Angel Baby and Wild Ride





These sketches are from my art journal. The one on the top is a watercolor pencil painting of my youngest granddaughter and the bottom is a colored pencil drawing of the next to the oldest. With seven grandchildren I have plenty of cute models and they are very patient when "Ama" gets out her camera. While watercolor pencils can be used the same way as colored pencils, take advantage of the "water" for some nice wahses. I've found for me "layering up" with the pigment before applying water gives some richer washes. Plus, the pencils give the added advantage of being able to go in and pick out some details.
