send you a surprise soon, not ATC's as I haven't done any, but something else.
Oh this looks like fun, wish I had time to take one of Cathy's classes.
I am glad to hear your enrollment for such a creative water colour pencil class.
Love the colopurs chart shown here, very soothing and inviting!
I would love to hear more of your experience on this and the fun part of your class Margaret!
Wow! Such an incredible collection of swatches...
It looks like a lot of fun.... Have a great day!
