Dried Red Chile Pepper

5x7.5 colored pencils (watersoluble) on Moleskine paper completed last night for Sketchbook Skool homework; unsure if I'll add water to this one to watch the pencils become liquid.  Our lesson was to try dry media in a graphic way drawing from life.  This very old pepper pod was taken from a chile ristra I bought in New Mexico and is very dark red and not this bright red.
