I have added color to the lighthouse. It is done in Prismacolor pencils. I am going to set it aside for a bit to see if I want to add anything to it. With the basic outline done in pencil to establish the form, I put color to it for about an hour and a half.

Man, that looks good. Very nice.
Oh wow! It looks more like a painting!
Alan, I love the richness of the red in your Prismacolor version. I also think you pencil sketch is just as fascinating to look at as your finished version.

Alan, I absolutely love lighthouses! This is terrific! When it is finished, I would be honored to post in on my blog if you would let me. I just started blogging and will have a few lighthouse pictures since they are "a few of my favorite things"!
I'll be back :-)
Debbie the honor would be mine
Hi Alan! Thanks for the note on my blog!! I'm so glad to find YOU too! LOVE LOVE LOVE your lighthouse!!!! The pencil and line work is superb!
This is coming along nicely! The color really adds to it. I'll be back to follow the progression.
Hi, Alan. I didn't know you were interested in art. I gues it runs in your family.
Nice lighthouse. I especially like the linework. Keep it up.
I still enjoy working with Prismacolor pencils. I like to use them over watecolors to add texture, form, and detail.

Very good! I love lighthouses. I have a nice collection of the "lost" lighthouses. You're after my heart in doing these!

Hi Alan, your drawing is just extraordinary...I love it.
Alan -- I remember stopping by here and seeing your lighthouse BEFORE you added color. Wow! This is great! I love the richness of the red roof! A road trip to just draw and paint lighthouses would be an excellent vacation -- I think you should do just that.
