I didn't video this process, sadly, but I did take pictures along the way. I love how he turned out!

I have a watercolor underpainting here, followed by soft pastels and colored pencils. ... View the Post

Delicate Flowers with Inktense Pencils

I am here again with one of my favorite art supplies! Inktense pencils are made by Derwent. They are an amazing, vibrant, ink-based colored pencil. You can use it dry or activate it with water. Once the activated ink dries and sets, it won't move. This is a great quality for underpaintings! I love this delicate pattern for wallpaper & fabric! You can purchase it HERE at Spoonflower. :) ...
