I am a sucker for a nice tin box of colored pencils, especially if it is a brand I haven’t tried before.
One day no one showed up for a drawing lesson class.
No worries, I had a new box of colored pencils to try.
My favorite colored pencils are Polychromos by Faber Castell, and I couldn’t figure out why they, Faber Castell, produced a new type of pencil. The colors of Goldfaber match the colors of Polychromos, but these pencils have a narrower barrel than a normal pencil, and Polychromos have a wider barrel than normal. Other than the size, the descriptions are identical.
I worked awhile on this piece later at home, and my conclusion was that my wrist hurt and I don’t love this piece enough to sacrifice my wrist.
My next thought was that it might be helpful to also work on the piece with my Polychromos set, but then I concluded that it wasn’t a true comparison because my real set has 10 times as many pencils.
My final thought was that I’d rather be drawing in pencil, so that’s what I did next.
I’ll show you tomorrow.

No one showed up for your class? Did they sign up ahead of time? If so, that’s just plain rude!
Sharon, it just happens some days. People have complicated lives, which is why I have them pay in full for each month when the month begins.
Paying in advance is always a good policy, for this very reason. But if I paid for a class in advance, I would be more motivated to show up. But that’s just little ol’ frugal me!
