Pros: Best
Cons: Best
Best Uses: Personal
Describe Yourself: Professional
I have a complete set of Derwent Intensives, bought this smaller set to travel with. They have improved the carry wrap by putting a bottom flap so that pencils do not slip out. Big Plus! I add a few lighter wc pencils to make complete range of colors. I use a brush to hit the colors and paint. I rarely use them as pencils but the option is always there. A plus is that once dried the color does not bleed or pick up.

Spinning Wheels

Savanna Stripes- Zebra Colt
It seems like I have been busy all day but have accomplished little.  I mailed out the paintings to their new owners.  I had a new buyer from Western Australia.  All were little mini's 2.5x3.5inch, ACEOs, except for one an 11x14 of Mike Smith kissing Zenyatta GoodBye.  This week I have an 8x10 on stretched gallery wrap canvas up for auction on eBay.  Hope it sells well, starting at $25.oo no bids yet.  I really like it.
