Jerry as always your framing is impeccable and the coloring looks great. The Rembrandt chalks are defiantly the way to go. Never thought of using mineral spirits instead of alcohol. Looking forward to warmer weather and your next update.

[Jerry]

As promised I have one wall framed of a small machine shop that I'm building.
Which will be part of "Schintzler's Pond".

Just in case you wanted know.
Main Frame 8x10
Door Frame 4x10
Studs & Firebreaks 3x10.

All the wood was stained with Rembrandt chalk 411.3 Burnt Sienna.
Applied with Mineral Spirits gives you more time to work with the chalk.

I do have the second wall framed.

The two spaces on the second floor will be windows.
I'm going to make my own.
The bottom two spaces are for the doors.

Don't know when I will get back to my room.
It's chilly in there even with a space heater running.

You can make comments if you wish!

[Jerry]

Thanks for the nice comment.  As always it's appreciated.

I don't know what I did after you posted but I had to download again.

I've always used the Rembrandt pastels just easy to get the coloring you want.  With the mineral spirts you get more time to fool around on how much color you want it doesn't evaporate as quickly as the alcohol.

I didn't know you could use mineral spirits with the chalks instead of alcohol.  Thanks for the tip.

Very nice Jerry.

I didn't think I'd see this thread again.
Jerry, nice to see you back at it.
Your wall as usual is top notch.
Nice tip about the mineral spirits.
