Good for Uncle Dave.

I've decided to relive a childhood experience. A month ago I bought the Dover book of 'American Sailing Ships to Color.' I've got three of them done, using colored pencils (for detail) and pastels (for large areas like sky and water). In the process I've discovered that the DH knows an amazing amount of stuff about boats.

When I bought the coloring book, I toyed with the idea of getting the 64-box of Crayola crayons which I yearned for as child. But now I realize that the colored pencils are more fun to handle and make a better final picture.
