That’s great Kendra! I hope you’ll share some of their pencil drawings of stones on your blog.

The background is Inktense (Derwent) pencils blended with water, no solvent. The support is Rtistx, and they recommend that you NOT use solvents on their boards. Maybe it would eat away at it?

Beautiful! love the background too. Is the background just pencil or blended with solvent? I printed out your Rocks in Vase photo that I took at our chapter meeting to show to my colored pencil classes and they were blown away. I also showed them the Graphitint pencils so they would understand the differences in pencils. My Wednesday class is inspired to try drawing stones in next week’s class! Thank you for letting me share your drawing.

Hey Rob, thanks for stopping by and leaving a comment – even if I did force you to???? I appreciate it. Newest stone oil painting will not be on blog for probably another week.

Alex, I think a lot more could be said, but I always appreciate your taking time out of your busy schedule to stop in!

My roommates both thought this was a photo at first . . . I think that’s all that needs to be said.

The varying wetness of the rocks is wonderful. How some are completely dry on top, while still in the water, others are freshly wet, and the variation inbetween. I really love seeing the other works in the series that brought you to the last one. I am going to go look at the oil paintings to see if your newest stone series is there yet. See you on the ice!

Roxanne, thanks for stopping by and your comments! I am going to visit your blog now (so that is via Gwen as well, don’t you agree?).

Ice dancing is a discipline of figure skating where one executes dances on the ice with a partner. (There’s also freestyle (jumps, spins, footwork), moves in the field, and pairs skating (where a couple skate free style together). There are levels of dances that increase in complexity, going from Preliminary Dances up to the Gold Level, and then once one passes the Gold Level there are International Dances. You can watch some dances on youtube, search for either the Argentine Tango or the Westminister Waltz. Those would give you a good idea of what some gold dances look like. I’m sure you’ve seen ice dancing if you’ve watched the winter olympics on tv. I’m currently working on an International Dance called the Cha Cha Congelado. You can also go to the USFSA.org site and learn more. I hope this was helpful and not too wordy. Let me know!
