Description:  Created in a black Prisma Color pencil this piece was worked on coquille stippled board.

The thick, soft leads made with permanent pigments of Prisma Color pencils are dynamic in their nearness to ink quality and the lightly pebbled surface of the coquille board lends a half-tone effect to any medium.

Of all the pieces that I've done ~ this piece gave me the most satisfaction.  When I was a kid, and taking art lessons on Saturday mornings, it was so frustrating that I couldn't draw a face that looked real.  The initial soft pencil sketch that I made looked a bit more real, more like a photograph of someone, but, oh well...  the assignment called for a Prisma Color pencil on coquille stippled board...

I was really surprised that, after years of not drawing at all, that I was able to pick it right back up again, as if I had never stopped...  Almost as if I had been practicing all these years...

I guess I shouldn't be surprised ~ dancing is like that too.
