North Shore Crayon

If you have ever traveled to the north shore of Lake Superior, you have been surrounded by the rugged terrain.  The shoreline of the lake is lined with rocks, many of which are large and flat.  The colors of the rocks in the harbor in Grand Marais are predominately blue-grays and brown-rusts.   Since one of the main natural resources mined along the North Shore is tachonite, it makes sense that the shoreline rocks are rich in iron-based colors.

 Just like a traditional box of crayons, there is a limited number of subtle color variations in most kits.  This is also try for the Inktense sets.  I have not spent a lot of time mixing hybrid colors for this quick crayon-color exploration.
