So fast! We've got a second All The Colors piece to display, this time with All The Markers! Whoohoo! Markers and colored pencils are neck and neck now!
by megatorg is titled Kaleidoscape, and it too is utterly beautiful. The rich variation was created with 132 markers... yes, this is amazing. I only have 48 markers and 132 colored pencils but I can see how the design developed and how great they all blend with each other.
Now that there are two All The Colors challenge pieces, I'm going to add them to the footer with the thumbnails right under the Challenges themselves, so they can be on permanent display as y'all pick up the Challenges! I considered taking down last year's Grand Contest pieces from the Shoutboard, but we're warming up to doing this year's Grand Contest and it's nice to have the categories and rules and stuff already up as an example.
Please consider donating journal features and subscription prizes to the 2008 Grand Contest. I'll post more about that next time and post anytime someone pledges prizes! Art supplies or Blick certificates would be good prizes too. Also if you like a specific category, you could dedicate a prize to that category, example like, "A good used set of artist grade watercolors to the winner of the Animals Category." Be creative when you think of prizes. Any physical prizes will require the winner to send physical address or PO box to the prize donor. Prize donors get credited in the journal. Let's make this one a big one!

Crisis over!
At least, over but for the mopping up. I still need to orient all the members to the new password, so please contact me at robertsloan2 (https://www.deviantart.com/robertsloan2) with a private message to get it and continue to be able to upload your own art.
The person who did it apologized to me in a private message and feels bad about it. I'm not revealing the username because it really was a misunderstanding. The club runs the way it always did. I just need to get the new password out to everyone as fast as possible so we can go back to normal.
At least now I know what happened! It's a huge relief to me. The honor system works -- every one of the members understood it and t
No Coup Today
Prismacolorists (https://www.deviantart.com/prismacolorists) is not an inactive account. It's also not going to become a Group. I founded it as a club, a particular type of club that I would have a lot less trouble running than admins of other clubs. We have hundreds of members all on an honor system that hasn't failed yet, the only glitch in the system is that sometimes I'm out of touch for a while and I need to pass on new members.
You can join just for messaging me. That remains true.
Since its founding, every member of Prismacolorists (https://www.deviantart.com/prismacolorists) became his or her own admin, posting your art and following the rules because -- we all liked it that way! You didn't have to wait for an

New colored pencils book rocks!
Alyona Nickelsen, owner and author of http://www.BrushAndPencil.com and teacher of some incredible online classes in colored pencil realism, has just published The Colored Pencil Painting Bible, a big fat satisfying volume that covers numerous techniques.
Alyona's techniques are interesting. They vary quite a lot, she roughens paper, uses Odorless Mineral Spirits and solvents, uses sgraffito and lifting to lighten areas and covers every tool it's possible to use with colored pencils painting.
Her chapters dealing with composition, design, drawing and using Photoshop to alter your photo references and test colors are fantastic. Her prose sty
