Christmas Amaryllis
Here is my completed (yes!) colored pencil painting. It is my first earnest effort with this medium. I discovered the breadth of colored pencils a couple of years ago and have been studying them since then. I love how "easy" colored pencils are. There's no mess or set-up to deal with. With that said, however, it's one of the more exhaustive art tools I've ever used. This 8 x 10 painting took me four months to complete. But I think the color that's achievable is so beautiful. And the tediousness of CPs allow me to be so painstakingly exact, which I totally love. I am pleased with this result, although I see soooo many mistakes. The poor composition, for instance, just glares at me. And the base of the bowl is a little wobbly. All and all, I'm happy with it and can't wait to start the next one! After a week of rest though.
