Sadly, my local art store is a Joann's, with Dick Blick about 15 miles away. Office supply stores are also drying up around me, but I'll give Staples a shot.Patmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03813277408067142820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989720104825417666.post-41906123349770649742009-04-14T06:38:00.000-04:002009-04-14T06:38:00.000-04:00Thanks Royce!

I would be surprised if your local Pearl Paint or Binders (are they still around?) doesn't have them. Office supply/teacher supply stores used to carry them as well. Good hunting!Gene Gonzaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11934517610414260010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989720104825417666.post-46769064951939878312009-04-13T11:07:00.000-04:002009-04-13T11:07:00.000-04:00Gene, where do you find the China markers?

I did get in some Lyra water soluble crayon sticks for a darker black (darker than graphite) and some nupastels (also in black).Patmanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03813277408067142820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989720104825417666.post-29891302040325031072009-04-12T23:33:00.000-04:002009-04-12T23:33:00.000-04:00I sometimes like to see a more detailed face in li...I sometimes like to see a more detailed face in lieu of a complete figure. This is one of those times.

I just used the face for this piece. The tools can be overwhelming at times. I really enjoy experimenting and that can sometimes be frustrating. But it does keep it all fresh. Thanks for dropping in on Easter. I hope it was a good day for you!Gene Gonzaleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11934517610414260010noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4989720104825417666.post-40336148423823393572009-04-12T22:09:00.000-04:002009-04-12T22:09:00.000-04:00Wonder who that Josie is for?

Guess the combination on knowing which tool to use and how to use for a piece is part of your genius!<BR/><BR/>Was this face based on a person/photo reference? She looks like a real person!<BR/><BR/>Thanks for the post and hope you had a great Easter!<BR/><BR/>GaryGary M. Peifferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11338542823332171635noreply@blogger.com
