Completed Peacock Feather and Sand Dollar Drawing

Filed under: Nature Still-life, colored pencil — Debbi @ 4:39 pm

Finally, here is a completed piece to share. I am pleased with the way this ended up. Any comments are most welcome.

Completed Peacock Feather drawing

I have started a new piece, and decided to push myself and try a different drawing surface. I bought some Ampersand Pastel Boards as well as some Rtistx boards, and decided to use the Rtistx board. I have very little experience with these boards, other than using them in two different workshops, so it is a little frustrating. I keep reminding myself that it’s good to push myself outside of my comfort level, even if it is just regarding materials. I don’t know if the drawing will work or not, but it’s small (a. 8 x 6 inches) and nearly half done, so it won’t take too long to tell. I will post a photograph of the new piece tomorrow.

  1. Beautiful as usual, Debbie! Amazing detail. I am looking forward to seeing what you do on Pastelbord and Rtistx!

  2. Thanks Holly. I know you have used many different drawing surfaces. . . have you used Ristex as well as Pastelboard? If so, how would you compare the two?
