Recently I went to the Nature
Artists Guild Exhibit at the Arboretum.
The art was mostly drawings, some oil and acrylic paintings, some fiber
art, and 2 pieces of jewelry. I
was impressed with many of the pieces, but the ones that really caught my eye
were done with colored pencils. I
was amazed at the level of detail in the close-up drawings of flowers. I could see the veins of the leaves and
the hairs on the stems. How sharp
must these colored pencils be in order to create those tiny lines?

I wanted to learn more about
colored pencil drawings so I went online and did a search. I discovered the Colored Pencil Society
of America website (www.cpsa.org). They have an
amazing online exhibition every year called Explore This.
I would swear that some of the pieces are actually photographs.
Looks like I will be adding "create beautiful art with colored pencils" to my list of things to do. So little time, so many art supplies to play with!
