YEP - LOVE 'EM ..........

Well I have to say I really love these pencils - so far they have done everything I wanted from them.

I am still to try a landscape, a seascape and a nude but based on the results I am getting and what I am learning as I go I think they are a winner.  I've sketched out a landscape to work on and looking through photos for a seascape; maybe one that Jules sent.

A complete opposite to my experiences with soft pastels and, to a lesser degree, oil pastels.

I have been pushing them to just see how far I could go and each time they come up trumps.  The only thing they 'fall' down on is when you want to do a white highlight like the whiskers on this Snow Leopard; but I just put them in with white gouache.
