Lightfast Sea turtle

Hello! 

Today I want to show you a sea turtle that I started at a Julia Woning workshop.

I really wanted to try the Derwent Lightfast pencils.

Well...now I want them in my collection! Haha!

I didn't get to finish the drawing at the workshop, so I bought a few of the pencils to finish it at home.

I loved trying these pencils and will definitely start saving to get that great collection!

Thanks to Julia for another wonderful workshop.

Until next time, have a colorful day!
