Liking your progress with this - you asked earlier why there aren't coloured pencil sets with more colours: well, I think there are, but they can be extremely expensive, more so in some parts of the world - perhaps including Israel, I don't know - than others, due to the high cost of importing them.  Take a look at artists' suppliers websites like Jacksons, Cass Arts, and many others which ship internationally.

Following on from Robert above.  I use Jacksons art supplies, they stock several brands of coloured pencils.  I use Faber water soluble and Polychromos, they have these in sets of 120 pencils...very expensive.  They also sell individual pencils.  Probably the best option, there will probably be colours in the big sets that you don't use.

Peace. I'm sorry for the delay but now it was a bit complicated parts and it took time (about the pencil set I don't know what you thought how many pencils I have. But I have a 120 Faber-Castell pencil set and I meant I wanted a set of several hundred pencils!)

It's always nice to occasionally take on a challenging and detailed painting project and now I've started one of these, I've also decided to share it with you during the work. It should take a lot of time, probably even months, because I have studies most of the day and don't have too much time to draw. But I think you'll be fine with it,                                Here I started by painting a base with watercolors and the sky and clouds with Pan Pastel

You've made a great start. Well done.

Its looking good, David. Will be interesting to see how the foreground develops in relation to the detail of those magnificent mountains.

This is how I finished the cliffs in the mountains! and actually it was probably the most elaborate thing of all the painting, so it took a very long time, but now I hope it will progress much faster, and thanks for following up until now
