The 1st Day of School in First Grade can be really fun and exciting for a child, but it can also be lonely and scared being away from their parents for the first time or not finding the right anyone to sit with or to talk to at lunch. So they feel small and lonely inside.

This is a 12.5" x 16" soft core color pencil painting. I call it a painting because the base colors are a thin oil paint base. The colored pencils are all the details and textures on top of the oil painting. I worked on Strathmore 500 series 100% cotton Illustration board with a fine tooth which is great for colored pencil work. I finished the piece by adding small highlights with an opaque white ink.

(Pencil, marker ink , pen ink & colour pencil on archival charcoal paper) The colours of the colour pencils & crayons and the transparency of the protractor, ruler & set square inspired me to create my bright & colourful view of school life even though mine was really the opposite hahaha! Enjoy!
