Example: Colored Pencil can be done on ‘Illustration Board’. On illustration board the color is layered on the white board to get the effect. I normally leave the white of the board for the background, unless other wise requested.  Certain photos will not work with this style.

This is a full colored pencil on illustration board with background.  Inquire with artist for cost estimate. The price on the 'price page' does not apply to a full colored pencil. This is much more time consuming.

INFORMATION ABOUT THE DIFFERENT MEDIUMS: Colored Pencil is achieved by repeated layers of strokes of color to get the desired effect. It does not need any drying time. However again nothing should be put on the surface. The pencil color is bound in a wax type base, that could be scratched off. It should “not” be put in area that will get a lot of heat. Also certain colors may fade a little if hung in direct sunlight. If you plan on putting in sunlight area you may want to check out the possibility of getting a glass with an ultraviolet protection. With colored pencil  medium, ‘acrylic’ (water base paint) of chalk pastel may be used to pull up white highlights or fur patterns. Colored pencil & graphite art will need a mat board and frame and glass. All materials used are professional artist quality.

FRAMING: All artwork is unframed. Framing is a very personal choice that should be done by you and your family to fit in with your lifestyle and your home decor. Framing information: Where to get framing done: 1. Check your yellow pages for framing shops in your area. 2. Michael’s is a national chain store and will frame your artwork for you. 3. Do your own framing. Again Michael’s can help you with supplies and equipment for framing. You can purchase framing supplies from the internet. Check my links page for framing supply companies. What needs framed. Colored pencil will need a mat board and frame and glass.
