The two paintings are on small 5x8-ish Strathmore 140 lb w/c paper. Hobby Lobby, Michaels, cheap, good stuff, handy sketch-size.
The top picture is Cerulean Blue and Burnt Sienna, plus the greens. The wall is more Cerulean, the table more Sienna. The bottom picture is Burnt Sienna plus the greens. The smearing of the carbon pencil is not as bad as I feared. The larger the size, the less noticeable.
