Here is my finished piece "Kaleidoscope of Koi". The size is 13x20" and it is all colored pencil on Stonehenge paper with the help of the Icarus Drawing Board for getting rich, intense color. I also burnished with a bristle brush in order to get the solid areas with no pencil lines of paper showing through the drawing. I did not figure out how many hours it took to complete this piece but I worked on it for 3 weeks straight, several hours per day. This is one of the pieces I submitted to the CPSA international exhibition for jurying.

;-) glad i didn't enter, i'd never beat that!
This is really beautiful. I love paintings of Koi. Your water reflections create such a sense of movement. Good luck with the contest. I'm sure it will be a winner!
Thank you Nancy! Glad you enjoy the blog!
