Colored Pencil

Welcome to the Colored Pencil Gallery!  This is where everything begins to POP!  Here you will find what I hope to be just the beginning of my colored pencil works.

Once I mastered the graphite and charcoal (if there is such a thing as 'mastering' art), I began to explore the idea of color.  Sticking with pencil I presumed that colored pencil would be just as easy as it's counterpart.  I quickly discovered that it is a beast of it's own!  However, it excites me!  The creation of new shades and  hues is my favorite part of this medium.  It is extremely time consuming.  Several colors combine to create one finished product--I never use just one pencil when laying down color.  For example where you think you see black, you actually see at least three colors that make up that black.  That is what interested me most about this medium; there's so much more there than what the eye can actually see.

Colored pencil is still a study for me.  I am constantly reading and learning about how to improve my skills in this medium.
