2B. As You Like It; started Aug 21/mid-challenge; theme ? = What is your favorite medium and why? For this second card, I've used lots of colored pencils and they tend to be my favorite when I need to do lots of color-filling like all those vegetables in the wheelbarrow, the lettering above the wheelbarrow and lightly adding blue for sky and some green for grass to help the scene.
