Another family member to add to the mix. I started sketching the images onto the collage with a white charcoal pencil/pastel pencil for the lightest values and a charcoal pencil for the darkest values. I don't know why I didn't think of this idea sooner. Because the collage paper is coated with acrylic medium, I can easily "erase" the pencil with a damp paper towel or wet it with a brush and wipe it away. When I am satisfied, I wet the pastel/charcoal to lift off the excess powder and paint right over it. I must remember to add these two pencils to my supply list for my students.

The wrinkles in the paper just add so much interest!!
Good advice Myrna...and lovely portrait.
Always discovering and sharing -- thank you! I have used watercolor pencils to sketch -- but sometimes the lines are erased before they should be ! Happy New year!
Thanks, guys. On to the next panel! Meera, these are not watercolor pencils but charcoal or pastel (white). They act a little differently.
I really like these
and Merry Christmas Happy New Year best to you in 2014
