  1. Jim, I really like the look of the charcoal and colored pencils together. There is a lot of detail in this piece... so much patience. Lovely. :)

  2. This is really nice! I love scenes like this. In fact I have some fabric that has somewhat the same look to it. What is news print paper? The paper they print news papers on? Where can you buy that??
    Anyway, I really like this sketch.

  3. Nice sketch! I have never tried the combination of charcoal and color pencils myself, but from your sketch it seems to work very well. I also like the soft reddish color on the buildings.

  4. Wow. When you come back youe REALLY come back. Great to see your work again. I agree with Evy, I have never tried that combination of media before but you really got it to work.

  7. Thanks for all your comments! Kathyj, the newsprint is a large pad I purchased in an art store; it's called "newsprint."
