Sometimes, our paintings don't turn out very well. Sometimes, they are just plain ugly! :) The good news is that you can just paint right over it! The picture below didn't come out anywhere near what I was imaging in my head, so I proceeded to collage some papers over the top, add paint, and a Stabilo pencil. SHORT VIDEO HERE! SHORT VIDEO HERE!

I used colored pencils and Inktense pencils here, with a light watercolor wash in the background. ... View the Post
Pastel Colored Pencils
If you like pastel colors, you may enjoy this specialized set of "macron" colored pencils. I drew this quick sketch in my Talens Art Creations book.
