For as long as fallen in love, metaphorically speaking, with art, one medium I've always admired has been pastels. I understand that some of us find them to be messy and some artists can't stand the texture of the pastel on their hands, never the less, in the right hands, the results from a pastel artist can be breathtaking.
In the year or so that I have been passionate about art and coloured pencils in particular, I have always known the name Spectrum Noir, especially living here in the North East of England, as the lady who founded the company is from here. Never the less, for some reason, I mainly associated the pencils and markers with Crafters and the amazing work they do.
Whether we are new to a hobby or passion, whatever it may be, or been around for a while, it is always beneficial to get a professional in that area to gently guide you through the mine field that can sometimes ensue. Or, in the case of the professional, getting a fresh perspective from another fellow professional can also only be a good thing.
So this is the beginning of my new blog, my new blog were I talk about and review primarily coloured pencils but also many other tools and mixed media such as Pastels, Watercolour, the various papers, erasers, sharpeners etc.
