Following on.from tje thread about pencils a while ago, I was at a friends house last night and their daughter, Georgie or Georgina Lucey (she's on facebook I think) draws and sells coloured pencil art. She sells globally and it is very good art. Anyway she uses Faber Castell polychromos pencils and they are really very good. They sharpen to a frightening point and the colours are rich and vibrant.
I just thought I'd feed this back

I like your pencil drawings Margaret, and always give you a positive comment. Although I do like loose work (I may be one of those you refer to), your subject matter needs that touch of detail and I certainly have no problem with that.
I also love to do pencil work occasionally, I've got a set of Caran D'ache Museum pencils, they are simply gorgeous to draw with, the vibrancy of the colours is superb.

That was really helpful Margaret. I now know what to look for, I hadn't thought of a blending pencil, let alone burnishers. I do like your (and others') coloured pencil work, this has prompted me to think about trying pencils for a change, although I am not as good with detail as you are. I like the idea of a more direct medium that gives a bit more control, have tried out soft pastels for that reason but can't stand the dust. Oil pastels don't seem to do it for me, unfortunately.
Thank-you Alan, if I find I can't afford the polychromos I know that I can look at Caran D'ache Museum pencils. Always like to get recommendations from people who actually use the medium. I shall now go and have another look at coloured pencil work on the Gallery.
