Onions

'Onions'

Watercolour and Coloured Pencil on Paper

Tried something a bit different for this one. I used a very loose watercolour underpainting on the onions, I think its helped with the density of the colour.

I'm still doing a lot of experimenting with different techniques and products. I'm using Derwent Artist coloured pencils at the moment but I'm still not sure how much I like them, they feel a bit hard and scratchy sometimes. What I'm after is a soft coloured pencil. I've also just bought some Derwent Pastel Pencils so I'll be trying them out fairly soon, and some water soluble graphite sketching pencils. Used them yesterday and will post the results later...
