I just replenished my supply this week with some extra Ivory Black, Venetian Red and Terracotta. These work nicely with the Ultramarine Derwent Aquatone. They all have a nice drag on the paper. Unlike the Derwent Drawing pencils, the Aquatone can be disolved with water, but I ususally just use it dry along with the Derwent Drawing pencils. What I don't know is how lightfast the Aquatone is. Time to test it. Do you know? (It is basically just a leadless Derwent water soluable colored pencil.) I use it in my journals along with the Derwent Drawing because it has the same hefty-feeling lead.havepencilwilltravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11018094558258897741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821620340832673926.post-10310487734647974702011-06-26T16:23:25.758-05:002011-06-26T16:23:25.758-05:00Diane, I like the warmth of the colored pencil in ...Diane, I like the warmth of the colored pencil in this image.

You are right, it is packed with memories. Eric and I took it down last weekend leaving it up long enough to celebrate in true Scandinavian fashion. After helping me trim the tree this year, my friend Roz had given me a wonderful suggestion: document each ornament so the provenance of each item could be noted in a book along with a photo of each one. Then I could self publish a book for my family so they would know the history of each ornament. Alas, that did not happen this year. I could plan it for a summer project but I know better, I will be outside painting landscapes. Several years ago I did photograph groups of ornaments as I took them down. My thinking: if anything happened to the ornaments we better have something to show the insurance adjuster. But, we need the book--otherwise I will be the only one to remember that Uncle Otey made the little tiny elf out of pipecleaners.havepencilwilltravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11018094558258897741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821620340832673926.post-90335992254430459012010-01-19T16:50:19.560-06:002010-01-19T16:50:19.560-06:00That is an amazingly beautiful tree so dense with ...That is an amazingly beautiful tree so dense with memories and color and light, thank you for sharing!Lisa Rydin Ericksonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05761413656638373290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821620340832673926.post-33906249250321409592010-01-11T16:10:05.023-06:002010-01-11T16:10:05.023-06:00The tree would not have gotten decorated without R...The tree would not have gotten decorated without Roz's help this year. (Thanks again, Roz.) And, becoming a Monster Ornament Collector is not a bad thing--especially when the ornaments are ending up on my tree. Yes, there are thirty-nine (!) more from Roz: two hand made, bead confections; two straight-from-Patina gems; and two boxes full of the hard-to-find tiny and smallish sizes perfect for filling in empty spots. You see, Roz has now become a seasoned trimmer with an eye for the perfect, tree destined, shiny object.havepencilwilltravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11018094558258897741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821620340832673926.post-85245803753397835392010-01-08T09:49:17.490-06:002010-01-08T09:49:17.490-06:00Diane, as you know you have created a monster—now ...Diane, as you know you have created a monster—now I look everywhere for ornaments, and since they are all on sale at this time of year (January) I'm finding them. I had great fun helping you trim your tree. I can't remember laughing so hard. It was great to hear all the stories, and thank you for putting up with the "who's this from?" "where did you get this" barrage of questions. I hope you make a book of ornaments so your grandchildren and their children can have all these memories down on paper!<br /><br />And many thanks to Eric for feeding us so well!Roz Stendahlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00061887573140735228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821620340832673926.post-20846845628478598002010-01-07T00:20:04.663-06:002010-01-07T00:20:04.663-06:00WOW!

As I said when we met, colored pencils have real utility when you have little children and babies around. Eric and I returned home yesterday after a glorious week in Utah. If we did not have friends and family here we could be tempted to move to the Watsatch Mountains. He fished and I painted every day. We have always liked the skiing in Utah but now we think the Fall might be the best time for a trip to your beautiful state. I'll be posting some of the Utah paintings soon.havepencilwilltravelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11018094558258897741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5821620340832673926.post-68661237312916154222009-09-28T16:24:15.855-05:002009-09-28T16:24:15.855-05:00Beautiful work!
