I really enjoyed this exercise particularly particularly as I relaxed and introduced colour. I find charcoal very free flowing but messy. The water-soluble graphite was very versatile and I really liked it. At first I struggled with ideas, towards the end I was really into it but sadly had to stop and go and get the children. I found the large paper difficult to manage and was happier doodling on smaller A4 size as I could move around and I managed to do some more while looking after the children. I was not initially sure about the conte crayons but liked the effect I managed to achieve with them. I had not used watercolour pencils before and really liked them and would like to use them more. Looking forward to doing more exercises
hi karen,
ReplyDeleteit's so fun when you find a new medium you like!
i'm the same with chalk pastels - messy, but i love the effect - and the brush-tipped faber-castell artist pens *sigh* - i am so in love with their versatility!!
