A quite boring afternoon without any phone calls. I was browsing one of the borrowed books from the library, page by page, picture by picture. Next to me was a set of Staedtler coloured pencils, half-way used probably by some visitors’ kids.

I got my sketch journal book out and started to imitate one of them originally drawn by pastel. It took me about an hour, on and off, chatting and doing some other work in the middle.

I always thought that coloured pencils are the toys for young children. However, after having seen some artists’ coloured pencil work, I was completely amazed. To me, it seems that it doesn’t really matter what medium you use, it’s how you do it, as always it should be.

Here is the thing I did, I quite like it, though the density of the colours had a significant lose in the scanning process. Hubby said the proportion wasn’t quite right and the angle from the viewer was like that you have to stand in the river to look at the bridge. Is it the case?
