She and Susan enjoys working in both oils and colored pencils. Her colored pencil paintings take many hours to create. Each painting is created with anywhere from 5 to 15 layers of color. Each layer is influenced by the layers below. Some of Susan’s colored pencil paintings are done with wax-based pencils and some are done with watercolor pencils.
