Why I use colored pencil as my chosen media:

1. I love the control I have. I can put pin point dot exactly where I want.
2. I don't have to pre-mix the colors before I start to work - that way I can work for 8 hours straight or 1 hour if I have a busy day.
3. I can push its limits as far as realism goes.
4. I can take it on my trips packing very lightly.
5. It is non-toxic.

What I hate about them:

1. It takes so much time to complete relatively realistic rendering of your chosen subject.
2. I have to stop frequently to sharpen the pencil.
3. You can't erase your mistakes especially with prismacolors.

What is your chosen media and what do you like about it?

Agnieszka, I teach classes in your area, and I teach methods of covering large areas, drawing with dull pencils and the ability to erase in 4 different ways, as well as methods of engraving light colors over dark, and the use of special pencils that will cover other pencils. Check out my journal for my next class!
