Ever use colored pencils ?

Only the colored sharpie fine tipped ones, but did not like the end result. The colors just kind of faded into the painting, where as the focus of my paintings are the lines I draw...I think LOL

I guess that when you are painting paintings like yours it would work well to outline or draw details with colored pens. What medium do you use...it is hard to tell from your paintings...which I think is a compliment : )

Sometimes I'll use colored inks, but most of the time a very fine brush applying watercolor paint that is a bit thicker in consistency. Mostly watercolors, inks and sometimes colored pencils. I've a nude done in colored pencils and a tad of watercolor, but don't know if tastefully done nudes are allowed here at SF.

Yes, I have done nudes too. I find Nudes are very tasteful in water colors.

Loving the 5th picture! it reminds me of the chakra colours

Nice paintings. :-)
They remind me of maps... like emotional geography.
