The other day in drawing class I just started playing around with my colored pencils. No plan in mind, just started cross-hatching on the page. Of course, usually when I have no plan in mind, I end up with a landscape of some kind, because that’s what I love doing most. Landscape with sky. So in the course of a couple of hours, I went from blank, white page to this soft, quiet landscape. I used a lot of cross-hatching, giving it this wonderful texture. I think it has a nice feeling of space and perspective. I probably used about fifteen or more colors on this, but I couldn’t even begin to remember which ones. I love the way it reminds me of a quiet, warm, summer day. From far away, those rocks look like a flock of sheep, which is kind of fun.

I love all the colors! This is so calming. I think landscapes are your thing! I love your work with colored pencils too.
Landscapes ARE my thing…. and skies! My colored pencil drawing teacher draws beautiful wild animals, and she told me once she can’t do landscapes the way I do them. Also, this past week she took one look at this and said that this was my style, that she is able to identify my work by my style. That’s kind of cool.
