For the last few years, we have taken part in the workshop series, found in the American Colored pencil magazine. This year, we chose a very different subject for the series, which was the Aurora Borealis or Northern Lights. You can purchase this magazine as a digital download, and try this tutorial yourself. We chose black paper and just 6 colours from the Prismacolor Premier range, plus the introduction of Derwent Metallic colours and the Gelly pens by Sakura. A fascinating study, which works extremely well on dark paper.

If you haven't read this magazine before, you may find it a valuable resource as not only does it provide plenty of data on coloured pencils, it occasionally covers other mediums like pastel pencils and marker pens. There is an abundance of articles offering hints and tips, tutorials like this Hare above, regular competitions, a peek into the lives and studios of other artists and even guidance on the art business. They also have Facebook, Twitter and Instagram pages too so you can get involved in those competitions wherever you are in the world - I even had a go myself a few years ago! Blueberries Tutorial in the Colored Pencil Magazine - November issue.
I was approached by the editor of the USA Colored pencil Magazine to be their featured artist in the June issue (2015), this is a wonderful magazine for Coloured pencil enthusiasts and I was honoured!
Most of my Artwork included in the magazine was created especially for this purpose and as such, some pieces of Art have never been seen before. The cover image was actually the completed recce piece of a Coloured pencil Workshop that I ran last year in Chesterfield, so thought it would be ideal to post on this News page. |
