Pencil drawing
It was almost like the Christmas gift drawing season for a bit. Once again, one went out and the next one came in. I kind of like working this way. LOL It took a bit of testing to figure out the best placement and size before I finished the pencil up, but was pretty straight forward after that. My standard size at this price point is 14×9, but I couldn’t make it work. The house was pinched in at the sides and had either too much sky or too much lawn. Fortunately, the client said do what you need to and 10×13 worked out well.
As you can see, this is a cute retirement bungalow that I am drawing because the residents have moved away. I got to choose the color medium with this one and I decided to use the pastels. I am still a little more comfortable using them versus watercolors at this size.

You must be feeling quite comfortable and confident doing these. They always turn out so well!

Thanks, Denise. I have been doing them since the early eighties, so I guess I do have a certain comfort level. Still, I always am a bit nervous after it goes out the door that the client will be pleased. I always enjoy doing them, in any case.
