Fairytale Forest!

 Hello Everyone, back at last. Sorry not to have been around over the week, but I'm afraid I just felt completely washed out with this medical procedure, so tired and concerned as I couldn't eat for a couple of days and couldn't take my insulin. I had to drink some awful solutions, totally vile, I really don't want to have to do it again, so I do hope the camera managed to get all the photos it needs inorder to let the consultant see what's going on. 

Anyway, I hope you are all well and that you have good plans for the weekend, if it's just a quiet one your having.

Thank you for your good wishes on my procedure and for the lovely comments on my CCC cards, always so appreciated.

I have a coloured page today;

This lovely picture is from Christine Karron's beautiful book Fairies and Fantasy Grayscale colouring book.

I've coloured the page in mainly Caran d'Ache Luminance pencils. Prismacolours were used to create that firey red hair, and a mixture of Luminance and Derwent Drawing pencils for the trees.

I am so delighted with how this has turned out as I steer away from pictures like this, but I've managed it quite well and has given me confidence to tackle more portrait pictures.

 This is the name plate, I always try to do this page as it's a good way of testing out what pencils suit the paper, but I think this is quite a pretty illustration.

It's a dull day here, don't think there is much prospect for sunshine. I can hardly believe how far along in the year we are, it's another one that is speeding past.

Sorry not to have been visiting your blogs, and it's too far along to catch up, but hopefully I can get around them now.

I'll finish off now and and keep safe and I'll see you soon,
