Thank you! That's an interesting thought. I did some bookmarks in Celtic knotwork some years ago and liked them, hadn't thought of doing some in watercolor. But they'd be just as easy to laminate and so fast to paint, like doing ATCs!

I have some set of reeves pencils I got from wall mart only cheapest I like for reeves. then some pencils that cost a dollar and twenty nine cent from the dollar store. not my fancy but I use them" and some that were better. I will use what I try best for me . I been doing this for a while just practicing 5 yrs on drawings but getting ideas to do better by seeing other people like you. I have my own style. I think the more realistic some one tries it does not work. my problem is trying to draw to real. I know it takes time to self teach ur self. I try to practice houses and barns and trees the most I have drawing books two of them. its harder to go by other people but its good to get your ideas

There are methods to try drawing realistically with graphite. I can suggest a couple of them - and self teaching is often helped by getting a good book or two from the library. Look for "Drawing the Head and Figure" by Jack Hamm, also "Drawing Scenery: Landscapes and Seascapes" and "How to Draw Animals" by the same author
