I used Pastels, Ink, and Prismacolor pencils.   Thank you so much Eva and Kristin for all you do for us to be able to share and comment and learn so much from each other. I appreciate all comments and look forward to seeing all the blogs. I wish I had more time.  I've logged into an ART seminar and another seminar on line that will be till the middle of May. I will try to get around to as many as I can. Such a learning process which never runs out. Loving it though. Be sure and visit Paint Party Friday.
