Colored Pencil Art

 FUN WITH COLORED PENCILS

The first in my new "Duct Tape" series.

I figured if they could make art

with a banana, I could use Peas!

I used Prismacolor pencils, 

on vellum bristol board, 

burnished with a colorless blender, 

 

The Queen's Croquet

 The Queen's Croquet

While we were in Wonderland, it just seemed right to draw the Queen of Hearts. I played croquet when I was young, so I was always drawn to the Queens croquet - the flamingo mallet and the hedgehog balls! As for the look on the Queen's face, I can imagine her saying, "Off with their heads!"

This colored pencil painting is 20 x 16" on

300lb Bristol board paper.

Fuchsia Flower

 The Pink Fuchsia

Another chapter of

"Fun With Colored Pencils."

Nature not only offers gobs of colors,

it offers shapes , every shape imaginable.

Shapes you will encounter in all your drawings.

Ever have trouble drawing the ruffles in a dress or the folds of a tablecloth?

Practice with the fuchsia.

I am not a Butterfly

"I AM NOT A BUTTERFLY", 

SAID THE MOTH

"NEITHER AM I"

If you are looking for color, 

lots of color, 

check out nature's insects. 

It's a smorgasboard!

Wonderland Adventure

 Alice's Wonderland Adventure
