Mixed Media Artists Question - Art Supplies
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I just bought a set of colored pencils. They were made in the UK. They are called Derwent Studio Colour pencils. This is the first set I have bought in a long time. Usually I paint or do art with clay etc.
Is this a good brand?

~ Personally I do not use the Derwent coloured pencils.. often times the lead is too hard for the art projects that I do ..
~ I prefer the
Prismacolor Colored Pencils ..but they have a very soft lead which can take a bit of getting used to .. combined with the
Prismacolor Blender Pencil some really lovely soft hues can be achieved , which I love ..
~ " as per manufacturer.. The Prismacolor Colorless Blender uses a special formula to soften hard edges, and to lighten or blend colored pencils. Use it for a smooth, blended look. With the Colorless Blender, colors can be layered on top of each other without cloudy build up. This pencil is sold unsharpened. Note — Manual sharpening is recommended for this pencil. Clogging can be prevented in electric sharpeners by periodically sharpening a graphite pencil to keep the blades clean..."
hope this helps

Nurturing the Muse


Join CAPI - Create Art Portfolio Ideas with Milliande - 2013
I am intriqued by the notion of universal consciousness and choose to peek closely at the small particles that make up existence.
Human and living form cell biology, the interplay of microcosm and macrocosm, quantumphysics and the spiritual connection to the Self all nurture me with an endless stream of inspiration.
The female form and its nature of being, the beauty of motherhood, viewing the world in fragments rather than wholes and the palpable energy exchange and communication between them are central themes in my artwork.
I enjoy making the invisible visible and creating openended visual artworks that invite the viewer to explore deeper within their own layers of perception.
Contemporary Mixed media art techniques provide a rich playground for my artistic impulses and allow room for an individual approach to the multilayered facets of my artwork.
