Thank you, Pam! And special thanks for bringing up how seeing things as persons increases appreciation. I totally agree!

Thank you, Melinda! The new class is based on outline-free approach. That magic is addicting!

Thanks, Jan! I think colored pencils like to have company! And yes, one pencil lasts surprisingly long.

I used to (and still do to a lesser degree now) anthropomorphize inanimate objects as a child. Everything had a personality and feelings. We can deepen our appreciation of life when see more depth to it in this way. I think it expands our love for the world and definitely exercises our empathy muscle. I don’t know that I had thought of bringing it into my art in this way though! Thank you for that new perspective!

I am still clinging to my outlines (though trying to make them thinner or in pencil). It feels like without them I would be lost. But there’s much more magic without them.

My sister visited the other day and looked at my shelves in my studio saying ” just a few colouring pencils there I see”. I had to laugh as I go through little binges buying materials which last for ages. I havent bought any pencils for over a year.
