Prismacolor Chart of Coloured Pencils
I have spent the last few days working on a colour chart of Prismacolor pencils. I thought it would be handy to have a quick reference of each of the current colours I have on hand. This way, I can look quickly to find the exact colour I need, as I need it. It is time to get organized. I will be doing a skintone chart too.
This took a lot more time than I had anticipated. But, that is the story of my life. LOL
Having the pencils organized by colour and value is the next project, after the skintone chart.
I am planning on teaching again, soon. These are the first steps in getting the lesson plans organized. I am hoping to get some training soon, but I thought I would start getting organized in case that does not pan out as I hope.
I enjoy listening to audio books while I work. I just finished listening to The Soloist by Steve Lopez. It was quite a good book. Last night Anthony, our son and I were out to dinner at Ben Thanhs (a favourite Viet/Thai restaurant) and I was mentioning that I just finished listening to this book. Our son surprised me by not only having heard about, but knowing quite a bit about the story. He really amazes me sometimes.
I have to work on some things for the show at Williams coming up in November so stay tuned for works in progress and updates.

What a lot of work!! Thank you. Frankly, I'm stunned no one ever commented on this. It really is a great reference you've put together here.
ReplyDeleteI'll be looking for that skin tone chart.
Did you ever consider creating a chart organized by hue?
