A little more than 20 years ago I was a sophomore in high school.   I was an aspiring artist eager to learn everything I could.   I would take core classes during the summer so that I could have more art classes during the year.   It was at this time that I made my very first HUGE art purchase.  I went to the art store and purchased a set of 60 Prismacolors. Now, I didn't really use them as I preferred to work in watercolor, charcoal, and graphite pencil.  Occasionally I would pick them up and doodle, but I never really did much with them until now.

All of the pieces in this post were created with Prismacolor pencils and Odorless Mineral Spirits.


And now a glimpse of my studio.  On my desk I have my pencils and my copics within reach.
