A girl and her pencils..... How many colours?

Well, my Great Grey Owl is finished, and I know for certain I am blogging to no one at all, as problems with my website mean that search engines can't find it. But I wanted to share - if ever it can be found, the pencils and colours that I used to complete the Great Grey Owl. It looks like so few colours in the completed picture, and yet there are over sixty colours used! I tell myself every time not to use so many, it gets really difficult to keep picking the one I want out. But I can't help it. And subtle differences between even supposedly the same colour between brands mean I will often use the same color from all three brands that I have.

This is not all of them. There were other colours that I just used a little of and did not keep out of the tins. I really wish that I could find a way of organising them so that there were easy to see whilst I am working. Or perhaps I should do an exercise using a limited pallet!
Anyway, you can see the completed Great Grey Owl here

My next project is a Cheeta. Pictures of that coming soon. Have a happy Monday.
