Ultra Classic Electra Glide
I bet you thought I fell off the face of the earth. The Holidays did me in. I have been busy doing this drawing though. This is my husband's Harley. This is my first endeavor in colored pencil without the aid of a step by step tutorial. Guess what, colored pencil takes even longer than graphite! The finished areas have at least 8 layers of color. I'm more than 35 hours into this and want very badly to be done. It's 11x14 so I have a long way to go.

I know John was starting to wonder how you were. :) This is really great, Theresa. I took a colored pencil workshop with Ann Kullberg in '00. I made the mistake of working too large and last year when I thought I'd pull out my painting and finish it, I discovered it had gotten moldy.
Are you sure it's not wax bloom. Like a white film. They say you can fix that with fixative.
Great piece of art work.
