A stem with three pink ranunculus blossoms. Colored pencil over lightly carved balsa wood.
Days 44 of #TheHundredDayProject.
Accidental ranunculus.
I was leaning how to use a Dremel today. I tried to carve a circle into a thin piece of wood. It turned into a ranunculus blossom. So I added two more. Then added colored pencil.

Colored pencil drawing of raindrops on a window pane, with blurred background.
Days 41-43 of #TheHundredDayProject.
Must look at this from far away! Back to working from Denise J Howard’s book. This rainy window took 2 tries over 3 days to get to a point that it looks like I wanted.

Line drawing of old woman, scribbled over with colored pencil, colors roughly correlating to slime, eye, lip, and clothing tones.
Day 38 of #The100DayProject. Felt like doing something quick & odd.
Today I played with this:
Snap photos at each step. Decide later which to keep.
Hold nothing as precious.
I’m currently linking the second one best.

My days 27 & 28 of #The100DayProject.
This was my 1st venture into using what I’ve learned from the colored pencil textures book to draw something *not* in the book. Photo by C. Uomini.
It was challenging because most of it is the same color, but the texture varies.

Rusted steel.
Still working from the book 101 Textures in Colored Pencil.
This one used mineral spirits to blend the colors in the base layer, with mire layers of color on top.

Colored pencil drawing of choppy waves with no land in sight. All done in shades of blue.
My days 21 and 22 of #The100DayProject.
In the book 101Textures in Colored Pencil, this one is called Rippled Lake. Seems more lije ocean to me.
I think I need more distance from it to know hiw much I like it. It was fun, though. I definitely like that about it.

Bubbles!

I’m fascinated by how, with many of these pieces, one detail suddenly makes the whole thing work.
This is so much fun!

Forgot photo yesterday!
My days 13-15 of #The100DayProject.
Walnut.

I don’t have the same colors she has. Sometimes it takes me 3 different layers to her 1!

Tweed.

This one was a bit boring after the previous one. But I’m getting ideas of how to do textures not in the book, which is just what I’d hoped for!

Darkening the puckers around the stitches made a huge difference!

Days 5 & 6 of #The100DayProject.
Finished this little piece, despite the waxy surface that was unfriendly to my pencils.
Having fun doing it, less fun posting it.
#ExplorePencils #100DayProject
Days 3 & 4 of #The100DayProject.
Just getting this one started. The surface is a little waxy and isn’t taking the pigment well. I may or may not finish it.
