Well I have been so art starved for the last few weeks, too much work and not any art timne.  So because I want to do a portrait on black paper I saw this challenge from Paint and Draw Together - Lela always comes up with such wonderful things to paint - and said this would be a perfect starter to see how differently the color react on black.  And believe it or not, old polkie got this done this afternoon in just a couple of hours from laying out the drawing and putting together.  Fastest color pencil piece I've ever done.  Of couse is it only 6x8 and I didn't have to lay in the background, just used the colored black ground.

This is color pencil and no solvent, this time it is only layering colors and using an art blender for additional wax and then some q-tips to smush it around and blend together.  Also gave me the shiny surface that came together well with this subject.

Now the rain is gone and it's time to go out on the portch for a little R&R with the hubby.

Thanks for stopping by and hope you all have a wonderful painting week.
