And its not actually going to be as long as I thought it was because I can't think of all of the supports that I have used. I know I am missing a few, so I might have to update this post when I remember or when I use someting new :) I will try to split it up by general paper type to try to make it easier to read :) And because this was going to be a really long post, I have decided to break it up into sections. At the moment it is 4 sections but as I remember past supports that might be expanded. I might make a list of other supports that I know of but haven't used yet. If anyone has any suggestions of things to use coloured pencils on, please just let me know :) Coloured supports white paper watercolour paper miscellaneous Coloured paper Using coloured paper can really cut down on the time coloured pencil can take as you already have a midway tone by using the papers colour. With some colours you have to be careful as the colour of the paper can alter the final colour of the p...

another photo of the rhododendron Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons Getting sick of seeing this flower yet? ;p It seems to be dying really fast, almost before the flowers have finished opening :/ So I might be going back to Canada for 2 weeks in July. My mother is getting married. Which is just odd. Thats all I could say on the phone :p, that this is odd. She swore up and down she would never get married again but I guess after 11 years with the guy she changed her mind when he asked. Its not a definite thing (and Mr.F isn't going to be coming because of lack of funds :/), need to find out a bit more about the flight and find travel insurance, which isn't cheap :/ £134 o.0 ouch I want to try to take my laptop. I would go through withdrawls without it :p Actually its mostly so I can back up any photos I take because we only have the one memory card now that the other one is fried. Last time I flew I was so full of medication for air sickness I was probably drooling :p

peach foxgloves Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons My foxgloves flowered and there are going to be a lot once they all finish flowering. I didn't think that they were going to flower this year but I'm really glad they did as it gives me more flowers to draw :) So far only 2 colours, this yellow pink cross and pink ones. This weeks Scottish words, 2 this week because I have missed last week :( : 1. pow 2. jaup Answer to the last Scottish words: 1. gean is a wild cherry 2. tarry-fingert is a thief

fledgling 2 Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons I was sitting at my desk and heard this huge ruckus and thought it was another cat getting one of the birds (the damn stripped tabby cat got one last week :( ), but thankfully I didn't see any cats. Saw this noisy little fledgling crying for its parents too feed it faster :p The parents would take turns picking food off the suet ball feeder and then shove it in the wide open mouth of the youngster. We really need to put some more food on the table. And the doves haven't been back for a long time now. Which sucks as I was hoping to see small doves :/ I swear I still draw lol I was so busy today with other things that the day just flew by. Actually this whole week has gone by really fast, blink and you miss it speed. I am still working on the support post, over half written and some examples for some of the options. I want to wait a day or two and go threw sites I use online in case there is a type of paper that I am forgetting th...

Finally! Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons Mr.F got a picture of the blue tit that isn't just one small little blur :) Other then that, I have nothing to write about :p So enjoy your evening/night/day and I will be back tomorrow with some art and hopefully the blog post about supports I've used coloured pencils on that I've mentioned (been try to find examples of art to go with what is written)

finally opened! Originally uploaded by fuzzydragons Something that is blooming :) Finally :p I had no idea what colour this rhododendron was going to be but it turned out to be a really pretty colour. Shame its not ours :p (apparently you can take cuttings from them and they will grow but it can be hard sometimes :/) I took a lot of photos of this flower so will definitely be drawing one in the future :) And Eye Spy... a scar (because not everyone lives in a place where it is spring right now and I couldn't make up my mind which one to choose. Go with the first one if it works better for you :) )) I was born with an extra finger on my left hand, was taken off when I was around 3 I think. Wish I still had it :) The scar has faded a bit the past few years but I don't think it will ever go away. There are pictures of me somewhere where you can see the finger but its so small you probably wouldn't notice it unless someone pointed it out. When you put both my hands side by side...
