Cards of Color

Soft Primary, Greyscale, Sepia, Primary, Fluorescent

Score!  I thought I would give these Tombow Irojiten colored pencils a chance, especially at almost half price.  I loved how they grouped the colors together.  They had me when I read the Fluorescent color pack could be seen under black light.  Way to accent some potential watercolors with snap!  Shhh!  I actually like these a bit better than Prisma colored pencils.   They sharpened quite easily and well, and applied smoother and seemed more velvety, even on just scrap paper.  Color me impressed!

Wednesday Work in Progress - Picture Perfect

This is what I worked on…and finished today --

1956 Filter

The original photo was taken in 1956, in black & white!  I added color with Prisma colored pencils to an enlarged photocopy.   I found the 4" x 6" frame at Hobby Lobby.   I think my Mom will be thrilled - she has always carried this same picture in her wallet.   

Here's a link to how I did it - http://thehouseofkent.blogspot.com/2014/03/wednesday-work-in-progress-wintergreend.html

All colors are the friends of their neighbors and the lovers of their opposites. ~ Marc Chagall

Color me happy!

Getting ready for next inspiration and to load the color numbers into My Markers app.  (Available for iPhone and Android)  I select what color appeals to me instead of the number.  But maybe this will help keep me from buying the same colors.  I likes what I likes.

Now to get prints made and framed!

Wednesday Work in Progress - Angel Mine

Finishing finally!  This was from my Prisma colored pencil class.  I think I just got stuck on her face --   Add details, leave as is.  So I started touching up/penciling around other different areas.

I will post the picture of the finished result.
