Hi Karin,
Thanks! I work on Rising Stonehenge printmaking and drawing paper with prismacolor colored pencils. The size of the piece is small, 8x10, a size I could start and finish in a weekend! It was actually one of your posts that inspired me to try this. I plan on following your advice and spend some time learning from copying the masters and then working my way into full time portrait work. I especially like the challenge of getting a painting effect with colored pencils. I love detail but need to soften my work(edges) which is what I learned by copying this painting.
I have worked in colored pencils for many years and I feel as if I am painting when I use them.
Thanks for the inspiration!
Joan
