The amount of the content often fell 10$ short and so I stopped receiving those boxes. However, I still receive the Art Snacks boxes as wells as the ones from Scrawlrbox. You get a lot of nice supplies for your $$$. I really like them, and they keep on challenging me every month. It's such a nice way to discover new supplies and get out of my rut.<br />
The challenge each time is to draw something with only the content of the box. The Scrawlrbox even gives a theme.<br />

These two were done on an Ampersand Pastelbord, a bit softer than the
Uart 600 grade. I found it very pleasant to use, and this time, I was
able to blend my layers of Pablo pencils with a bristle brush; it worked
like a charm and I loved the soft, velvety finish. I will have to order
more of those boards, for sure!!<br />

another opportunity to try something new. This is my second attempt at
using sanded paper, this time it's the Uart 600 grade, and I didn't use
the Powder Blender. I did my first layer with the Supracolor pencils.
I've been wanting to try using water soluble pencils as a base for my
colored pencil drawings for a long time, so that's what I did. The
Supracolor II pencils are very buttery and diluting them with water was a
dream. No pencil marks left. Also, using the sanded paper allowed me to
only use a few layers and still have a lot of pigments on the paper.
Once my base layer was dry, I started using the Prismacolor pencils, but
I found them too soft for the sanded paper ( I probably need to give
them another good try to get a definite opinion, as wells as use
different grade sanded papers) and had a hard time with details. So I
quickly switched to my Pablo pencils which worked like a charm. I'd seen
someone use a bristle paint bursh over their pencil layers on sanded
paper to blend them, so I tried, but I didn't get the result I expected
so I didn't do it much.<br />
What I liked about the sanded paper: No need
to add many layers. Colors blend fairly well. You can add lighter colors
on top of darker ones. No need to use a white gel pen for your
highlights!<br />
What I didn't like: Some colors are harder than others so
it's harder to get a soft result, I occasionally had to use mineral
spirit to soften the look. Using colored pencils on sanded paper creates
a LOT of dust which gets the paper (and everything else around you)
dirty, even when covering the part you're not working on. I had a lot of
cleaning up to do.<br />
In conclusion, it's not the end of my
relationship with sanded paper yet, and I will use water soluble colored
pencils again, it's soooo much fun!<br />
A big thank you to photographer Sally Robertson for the reference photo.<br />
I'm happy to report that this piece won the December 2016 1st place in the advanced category. Such an honor!<br />
It's
currently in a show until the end of February, and will be for sale as
soon as I get it back, so stay on the look out if you're interested.<br />

do one ink drawing each day of the month. It really was a challenge for
me as I'm not very familiar with the medium. But I'm so glad I stuck
with it even when there were days I didn't have time. I had to catch up a
couple of times, but I got to try many techniques of this medium. I
liked it a lot and will continue learning how to use those many
different ink supplies.<br />
Here are a few of the drawings I did. I also made a video for all 31 drawings that you can watch <strong><a class="navigation_external_link" data-cke-saved-href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzHDhsFTewFiRtAMk0XH5Zp-1EtDPQdDg" href="https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzHDhsFTewFiRtAMk0XH5Zp-1EtDPQdDg" target="_blank">here.</a></strong><br />

I keep on drooling over my talented friend <a class="navigation_external_link" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.annran.com/website/" href="http://www.annran.com/website/" target="_blank">Ann Ranlett</a>'s
wonderful work, and decided it was time to give it a shot. I've been
doing a lot of research about tools, surfaces, techniques, watching
videos, trying out different strokes... So basically there's been quite a
lot of scratching involved in my life in the last month or so since I
started. So much so that whenever I drive over a brand new resurfaced
road, I have a bad urge to scratch something on it!<br />I did a few
pieces on scratch paper to get used to it, but I'm now ready for the
real stuff: Ampersand Scratchbord. Stay tunned for more scratchbord
work. This is what I've done so far:<br />

Box as well as the Smile Create Repeat box. The Scrawlr Box is based out
of the UK, but the other two are in the US. I love Art Snacks and
Scrawlr Box. Smile Create Repeat is getting better in quality, but the
value remains poor and I usually pay more than what's in the box. I will
give it a few more tries, and if the value doesn't improve, I will most
likely end my subscription.<br />I've been having a blast trying to create something with the limited supplies from each box.<br />

I signed up with <a class="navigation_external_link" data-cke-saved-href="http://www.artsnacks.co/" href="http://www.artsnacks.co/" target="_blank">Art Snacks</a>,
and each month I receive a little box with new art supplies to try.
It's a lot of fun because I receive supplies I would never buy
otherwise, and it forces me out of my comfort zone and helps me be more
creative. If you take on the Art Snacks challenge, you have to
draw/paint something with all the supplies in the box. I LOVE IT!<br />
<br />
Here's an unboxing/speed painting video I did with this month's supplies.<br />

it's birch). I decided to try them out, and I used my Caran d'Ache Pablo
pencils, as well as my Lyra pencils. They both work very nicely on
wood.<br />
<br />
The wood paper I used is smoother than the regular paper
I use (Stonehenge), yet, it holds many layers. It works great with both
solvent and a colorless blender. The only difference is the direction
of the wood grain/veins. The little crevaces can be annoying sometimes.
Because of this texture, it's definitely different than with paper, but
because the pencils feel very smooth on the wood, it's very enjoyable.<br />
<br />

as I'm busy preparing for my art show next week. But once again, I
couldn't resist Sally Roberton's beautiful photo. So I gave it a shot,
and decided I will include this drawing in my show.<br />
<br />
I used the Caran
d'Ache Pablo pencils, which are oil based and similar to the
Polychromos. It's the first time I do a piece entirely with them. They
have a nice variety of colors, keep a sharp tip for a long time, and
blend very well. I like them a lot; it was a real pleasure to work with
them.<br />

decided to participate in every Colored Pencil Magazine challenges, 12
in total. It was fun and I learned a lot. The year before, I
participated in the 30 paintings in 30 days challenge, and later on, I
did a 30 ACEOs in 30 days challenge, too.<br />
<br />
This year, I won't
do anything so stressful, but I've decided I had to finish all the
paintings I started over the years and never finished. By December, I
want my "unfinished" pile to be gone.<br />
January started very well. I finished these two:<br />

motivation wasn't there. Maybe it was the holiday stress, who knows? But
I got more and more into it as I kept working on it, and I'm pleased
with the result.<br />
I recently found out that Stonehenge makes
120 lb paper. I had to give it a try. It's pretty nice, but closer to
watercolor cold press paper, so not as smooth as the regular 90 lb. I
had to use mineral spirit with the first layer to cover the paper
better. I don't think I'll use this paper again with colored pencils,
but I'll have to try it with watercolor.<br />
So this is it; one full year of CPM challenges! I told myself I had to do it, and I did.<br />It's
been fun, and, I must say, I learned a lot. Being used to use mostly
black paper, I had to get out of my comfort zone, but I ended up trying
many different pencils and papers.<br />
<br />Thank you Colored Pencils Magazine for helping me grow, and thank you Sally for your beautiful photos.<br />I
don't know if I'll be able to participate in all the challenges in 2016
because I have to prepare for a show. But you never know...<br />
Happy 2016 everyone!<br />

little Sunshine. I love the poses she takes when she sleeps, she looks
so comfortable and peaceful.<br />

So I decided to work on a small piece for the Colored Pencil Magazine
Challenge, just for fun. It was also a great opportunity to play with my
pencils on a wood panel.<br />I then got busy with my orders. I can only
share a couple for now, I'll share the others after Christmas, I don't
want to spoil the surprise.<br />
