After the last scan and post of the shell piece, I started working on it again and decided to brush off some pencil crumbs with my little brush. Well, I brushed off more than pencil crumbs. Half the drawing went away. Thus, I learned that I have to be really careful when working on such a coarse surface, the pencil doesn't adhere as well as it can. I found a solution, I sprayed the piece with workable fix and then added more pencil. I think I've done just about all I want to and its time to move on to the next drawing!

Really beautiful... as is all of the art on your blog. I come here for inspiration... and to remind me of what's possible with colored pencils.
Thank you! So much can be done with colored pencils now. I really enjoy doing different things. I've gotten so many compliments on my work on the gessoboard squares.
