All tagged Botanical Colored Pencil Art
The images in this post are of artwork I completed using the Tombow Irojiten Colored Pencils, as you will see in the review of the Irojiten, I tested the pencils on various paper types, however this artwork was completed on the Derwent Lightfast Paper.
The artwork in this post has been created using the Phoenixcolor Colored Pencils, which in my opinion are the most beautiful colored pencils in the world. Take the packaging and design of the pencils away, and you are still left with a well balanced, pleasurable colored pencil set to use.
Since the announcement of these new pencils from Derwent, there has been a lot of worry that Derwent are doing away with a pencil line in order to make way for the new range, I can tell you now with good authority that this is absolutely not the case. The new Derwent Lightfast are simply an addition to an already amazing range of pencils to fulfil any artists thirst for creativity.
I absolutely love looking at botanical art, especially colored pencil and watercolor art in this genre, so I decided to give it a go for the very first time. Ordinarily if I was going to do a piece like this I would have recorded it for a speed drawing and I would have used my special paper, the Strathmore 500 Series Bristol Plate, however, I wasn't very confident and was quite cautious.
