Here's the latest installment in my journey with colored pencils. Again, I used ink as a wash on the Stonehenge paper. Again, I used a side stroke with the pencils. This time I was a softer touch and also incorporated a more conventional stroke.
Thanks to everyone who has been commenting, emailing, and helping me with this project. I truly appreciate your help. Your advice is all good and your friendship and kindness means even more!
Have a good weekend!

very soft and pretty :) lovely colours
I think the softer touch looks better than previous attempts with side strokes. but that might just be be because of the lighter colours.
Hi Rose! Are you working on a series? Did I miss your plan for these small florals?
Jennifer, thanks. I agree, a softer touch is better and I think the lighter colors work better with a side stroke.
Susan, thanks for stopping by. There isn't a master plan for these. These are just part of the "learn-something-a-day" project. I've fallen in love with flowers, so they are featuring prominently. (The small bit just helps to be able to get them done in a short time.)
Rose, very nice job on these. Have you ever used the pencils with no wood? I don't remember the name, pencil sticks?? Sort of like hard pastels. I may get some of those.
Thanks Jo. I think you mean the Prismacolor Art Stix? I have one, a free sample. I have been meaning to have a go with it. I don't know how that would go on pastelbord though. Paper, yes, but I'm not sure about the sanded surface.
