I was just like you. I loved charcoal and graphite but I felt a need for some color in my life. I started with a box of 24 Prismacolor Premier pencil set. I loved it. Next I bought the biggest box of Prismacolor Premier pencils I could find. I then advanced to Prismacolor Art Stix. I love working with color now. I use the art stix for large areas or for intense thick color. I am very happy with every set I have purchased. I did a lot of research before making my purchase. Good luck on your color journey.

hi - as a buyer not seller - my thoughts are 1) they paint this black and its dirt cheap but you could paint over it and 2) I searched for a dark gray and found no one made colors but some places sold a primed not painted variation which might hold the paint better but it cost more then this one cost. "Junk Yards" which is where I thought I could get a good used one in my color - online at least - seemed to avoid telling colors and still charging more - .............. That is my experience (so I kept the black as black since the gray I needed is truly dark)

Mustard yellow or turquoise would do well and would bring out the colors of the spread. Good Luck and enjoy as much as I have!!

I use Royal Oak lump charcoal, works great. Walmart has it. I have only used the Cook Air a couple of times but I can tell youits great! Awesome! I would think one 2x3 chunk of real wood would be enough. Do a google and see the lump charcoal its the best.Its real wood that has been burnt down to charcoal. Works really good and you don't need a lot...Mark

YES You will be very satisfied. Be sure to choose BEST when setting up print. I am a graphite artist and can print larger prints.

I'll keep my eye open and let you all know. I tried using different crayola markers from color explosion and they don't work very well. So if you have those try it out until you get the refills. Has anyone out there tried other markers or know where to purchase the refills.....

No, it's a very dark forest green, and probably pretty expensive for an art project. Great for ingesting. Not so great for your art project. Good luck.

I could not find a way to customize hair color. Luckily my husband paints models as a hobby and was able to paint over the hair color to match ours.

Hot pink! You've described me. Actually you can look online for colors, Fran Wilson is such a place...but truly, they vary. Green is a good one to start with.

Use the paint color you choose then use a complimentary glaze over that. A good paint store can help you with the technique.

I'm not an artist... Just a grown up with a rough job that entails some needed self-care (in this case, I purchased a beautiful coloring book meant for grownups by Johanna Basford). That aside, I'm finding I like a set called "Koh-I-Noor Progresso Woodless Colored Pencils 24 Color Set" much more. I don't have the problem with lead breaking anymore! They definitely cost more but I feel like it's a much better deal.

You could try the woodchips sold at most big box hardware stores. Find it with the charcoal.

The layering would depend on the dilution of the dye and I personally don't think it would come out looking how you want. I suppose it could blend well but it'll be a challenge. Maybe just section the wood and do each color. If you do blend them I wish you luck. Hope this helps some.

I went on jane Iredale site, bought mineral foundation, love it, it is lite and creamy, not heavy, use color bb3 which is light, but there is a BB1 you may wish to consider! The site shows sample of colosr

yes, make sure the surface is clean and the black charcoal is very strong of the paper, when you trace the picture make sure you do slow and harder.

I bought two big boxes to make different colors. There was some left over but not much. If you want more colors you could do little boxes but I'd stick with fewer colors and do big boxes.

I would probably use the royal blue or the purple. Try sewing a seam on a scrap of the denim fabric and pull the seam to see how it looks/shows through and choose the one you like best. I usually experiment a bit before I choose.
