    They come all neatly boxed and are much easier to take to and from hospital at the moment.
    Fab card...can't wait to try mine out later....I will try doing a side by side comparison with my watercolours for everyone to see.

    I've got polychromos, f&c pastel pencils, derwent watercolours, d&r artist grade watercolours, chromo acrylics, sakuras, marvys plus lots of different cheaper brand paints, felts, pencils etc. I've got cheap & expensive stumps, sable brushes, artificial brushes, koi's etc...

    and I still cant colour in

    I do like my polychromos but I think that it's purely because there are so many different colours. I find it easier to shade with watercolours tho. My thoughts on what to buy are, buy the best you can afford but if like me you're naff at colouring you wont notice a great improvement no matter how much you spend.

    thank you for your lovely comment dawn and Kim. Lovely cards maddie. This one is watercoloured and you can see the depth that is missing. Its harder to achieve the depth.

    playingwithpaper I am sure you are just being harsh on yourself.

    I would have to agree though buy the best you can as it does make a huge difference and sometimes you spend as much getting a set of this then that without achieving the results you would like.

    I visited a lady a few yrs ago after she stated she would like to be able to colour like me and would never be able to in a milion years. After a couple of hrs she was getting the same results as me she was just trying to use to much colour at one time.

    I would never pay all that for pencils, I use w h smiths or watercolour paints.
    Much prefer a paint brush & an egg cup of water than the water brushes, You dont seem to have control over the amount of water coming out.
    There is a massive difference between the two - once I used my Prismas I knew I would never go back to watercolours again

    i have polychromos and have just got some prismas. must say that the prismas in my opinion are better as the colour is more intense and vibrant. also better choice of colours 120 prismas and 72 polychromos.

    angeljakki - love the tilda with the umberella, not seen that one before. great card

    Yep was me... I have the derwent pastels and prismacolour pencils, and I actually prefer the pastels... but I guess that is a personal choice. I colour both in with paper stumps and sansador tho.

    Here are a couple of thumbnails, the first using pastel pencils, the second using prismacolour pencils.

    angeljakki, not being harsh, just realistic it's why I only do whitework parchment these days. Give me a blade or parch tool and I can hold my own with most but add colour in to it and I'm pretty poor. Love your card btw, I've been hesitating over the the horse but he might just jump into my shopping basket now
