Sea Turtle, 9"x12", colored pencil on pastel paper
This one is a bit autobiographical. Just keep swimming... What's ahead? Slow and steady wins the race. This was difficult to photograph because of the size.
Next Day: This one took so long and it's only okay. Why? Wrong paper, the colored pencil just couldn't fill the tooth. Note to self: Pastel paper is for pastels,,,maybe charcoal, too.

It's so cute! The water looks great, as does the reflection. How is pastel paper?
What did you think of my toast?
I did not like the pastel paper for colored pencil. It has too rough a tooth and wasted my pencils down trying to fill the paper.
Pastel paper is good for pastels, or charcoal...but that's it, I think. This would have been much better on smoother paper. I like it anyways, but can't love it because of texture issues.
PS. Did you see the coconuts I did the other day? They're a personal favorite.
Well it's good to know that it's good for charcoal. I want to get some charcoal.
I haven't looked at the coconut. I'll do so right now!
