And there you have it – my first dog:
Preston G. | Colored Pencil on Colourfix Paper | 9 x 12″
I’m pretty happy with the way this worked out, in large part due to the flexibility of the support. I definitely like Colourfix, and will be using in the future. The only thing that bothered me about it was how quickly it would wax bloom. I had to go over all the dark areas of this drawing and clean up the wax with a tissue before spraying it with fixative, and I have some concerns about it returning.
We shall see, I suppose.
I’m starting a new piece later this evening (a commission) which will be a roughly 12×7″ carbon pencil piece, so stay tuned!
