I received this week from @LindyBlues for my time machines theme and have been remiss about grabbing a photo. Until now!

Never thought I’d have my very own DeLorean :laughing:. Thanks, Mariana!

I love those crystals! Very pretty!

Glad you enjoyed the card, @thanate! :slight_smile:

@endymion — Thanks! :slight_smile: It’s color pencils. I looked at a lot of references to get the colors as accurate as I could. I started with the sidewalk texture (spots) to make a resist, then went over the whole card with some various greys and some light brown and rubbed it into the paper with a tissue. Did the same with the leaves… drew them in and buffed them into the paper to blur them and then went over the leaves again with pencils (greys and browns) until it looked right to me. :slight_smile:

I’m thinking I’ll come back in January. I would think a definite yes for February for Valentine’s Day :sparkling_heart:

She says:
This is a bridge across the Muskingum River in McConnelsville, Ohio. I’ve been using a photo to show kids how to draw from a reference for a project.

Thank you!

A thing drawn on a stone from @Lynx here:

I like the texture effect of having the writing scratched thru the oil pastel rock color.
