Kitten Perch

Kitten Perch
Colored Pencil on paper, 12x9

This is one of the darling little kittens in the crotch of our Bradford Pear tree!  I almost never use those waxy colored pencils - but here is another drawing done with just that!  I started this with tinted graphite, but the color just wasn't strong enough.  So, switching to the waxy pencils - there is no going back.  The wax would resist the graphites completely.  The bark on this tree was challenging - but I am happy with how it turned out.  I have seen some amazing artwork done solely with colored pencils, so I am willing to keep giving them chances - but I think it is far more time consuming than just stroking on some paint!  This artwork is the 201st one in a row :)
