                This is lovely! I really like the saturated colors. It’s a very calming image to look at.

                        Bright and cheerful. A lot of work in this. What brand of pencils did you use?

                            Thanks to all for your comments.

                            What brand pencils do I use? Nothing spectacular, that’s for certain. “Budget” is the term that comes to mind most readily, generally because I buy used items from local thrift stores (e.g., Eco-Thrift in Vallejo CA, Goodwill, etc., although I recently received a set of Crayola Signature Tri-Color pencils for Fathers Day). Think $1.98 for a set of 72 virtually new Rose Art colored pencils (as well as 74 8-1/2″ x 11″ sheets of vellum for $0.75 at another thrift store). A quick inventory of the sets of colored pencils in my studio includes:

                            C Crayola
                            CR Colorific
                            EF Eberhard Faber Coloray
                            F Foohy
                            K Koh-I-Noor
                            LM Liqui-Mark
                            M Mongol
                            MR Marco Raffine
                            P Prang
                            PC Prismacolor
                            R Rembrandt Polycolor
                            RA Rose Art

                            As to the specific colored pencils used for the subject of this thread, they were Crayola and Prang.

                            Herewith a photo of my Crayola “in-use” set:
