It is 14"x10" on Crescent Illustration Board using multiple brands of colored pencils.
This is the initial drawing using Terra Cotta colored pencil. I work with Terra Cotta until I feel that I have the likeness and then I add color.

This is my beautiful daughter, Nancy. I am pleased with this painting since the likeness is exact. Soon I'll learn if she agrees.

Oooh, I love the terra cotta version as much as the painted one! Tell me more about terra cotta pencils... are the graphite-like in that they are erasable? Or is it just a colored pencil that you like?
ReplyDeleteThanks again, minnemie. Terra Cotta is the name of the color and most brands of colored pencils have the color. What I use for the preliminary drawing is Prismacolor Verithin. As the name suggests it is a very thin lead and I use it for drawing because it erases easily.
ReplyDeleteAlso, this painting of Nancy and the photograph that I used are both posted on PMP. If you want to see them just go to my page and click on Photos in the left column.
