Here is a WIP of Point Wolfe Covered Bridge located in Fundy National Park, New Brunswick, Canada is the new bridge built in 1992 to replace the previous bridge that was damaged by a not so controlled blasting of the area cliffs.

**Colored pencils require multiple layers of color to achieve a deep effect** ****I used a Colorless blender between all layers**** Length of time to complete this piece. 2 HRS
STEP 1 1. Create an outline in Graphite. 2. Once satisfied, ink the work with a Micron Permenant Ink Pen (Optional) STEP 2 1. Add the major shadows under the peak with Indigo Blue. 2. Followed by Crimson Red. 3. Note the front has 2 coats of Crimson Red. 4. Add shading in the window and inside the Covered Bridge with Black. STEP 3 1. Reapply Crimson Red over the entire Covered Bridge 2. Reapply Black to the inside of the Covered Bridge. STEP 4 1. Add a light coat of Spring Green to the bushes and large leaf tree in background. 2. Add 30% French Gray to road and underside of Covered Bridge. 3. Add 20% Warm Gray to the roof. 4. Add Deco Blue to the Sky. STEP 5 1.

Terrific! I'm looking forward to them. I always intended this group to have many WIPs, but time is so limiting. And so is great to see that someone IS doing it! :) Thanx again! -- ~Jillian artist, Jillian Crider ... google me!

Great information Rick. If my pencils ever get here in the mail, I am going to try to do some ACEOs with them. I have not done much with colored pencils, but your info was a great help. -- Pat
