Whew, I totally miscalculated how many pencils I would go through to complete this painting! I'm already working down to the absolute nubs of the ones I have. I'll be making an order to Cheap Joes Art Stuff this week. If you've never tried Cheap Joe I heartily suggest you do. It would be nice if there was some place in driving distance that carried open stock Prismcolor of Faber Castell pencils. Actually, Michael's does but, only a very limited selection. Anyway, the painting is 22x30" and I'm going through a pencil about every 5 square inches. It will get better as the pigment layers up thicker but, right now that ole pencil sharpener just keeps grindin' away!
