CP Treasures Volume II - Colored Pencil Masterworks from Around the Globe

Having trouble seeing the details of the drawing? Then you're not taking full advantage of our downloadable kits...because the PDF kit images can be enlarged a great deal so you can see every single detail, while losing very little resolution.
Make sure you are viewing the In-Depth Kit in Adobe Acrobat and not in your browser! If it doesn't say Adobe Reader at the very top of the page when you're viewing one of our digital kits, then you're reading it in your browser. Look for this icon (right) to know that you are reading it in Adobe Reader.

NEW - CPSA Online Show, ArtSpectations!
Falling for Colored Pencil
We were just supposed to be getting together for some yummy Thai food, but then...
Last weekend, I had dinner plans with 3 other artists. We get together fairly often to enjoy each others company and to yack about life and art. Three of us are colored pencil artists - myself, Anne deMille Flood (who wrote Realistic Pet Portraits in Colored Pencil) and Denise MacDonald. The fourth member, Francis Buckmaster, is an artist of all mediums. Frances emailed us all a few days prior to our get together, asking if we'd meet 2 hours early for a little adventure. She was quite mysterious about it, which upped the interest level considerably!




Just a quick note...if you live anywhere near the Seattle, Washington area, don't miss the opening of the Seattle CPSA Show on September 7th!
A subscriber recently sent me an image of her "finished" piece. A day later, she sent me another image of the same artwork, saying she'd worked on it a little, and now it was really finished. Today, I got version three of her "finished" piece!
