Thanks to all of you for the suggestions and artistic conversation about my work. I was just reading a post by Peggy Baumgaertner under the Paints, Mediums, Techniques and Composition section. The original thread was "Pencil drawing technique question" by Matt Terhune. She discusses her sauce and charcoal works. I believe that discussion is relevent here because it describes my aim with my colored pencil techniques. I am aiming to paint with the pencils instead of just drawing with them. Perhaps I should start using the word "painting" instead of "drawing" to describe this work? I have noticed that Ann Kullberg, whose work appears on this site, uses the same materials as I do and she call her works paintings. Of course I do not claim to be near as proficient with the medium as she, but I am working on it.
Thanks again for all of the great conversation. I will post the final product when it is finished. Until then it is great to hear the input from professionals like yourselves and I would greatly appreciate further comments!
