New Beach Stone Drawing
Several posts ago I mentioned that I had started a large stone drawing, only to find that it was going to take forever to complete if I continued on the Canson Mi-tientes I had started on. I bought some Rtistx board and started over, ran out of needed colors of Derwent Inktense pencils for the color wash background, and started a small graphite piece while waiting for the shipment of pencils. Here’s a photo of this piece that I finished last week. It’s done with graphite pencils and light layers of Derwent Graphitints in some of the stones. I wanted it to have a bit of the feel of a hand-colored photograph. I’m well underway with the larger piece and an really having fun pulling it together. More on that one later!
I am in utter awe at the ability you possess… I just perused several of your latest postings… and one after the other is breath-taking… It is always such a pleasure … and Congratulations on your work being on the Tin pencil boxes… Wow… They made the perfect choice!!!!!!

This is a lovely piece Debbi; the pale colors in some areas works very nicely, and the detail is exquisite. I look forward to seeing your progress on the next piece.
