I posted a bunch of my work on there, but darned if I've figured out what I have to do so folks who go in to purchase art can see my pieces with prices. I have that on my todo list - figure out RedBubble.Debra Keircehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391213568280558242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889343485717851309.post-26567143213418990322009-09-14T16:07:31.803-07:002009-09-14T16:07:31.803-07:00Thank you so much Arcobaleno, Barbara and Deb for ...Thank you so much Arcobaleno, Barbara and Deb for all your lovely, thoughtful comments. <br /><br />I love using the graphite on the drafting film too Barbara, and I love what you do - it is sooo smooth, although I feel the need to do some colour again soon.<br /><br />Deb, I use a couple of layers of workable fixative. It works much better than a spray varnish, which dries unevenly. The first coat of fixative is generally a bit uneven, but the second or third coat are usually great. I haven't had any problem with the graphite running, (only the purple coloured pencil like we talked about before).<br /><br />I did check out Lulu too, and would look at that down the track if I can't convince a publisher about the drafting film. I get sooooo many enquiries about it on here, Flickr, RedBubble etc.- so I know the interest is definitely there!!!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01840364245091965136noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889343485717851309.post-78272708305031933512009-09-14T14:53:35.604-07:002009-09-14T14:53:35.604-07:00I agree Karen. And if you ever self publish a boo...I agree Karen. And if you ever self publish a book on Lulu.com, let me know and I will buy it! This is a beautiful piece. Do you spray with a matte finish when you do these? I'd be afraid the graphite would run a bit, but yours look just perfect.Debra Keircehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12391213568280558242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7889343485717851309.post-71383251900910705122009-09-14T10:00:08.321-07:002009-09-14T10:00:08.321-07:00Karen, you are so correct.

I love the eyes and the strong lighting. Anyway, good luck to you. I know I will continue to do my landscapes on film from time to time. I like using graphite even more than colored pencil on film.Barbara A.
